By TradesViz in Auto Import Trades

In this post, we will explore how to pair your TradesViz account with Bitstamp.

This post assumes that you have read the basics about auto importing in TradesViz.

Once you select your trading account and broker as "Bitstamp" in the trade auto-import page, a popup box will appear when you click on the "Connect account" button.

 


The purpose of this blog post is to guide you to get this API code from the Bitstamp website. Here are the steps you need to follow:

  1. Log into your Bitstamp account
  2. Click "Account" 
  3. Navigate to Security > "API Access" > "New API key"
  4. Make sure to check the following Permissions options are enabled: 
    1. Account balance
    2. User transactions
    3. Orders > Open order, Cancel Order, Buy limit/market orders, sell limit/market orders
  5. Click "Enter 2FA & Submit" at the bottom
  6. After the above step, you will be will see your API key and API key secret. Make sure to click on "Activate" on the API key list page.
  7. Enter the API key and the API secret key in the TradesViz connection page where you see the box above and click "Connect"

Note: This connection only gives us READ-ONLY permission to your account to access your orders/trades. We do not have any other permissions. We do NOT have any trading/transfer of coins/assets permissions. 

That's it! At the moment, we only support <crypto>USD/CURRENCY-type transactions. We are working towards more crypto integrations and supporting the full crypto environment.

You will now be able to enter trades like BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, etc., in your TradesViz.com account and it will be tagged as Cryptocurrency and you will also be able to see charts for it. 

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about the Bitstamp auto-sync integration and also about our general Crypto asset type addition to TradesViz!
