--- title: "Connect an exchange" canonical: https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect --- # Connect an exchange Flicker reads your positions with a read-only key and shows the exit on each one. It never places orders. ## What connecting shows you - **The exit on every position** — Liquidation with its distance from mark, and the stop and target where your exchange shares them. - **What you'd lose if every stop fills** — One figure across your accounts, from entry, as a share of portfolio value. - **Your record and a weekly review** — Closed trades as a record, in R where the stop at entry was read, and a review of each week. Free for up to 4 exchange accounts; every portfolio feature is included. ## Supported exchanges 8 exchanges, most used first. Each one syncs positions, balances and order history. ### [Binance](https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/binance) - Connect with: Key and secret - Synced: Positions, balances and order history - Stops and targets: Not read yet - Setup: 6 steps - Markdown: https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/binance.md ### [Hyperliquid](https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/hyperliquid) - Connect with: Wallet address - Synced: Positions, balances and order history - Stops and targets: Read - Setup: 3 steps - Markdown: https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/hyperliquid.md ### [OKX](https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/okx) - Connect with: Key, secret and passphrase - Synced: Positions, balances and order history - Stops and targets: Read - Setup: 7 steps - Markdown: https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/okx.md ### [Bybit](https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/bybit) - Connect with: Key and secret - Synced: Positions, balances and order history - Stops and targets: Not read yet - Setup: 6 steps - Markdown: https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/bybit.md ### [BingX](https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/bingx) - Connect with: Key and secret - Synced: Positions, balances and order history - Stops and targets: Not read yet - Setup: 6 steps - Markdown: https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/bingx.md ### [BloFin](https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/blofin) - Connect with: Key, secret and passphrase - Synced: Positions, balances and order history - Stops and targets: Read - Setup: 7 steps - Markdown: https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/blofin.md ### [Gate](https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/gate) - Connect with: Key and secret - Synced: Positions, balances and order history - Stops and targets: Not read yet - Setup: 6 steps - Markdown: https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/gate.md ### [Kraken](https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/kraken) - Connect with: Key and secret, plus an optional futures key - Synced: Positions, balances and order history - Stops and targets: Not read yet - Setup: 7 steps - Markdown: https://flicker.finance/portfolio/connect/kraken.md ## Read-only, by design What a read-only key allows, and what Flicker does with it. - **The key can only read** — Create it with read access and nothing else. Where the exchange reports a key's permissions, Flicker refuses one that can trade or withdraw. - **Flicker never trades** — It reads positions, balances and orders. It never places an order or moves funds from your account. - **Limited to Flicker's address** — Restrict the key to Flicker's IP address, so the exchange refuses it from anywhere else. `18.153.160.58` - **Remove it any time** — Removing an account deletes its key and everything synced from it: positions, balances, order history and the record built from them. ## How it works Three steps, the same on every exchange. 1. **Make a read-only key** — Step by step for each exchange. 2. **Paste it** — Flicker checks what the key can do where the exchange reports it, and refuses one that can trade or withdraw. 3. **See every exit** — Stop, target, liquidation, or no stop, on each position. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is it safe to connect an exchange? Flicker asks for a read-only key, only reads with it, and never places orders or moves funds. Where your exchange reports a key's permissions, Flicker refuses one that can trade or withdraw. A read key still shows your balances to anyone who holds it, so keep it private and restrict it to Flicker's IP address. ### What does Flicker read? Your open positions, balances and order history. On Hyperliquid, OKX, and BloFin, it also reads the stop and target orders resting on each position; the other exchanges don't share them with Flicker yet. ### How long does it take? Each exchange's guide lists its steps: make a read-only key, then paste it here. Positions and balances are read while you connect; order history loads in the background and can take a few minutes. After that, Flicker syncs on each visit and once a day. ### What does it cost? Nothing for up to 4 exchange accounts, with every portfolio feature included and no card needed. Pro connects more. ### Which exchanges can I connect? 8 exchanges today: Binance, Hyperliquid, OKX, Bybit, BingX, BloFin, Gate, and Kraken. Each one has its own step-by-step guide. ### My exchange isn't listed. What can I do? Use “Request an exchange” on this page and name the exchange you trade on. Exchange not listed?
