Binance Trading Journal Integration

Connect Binance to Tiltless with a read-only API key. Pull spot, USDT-M futures, COIN-M futures, and margin fills into one journal. Track funding rates, fees, and liquidations without granting trading permissions.

Read-Only API Connection

Tiltless connects to Binance using a read-only API key with the 'Can Read' permission only. No trading, withdrawal, margin, or futures order permissions are required.

To connect: go to Binance > Account > API Management > Create API. Select 'System Generated' key type. Under API restrictions, enable only 'Can Read' and leave all other permissions disabled. Optionally restrict the key to your IP address for additional security. Paste the key and secret into Tiltless.

What Tiltless Tracks from Binance

Tiltless pulls the execution data that matters for post-trade review across all Binance product types.

  • Spot fills: price, quantity, side, timestamp, and trading pair
  • USDT-M Futures: fills, funding rate payments, realized PnL, and liquidation events
  • COIN-M Futures: fills settled in BTC/ETH with USD equivalent PnL
  • Margin: isolated and cross margin fills with borrow cost tracking
  • Fees per fill — broken down by maker/taker with BNB discount detection
  • Order type (market, limit, stop-limit, trailing stop) for execution quality review

Funding Rates and Hidden Costs

Funding rates are the largest hidden cost for most futures traders. Tiltless tracks every funding payment on your USDT-M and COIN-M positions — both payments you make and payments you receive.

Your journal shows cumulative funding drag per trade and across your portfolio. This makes it easy to identify positions where funding quietly erased your edge, or where being on the right side of funding added to your returns.

CSV Import Alternative

Export your Binance trade history as a CSV and upload it to Tiltless. Binance provides export options under Orders > Trade History for spot, and Orders > Futures Order for derivatives.

CSV import is useful for backfilling historical trades before your API connection date, or for one-time imports without ongoing sync.

A Review Workflow for Binance Traders

Binance traders often trade across multiple products — spot DCA, USDT-M perps for directional bets, and margin for short-term leverage. The review workflow should separate these by product type, then look for cross-product patterns.

  • Split reviews by product: spot, USDT-M, COIN-M, and margin each have different cost structures
  • Track funding drag on futures separately from realized PnL — a winning trade can still be net-negative after funding
  • Compare execution quality across order types: are market orders costing you more than the urgency justifies?
  • Review leverage decisions by looking at liquidation proximity — how close did positions get to liquidation?
  • Tag trades by setup quality and review win rate per tag, not just per pair

Security and Permissions

API credentials are encrypted at rest and never leave Tiltless infrastructure. The key only requires 'Can Read' — the most restrictive permission level Binance offers.

For additional security, restrict the API key to your IP address in Binance's API settings. You can revoke the key from Binance at any time. Tiltless will stop syncing and retain the data already imported.
