Getting API keys

To connect to the exchange Binance from a third-party application (in our case, from the terminal MetaTrader 5), you must create an API-key.

To do this:

1. Sign up for Binance if you haven’t already.
   Use my referral link to get a 10% discount on commissions:

   accounts.binance.com/ru/register?ref=22850273

   Or just insert 22850273 in the ‘Referral ID’ field during registration:
   

2. Go to your personal area at https://www.binance.com/
3. Activate two-factor authentication (2FA) if it is not active.
4. Verify your account if you haven’t done it before.
5. If you haven’t traded futures on Binance before, go to USD-M Futures and activate trading:
   
6. Go to the “API Management” section:
   
7. Enter a name for the key that you understand and click “API created”:
   
8. Pass the security check with registered 2FA devices:
   
9. Save the API Key and Secret Key to a safe place. If you forget your Secret Key, you will need to delete the current API connection and create a new one:
   
10. Click “Edit Restrictions”, and select the features you plan to use:
    
11. Save the changes.

Do not tell anyone your API-key to avoid losing money!

Multi-asset mode

If you are going to trade BUSD pairs (with a lower commission), and you want to use both currencies (USDT and BUSD) as margin, once again go to the futures trading section and enable multi-asset mode:

Congratulations! The Binance account configuration is now complete!
