Then, go to the Import/Export page on TradesViz, select the Auto-sync tab, choose BYDFi as your broker, enter your API Key and Secret Key, and click Connect. TradesViz will then automatically sync your futures trades.

What permissions should I enable when creating a BYDFi API key for TradesViz?

When creating your BYDFi API key for use with the TradesViz **trade tracker**, you should enable only **Read** and **Contract Trading** permissions. Do NOT enable Transfer or Withdrawal permissions. This ensures your connection is read-only and secure—TradesViz only needs access to view your orders and trades.

Can I import BYDFi spot trades into TradesViz?

Is there a CSV export option for BYDFi trades?

How far back can TradesViz fetch my BYDFi trade history?

The BYDFi API allows TradesViz to fetch up to **6 months** of trade history. When setting up the auto-sync in your TradesViz **online trading journal**, you can optionally set a 'Sync from date' to control how far back the data is pulled. If you need trades older than 6 months, you should contact BYDFi support directly for a data export.

Is it safe to connect my BYDFi account to TradesViz via API?

Yes, the connection is designed to be secure. TradesViz only requires **read-only** access to your BYDFi account to retrieve your orders and trades. The **trade tracker** does not have any trading, transfer, or withdrawal permissions. You are also advised not to enable Transfer or Withdrawal permissions on the API key you create.

How often does TradesViz sync my BYDFi trades?

Once connected, the TradesViz **trading journal** automatically syncs your BYDFi futures trades once per day. Additionally, you can manually trigger a sync at any time from your connections list if you want your **trading log** updated immediately.
