Creating the key
- Open API management at the exchange and create a new key dedicated to PipSync. Never reuse one another bot already holds.
- Permissions: reading and spot/futures trading on. Withdrawals off. Internal transfer off.
- Restrict by IP if the exchange offers it — the connection screen shows the address to allowlist.
- Paste key and secret into Trading Accounts → Add Account → Binance or Bybit. The exchange shows the secret exactly once.
A key with withdrawal rights is the single most expensive mistake in crypto automation. Verify the permission list at the exchange before you save it here.
Sizing and markets
- Sizing respects the exchange's step size and minimum notional. A signal below the minimum is rejected, not rounded up.
- Leverage and margin mode stay as you configured them at the exchange. PipSync does not change them.
- Funding fees on perpetuals appear in your exchange statement, not in PipSync's fee view.
Symbol mapping
Signals say BTC; the exchange wants BTCUSDT, and the perpetual is a different market from spot. Map the names on the channel so a signal cannot land on the wrong market.
