Connecting Your Binance Account

To execute live trades, you must link your Binance API keys. AlgoMesh prioritizes your security: your keys are never uploaded to our servers. They are encrypted and stored locally on your machine.

Creating API Keys

1. Log into your Binance account.
2. Navigate to your Profile -> API Management.
3. Click Create API and select System Generated.
4. Give the API key a label (e.g., "AlgoMesh").
5. Complete the security verification.

Setting Permissions

Once created, you must edit the API restrictions:

1. Check the box for Enable Reading (default).
2. Check the box for Enable Spot & Margin Trading.
3. CRITICAL: Do NOT check "Enable Withdrawals". AlgoMesh does not need this permission and you should never grant it to any trading bot.

Mandatory IP Whitelisting

[!WARNING] Security Warning: IP Whitelisting Required. Binance requires you to restrict API access to specific IP addresses. Your API keys will NOT work unless they are bound to your local IP.

1. Open the AlgoMesh application and navigate to the Profile tab.
2. Click the "Find my IP" button to instantly retrieve your public IP address.
3. In Binance API Management, select Restrict access to trusted IPs only.
4. Paste the IP address retrieved from the AlgoMesh app and save. Note: If your Internet Service Provider changes your IP address, your API key will stop working until you update this whitelist.

Linking in AlgoMesh

Open the AlgoMesh application, navigate to the Settings tab, and paste your API Key and Secret. Click Save. The application will securely encrypt them into your operating system's credential vault.
