Connect a Binance API key

Live execution on the whale tier can route orders to Binance Spot or Binance USDT-M Futures. Like Bybit, keys are encrypted at rest and we never enable withdrawals.

1. Create the key on Binance

Sign in to Binance and open API Management.
Click Create API → System generated.
Name the key tmiyc-live-<segment> so you can split spot and futures permissions cleanly.
Permissions:
- Enable Reading — on.
- Enable Spot & Margin Trading — on, if you need spot bots.
- Enable Futures — on, if you need USDT-M Futures bots. Requires futures to be enabled on your account first.
- Enable Withdrawals — off. TMIYC refuses any key with withdraw rights and will 400 on verify.
Under IP access restrictions choose Restrict access to trusted IPs only and add 95.85.237.203. IP-locked keys are strongly recommended.
Complete the 2FA + email confirmation prompts.
Copy the API Key and Secret Key immediately — Binance shows the secret once.

2. Paste the key into TMIYC

Open Settings → Exchanges → Binance.
Pick the segment (Spot or USDT-M Futures) that matches the permissions you enabled.
Paste the key + secret.
Click Verify. We call GET /api/v3/account (spot) or GET /fapi/v2/account (futures) to confirm read access, then a cancelled test order to confirm trade access without creating live exposure.

3. Wire the key to a bot

From Bots → pick one → Settings → Execution venue, choose the Binance connection. The bot starts paused; click Go live when you're ready.

Known regional blocks

Binance has strict KYC and regional blocks. If your account is KYC-limited, many pairs will be unavailable even if the API key verifies. We don't try to work around that — if your jurisdiction is restricted on Binance, it will be restricted on TMIYC too. See KYC & geo restrictions for the latest list.

Revoking

Revoke on Binance first, then remove from TMIYC. The bots using the key will auto-pause and fall back to paper mode.
