Topic: How to LINK or CONNECT your Binance account to tabtrader trading App (Read 278 times)

Thanks for the details but probably, I have been making use of tabtrader as well for 3 years when I first got the idea of trading. I welcome your advice. But in other words when the attacks was made it should be on their own low security level. And one thing I will advice as well is don't keep huge funds on Exchanger site. Never recommended.

I couldn't agree more. Sharing your API keys on several of these apps could hurt in the long run. Binance was hacked early on in 2019 (ref: https://www.coindesk.com/hackers-steal-40-7-million-in-bitcoin-from-crypto-exchange-binance)  How? Hackers were able to get their hands on users API keys and executed the attack.

I've connected my binance account to tabtrader in the past via my api keys and I didn't have any issues or noticed anything unusual with it. But I eventually stopped when I realized the risks associated with it. Today, I still use tabtrader but mainly to do technical analysis and check coins on my watch list, Afterwards, I use binance app to execute the trades.

As much as I would like to connect my api keys, the security of my funds is at the top of my priority list and wouldn't want anything to jeopardize it.

@OP, great post. Tabtrader is one of my favorite trading tools till date.

It is a mistake to share your API with many applications, it is not about privacy, but rather safety, some of these applications have the authority to conduct trading on your behalf, it is true that you will not lose money, but they will use your account to perform pumping and dumping shitcoins.

The pictures are still too large to read, I suggest you make the following code:

Generally, I only recommend this method to someone who knows how to deal with it.

(Use on your own risk, not recommended for newbies.)

Tabtrader is not a site, it's a app have been using to trade for years now, instead of visiting the Exchange sites or downloading their apps you can just do the trading and analysis right from tabtrader app. And I believe a warning has been given not to share you SECRET KEY CODE to anyone.

Actually sometimes I got confuse how the topic should be in the appropriate section. Like this one, its on the BH cause of the process or guide but the actual topic is precisely related to trader. If the thread will stays here then its fine.

I can see that OP managed to edit and adjust the images. Now its more nice to view and definitely will be helpful to anyone who wanted to tried this out. But Im scared to try it due to what DdmrDdmr said. Got a point!

Definitely in my case I won't say it should be moved to trading discussion section since it's guide on how to Link binance to tabtrader app. Which I believe it should be in this section where as to all those looking for help on how to go about it will gain knowledge from it. My keyword there is HELP

Thanks for you advice I guess we all learn every day I have probably fixed everything on the post
1. Image reduce (resized)
2. Ref link removed
 I so believe this will really help newbies. Once again I appreciate.

I think have clearly fix the images thanks for your help and as well 2af means Google authenticator calling it 2af is just the short form.

I’d be very careful sharing API codes with any site/app. One really needs to know exactly what and how the API allows the third-party site/app to access, with what limits, its trustworthiness, and assess whether the risk is worth it. Note that I can’t quite discern whether the API is granted read only mode access and/or spot&Margin trading (the image on step 4 has both ticked, but only one is in bold, whilst the other has the disabled kind of look).

Additionally, Referral links like the one you have in the OP, linking to Binance, are not allowed on this forum. Since you have put quite a bit of time into your post, I would promptly erase the referral link in order to avoid the OP from being deleted.
 

This is actually a great guide. I wonder why I did not do this to my account on Binance. But like tbct_mt2 said, you should resize the image cause the gigantic photos could really be annoying. Edit it as soon as you saw our response cause chance that your post might be reported is high. I do hope you do, cause this guide is actually helpful. Should this thread fits on trading discussion since its about setting up a trading interface.

Use code:
Just input the appropriate size so it would be fit.

I did not read your guide because your images are too large. It is one problem. Please resize your images then post again (that what you should do to reduce image size). Some people don't have good internet connection and will get troubles with your images. Or you can change width option but as said, should try the first way.

2AF, what is it?  

Greetings to mostly the newbies coming into the Crypto world (Crypto market) as a means to make some money while at home or in another way round no job's, people are been fired (sack off) from their current job due to the pandemic crisis in the world at large. God is in control over life. Amen 🙏

I don't know if this topic has been treated on Bitcointalk but I will still take this Medium or let's say an opportunity to bring it again.

Now for newbies who don't have a Binance account, you can possibly get one for your self by clicking HERE
Once your account is set and everything is complete as in you have set your GOOGLE AUTHENTICATOR (2AF) which is very necessary and you have you SECRET KEY and security question kept safe (everything that has to do with your login) This is for you not to regret later on in future for not keeping them safe and secured. To cut the long talking short Crypto has really changed the lives of many so get hold of it now.

Once all I said above is done proceed by getting your tabtrader on Google Play store let's continue Open any Browser you want to make use of.

Now am going to use images more than plenty of talking so as to quickly understand what am talking about while looking at the images.

1. Input your email and password which you used to open Binance Exchange Account and Click login




2. Once you have logged in your BINANCE Exchange Account with Any BROWSER the view of your account will be like the image below depending on the device you used to login for me am using my Smartphone device. Now Click on the Profile ICON just like you see it on the image circled on Green.



3. Once you click on the ICON A dialogue box Will appear by the right-hand side on the page.



Now click on API MANAGEMENT as circled on the image.

4. It will take you to a new page. Now on this page, you will see at the top CREATE API and below you will see API LIST.
The API list states down already created API that you might have a link on another sort of trading app.



Now on the image at the Red circle indicated click in the box and input the NAME of what you want to name your API don't mind me am breaking down the ENGLISH: enter key label for a better understanding that's why instead I just say NAME once you have inputted the name click on CREATE

5. Once you click on CREATE it will pop up a dialogue box where you will see SECURITY VERIFICATION on the first box where it's written e-mail verification code just click on SEND CODE which I circled on Red colour



Now in a few seconds or so you will receive an email in your inbox quickly get down there and copy the code as you see the image below



Once you have gotten the code from your email get back to your Binance account still on the security verification page and paste the code and also go to your 2AF APP and copy the code you set on your Binance trading Exchange Account and paste it at was it indicates Google verification code
Then you click on SUBMIT



6. Once you have clicked submit it will load up a New page. Which means Your API creation was successful now look below the API LIST you will see the newly created API with two kinds of strange codes written down in BOLD BLACK I crossed on RED color.



One is API KEY and the second is SECRET KEY. Those are the two keys we need to proceed with TABTRADER. Now open up your tabtrader app. On tabtrader you need a profile it's just a simple task creating a profile you just create a profile using your EMAIL.



It's on your choice to set a 2AF on your tabtrader or probably you just leave it. Now you created your profile let's proceed by adding the account to our tabtrader. Follow the image below. Click on the +  Account



7. To add an account, just like what you see in the image have already added my BINANCE EXCHANGE account already.
Now clicking on it, it will take you to the ADD ACCOUNT page where you will different types of Exchange platform to me am familiar with binance and bittrex Exchange but I believe every other Exchange is the same process linking them to tabtrader App.



8. Once you have selected BINANCE EXCHANGE among the list of others. A page will pop up, on the page is where you will paste the CODE. Yes, am talking about the API & THE SECRET KEY CODE. Paste it according to its name please don't mix it up it will not work.

Note: And please for security reasons DON'T SHARE YOUR SECRET KEY CODE to anyone or show it to anyone.



Now once you have pasted the CODES just click on the ticking ✔️ I circled on the image above.

9. Bravo, you have successfully Linked your Binance Exchange Account to TABTRADER APP.

10. Once everything is done just swap down to WATCHLIST and you will see some already tick pairs on the watchlist see image below.





11. Mind you, not all coin pairs will appear, but let me go further by sharing the steps on how to add them. Follow the image above for you to understand how to add a coin to WATCHLIST. On number 10 second image you will see I circled + Ticker click on it and follow the next image below

12. On the image below you will see a SERACH BOX and LIST OF EXCHANGE PLATFORM below in the search box it's either you search the name of the coin and it will bring out the pairing name Example if you search on ADA it will bring out its pairs e.g
ADA/ETH, ADA/BTC, ADA/BNB, ADA/USDT etc. Or you just click on the Exchanger platform that you linked on TABTRADER and go through the list of coins that the Exchanger has and each of



Then you tick on the pair you are using to trade either BTC, ETH, BNB or USDT see the image below.
