Connect your Binance account
About 10 minutes. You create an API key at Binance that may trade futures but never withdraw, lock it to our server's fixed IP addresses, and paste it into Dubgio. The money always stays in your own Binance account.
Before you start: you need a verified Binance account and the Binance app or binance.com on a computer. The names of menus at Binance can differ slightly between the app and the website.
On Binance
- Open a USDⓈ-M Futures account Go to Derivatives → USDⓈ-M Futures and follow the steps to open the futures account (Binance asks a few questions the first time).
- Move USDT to the futures account Go to Assets → Transfer and move the amount the bots may use from Spot to USDⓈ-M Futures. You can set an even lower limit in Dubgio later.
- Use one-way position mode In USDⓈ-M Futures, open the settings (the gear icon) → Position Mode → choose One-way Mode.
- Create the API key Go to Profile → Account → API Management → Create API, choose System generated, name it Dubgio and confirm with your security verification.
- Restrict the key to our server
Under IP access restrictions, choose Restrict access to trusted IPs only and add these 2 addresses (add each of them):
52.29.67.17052.29.96.40Binance only allows trading on keys that are locked to fixed IP addresses. A copied key is then useless anywhere else.
- Set the permissions
Click Edit restrictions and set exactly this:
- On: Enable Reading
- On: Enable Futures
- Off: Enable Withdrawals
- Off: Enable Spot & Margin Trading, Enable Margin Loan, Permits Universal Transfer and all other options
- Copy the two keys Copy the API Key and the Secret Key. Binance shows the Secret Key only once: if you lose it, delete the key and create a new one.
In Dubgio
- Paste the keys Open Dubgio → Settings (the gear icon) → Exchange → choose Binance, paste the API Key and the Secret Key and tap Connect.
- Check the result Dubgio asks Binance about the key and shows your futures balance and the permissions. Fix anything shown in red at Binance and tap Check again.
- Choose bots and set your limits Under Bots on your exchange and Limits: the maximum amount the bots may trade with, max per trade, max loss per day, max open trades and max leverage. Emergency stop pauses everything with one tap.
- Turn on live trading Under Live trading, tick I understand the risk and tap Turn on live trading. From then on, the bots send real orders to your account when they open new trades. Stop and target are placed at Binance right away, so they work even if the app is down.
Preview mode until you turn it on. When you connect, the bots do not send orders yet. Under Settings → Exchange you see which trades they would have made on your account with your balance and your limits. Turn on live trading when you are ready, and turn it off again at any time. Close all trades now closes everything with one tap.
Is my money safe?
- The key may trade futures, but it can never withdraw or move money. Your funds stay in your own Binance account.
- The key is locked to Dubgio's fixed server addresses, so a copied key is useless anywhere else.
- Every trade gets its stop at Binance immediately. If the stop cannot be placed, the trade is closed again at once.
- Dubgio stores the key encrypted and never shows the Secret Key again.
- You can remove the key in Dubgio (Remove key) or delete it at Binance at any time. Deleting it at Binance stops everything immediately.
If something goes wrong
- "Binance rejected the key": a character is missing in the copied keys, the key was deleted, or one of our server's IP addresses is missing on the key (step 5). Check steps 5–7.
- "Futures is not enabled on the key": edit the key at Binance and tick Enable Futures (step 6). If Binance does not allow it, create a new key after opening the futures account.
- "Withdrawals are enabled on the key": edit the key at Binance and turn off Enable Withdrawals. Dubgio does not use a key that can withdraw.
- "Hedge mode": switch to One-way Mode (step 3).
- "No USDT in the futures account": move USDT from Spot to USDⓈ-M Futures (step 2).
Trading crypto futures with leverage carries a high risk of loss. Past results are no guarantee of future results. Read the terms.
