How often do trades sync?

Every hour. On connect, Flowsense pulls the history shown on the card (usually the last 90 days), and you can press Sync now on the connection any time.

Which plan do I need?

Free includes one exchange connection, synced every 6 hours. Pro and Elite connect every exchange and sync every hour. CSV and screenshot import work on every plan.

Flowsense says my key can trade. What now?

Edit the key on Binance and untick every permission except Enable Reading, or create a new one. Flowsense only accepts read-only keys for sync.

Does it import spot or coin-margined trades?

Sync covers USDⓈ-M futures. For other history, use CSV import.

Flowsense reads your Binance futures history with an API key that has reading only. It checks the key's permissions when you connect and refuses keys that can trade or withdraw.

1On Binance, open Profile → API Management → Create API and choose System generated.
2Name it (e.g. Flowsense read-only) and complete the security check.
3Leave only “Enable Reading” ticked. Do not enable futures trading, spot/margin trading or withdrawals.
4Copy the API key and the secret key (the secret is shown once).
5Optional but safer: under Edit restrictions, choose Restrict access to trusted IPs only and add the IP addresses shown in Flowsense's connect dialog (each has a copy button).
6In Flowsense, go to Integrations, choose Binance, pick the account to sync into and paste both values.
7Press Connect. The last 90 days of USDⓈ-M futures trades are imported, then new trades sync hourly.

Fills are paired into round-trip trades and fees are netted, so each trade shows its real result.

Want to place orders from the Trade Desk? Turn on trading on this connection. Until you do, the key only reads.
