Before you start, your exchange account needs advanced identity verification completed and two-factor authentication active.
Why they are requestedFollow these steps to connect your exchange to TradingIA. It takes less than 5 minutes and applies the same way to Binance, Kraken and OKX.
The flow is the same across the three exchanges; only the menu names change.
Inside your exchange account, go to the API area: this is the screen where keys are created, listed, and revoked.
Account › API ManagementChoose the system-generated HMAC key: it is the one we recommend and the one TradingIA signs on every order.
Key type › System-generatedLabel it so you can recognize it at a glance the day you want to revoke it, without touching the rest of your keys.
Label › TradingIA-spotThe exchange will request two-factor authentication and, depending on the case, an email or SMS code. Without advanced identity verification, it will not let you create the key.
2FA › Email › SMSReading and spot trading enabled; withdrawal, never. This is the step that ensures your funds cannot leave the exchange.
See the tableRestrict the key to our address: it will only respond from TradingIA servers. Many exchanges expire unrestricted keys.
Copy the IPIn step 5 you will see: reading and spot in green; futures only to hedge a position; withdrawal off and locked.
TradingIA does not request withdrawal on any exchange. Without that checkbox, no one with the key can move your coins out of your account.
Now, save the keys. When you confirm, the exchange shows the secret key only once: copy it and paste it into TradingIA at that same moment, because it cannot be viewed again afterward.
Key and secret encrypted at rest.
The permission is neither requested nor used.
The key only responds to our IP.
Never enter at market.
Registered outside our system.
It is cut off from your exchange, without notifying us.
Optional and with its own key. It only covers BTC, ETH, and SOL; the rest operates spot with the existing key.
Futures only on BTC, ETH, and SOL, and only with the optional key.
Have the key and secret you just generated at hand. Pasting them into TradingIA is all that remains.
