Connect Binance

To trade Binance in Altrady, you first need to connect your Binance account. There are two ways to do this:

1. Fast Connect: the quick, automatic way. Recommended for most traders.
2. Manual Connection: you create the API key yourself on Binance and paste it into Altrady.

If you’re not sure which to pick, use Fast Connect. It’s faster and Altrady sets everything up correctly for you, including the security settings.

Note: Fast Connect only works with Binance Global accounts. Binance US accounts must use Manual Connection. Fast Connect is also only for connecting a new Trading Account. If you need to update the API key on an account you already connected, jump to the Editing the API key details section below.

Before you trade Binance Futures

Binance Futures has a couple of setup points worth knowing — see Trading Futures on Binance at the end of this guide before your first futures trade.

Option 1: Fast Connect (recommended)

Fast Connect logs you into Binance directly, then automatically creates the API key with the right permissions and the right security settings, with no copying and pasting required.

1. In Altrady, click Settings in the left side panel, then click Exchange Account API Keys.

3. Select Binance from the list.

4. Make sure Fast Connect is selected. Choose whether you want to enable Futures trading on the key, then click Connect. You’ll be redirected to the Binance login page.

If the redirect doesn’t happen automatically, or it’s taking a while, you’ll see this screen. Just click the Binance Fast Connect button on it to continue.

5. Enter the email address for your Binance account and click Next. On the next screen, enter your Binance password and click Next again.

6. Complete any verification steps Binance asks for.

🔍 Click the image to see a larger version

7. Click Confirm to let Altrady create the Fast Connect API key.

🔍 Click the image to see a larger version

A Spot Trading Account is created by default. If your Binance account also has Futures access, a Futures Trading Account is created too. Altrady never asks for or uses withdrawal permission: only the trading and read-only permissions it needs are enabled, and Altrady’s IP whitelist is applied automatically.

You’ll see a success message like this:

Ran into an error instead? Binance only allows one Fast Connect key per account; if you already have one, you’ll see this message:

You may also see this message if creating the new Trading Account(s) would go over the limit for your current Altrady plan:

8. Once connected, you can safely close these windows.

9. Your new Trading Account(s) will now appear on the Exchange Account API Keys page. You can rename them any time by clicking Edit and changing the Account Label.

🔍 Click the image to see a larger version

16. Your account will now sync for the first time; this can take up to 60 seconds.

🔍 Click the image to see a larger version

17. That’s it: your Binance account is connected to Altrady.

If you enabled both Spot and Futures, you’ll see a separate Trading Account for each in your list of API keys. In the Markets widget, select Binance on the left, then choose Spot or Futures to see the matching markets.

Editing the API key details

You can edit your connection any time from Settings > Exchange Account API Keys. From there you can:

• Update the API key/secret: this is seamless as long as the new key is valid, has the correct permissions (see step 7 above), and you replace it in Altrady before the old key is deleted or expires on Binance. Your bots, positions, and orders are unaffected.
• Delete the Trading Account: this permanently deletes all orders, trades, and positions for that account, and stops any Signal Bots using it. This cannot be undone.

How to add an IP whitelist to your Binance API keys

If you used Manual Connection and need to (re)add the IP whitelist:

1. Go to Settings > Exchange API Keys in Altrady, and edit your Binance Trading Account to find its list of IP addresses.

🔍 Click the image to see a larger version

Here you’ll see the full list of IP addresses allocated to this specific key. These addresses only work with this key; they won’t work with any of your other API keys.

2. Log in to Binance and go to the API keys page. If you have more than one key, check against Altrady to find the right one.

3. Click Edit.

🔍 Click the image to see a larger version

4. Enable IP whitelisting (on some exchanges this is called Trusted IPs, IP binding, or IP addresses).

🔍 Click the image to see a larger version

5. Copy the list of 20 IP addresses from Altrady and paste them in. Some exchanges ask you to click Confirm.

🔍 Click the image to see a larger version

6. Check that all 20 IP addresses were added.

Trading Futures on Binance

Altrady supports Binance USDⓈ-M (USDT-margined) perpetual futures, in both Hedge mode and One-way mode — set the mode in Altrady or on Binance.

Binance Futures doesn’t allow cross-collateral (for example USDT to USDC), with one exception: Binance Credits (BNFCR) in multi-asset mode (Cross margin only). In multi-asset mode all your balances are usable; the total shown is your actual holdings plus unrealized profit, and Available Balance is what you can trade with.
