Binance Guide

Video walkthrough #

1 — Create Binance API keys #

1. Log in to Binance

   Go to binance.com and sign in to your account.

2. Open API Management

   Navigate to Profile → API Management (or search “API” in the account menu). Click Create API and choose “System generated”.

3. Name your API key

   Give it a descriptive label (e.g. TradeAdapter). Complete the security verification (email + authenticator).

4. Set permissions

   Enable Spot & Margin Trading and/or Futures depending on the markets you plan to trade. Keep Enable Withdrawals unchecked — TradeAdapter never needs withdrawal access.

5. Restrict to TradeAdapter IP

   Under IP access restrictions, select “Restrict access to trusted IPs only” and add: 35.75.198.16

6. Save your credentials

   Copy your API Key and Secret Key. The Secret is shown only once — store it securely. You will paste both values into the alert message.

2 — Select the Binance symbol in TradingView #

Open TradingView and search for the symbol using the BINANCE prefix. Make sure you select the correct market type:

3 — Add your indicator or strategy #

Load your Pine Script indicator or strategy onto the chart. This is what generates the trading signals.

Not sure which one you have? See Indicator vs Strategy.

4 — Configure order size #

Binance enforces strict minimum quantity and step size rules per symbol. Before creating the alert, make sure your order size meets these requirements.

5 — Create the TradingView alert #

Press Alt + A (or click the alarm clock icon) to create a new alert.

Alert message formats #

Paste the appropriate JSON message into the alert’s Message field. Replace only the highlighted values — the {{...}} placeholders are filled automatically by TradingView when the alert fires.

Create one alert per action — duplicate the alert, change order_action to sell, and adjust order_contracts as needed.

Message fields explained #

6 — Execute & monitor #

1. Start with test mode

   Set "real_order": "No" and let the first alert fire. Check your MyTrades page to see if the signal was received, executed, or rejected.

2. Verify on Binance

   For Spot test orders, Binance validates the request on your real account without executing it. For Futures, check the Futures Testnet order history.

3. Go live

   Once confirmed, change "real_order" to "Yes", delete the old alert, and create a new one with the updated message. The order will now execute on your real Binance account.

Symbol specifications #

Binance enforces minimum quantity, step size, and price filters per symbol. Check the full list before setting your order size to avoid rejections.
