Read-only API keys for trade import — what to enable
How to connect Binance or Bybit to a journal without granting trade or withdraw permissions — and why TradaxLab checks before saving.
Least privilege is the feature
Create an API key with read/history permissions only. Turn off spot/futures trading and withdrawals. IP-restrict if your exchange allows it.
TradaxLab probes key permissions before storing credentials and encrypts secrets server-side. If the key can trade, we reject it.
After the first sync
Tag imported fills with setup and playbook. Raw fills alone don’t improve process — the tags do.
