Tip: Use a password manager and a dedicated email for exchange accounts — it's the single easiest way to avoid account-takeover phishing.

Complete Identity Verification (KYC)

Registering alone doesn't unlock trading. You need identity verification before you can deposit meaningfully or trade Futures.

Note: Some higher-tier API permissions now require the "Verified Plus" identity level rather than basic verification. If your API Management page shows restrictions you can't clear, check whether your account needs the additional verification step.
3

Enable Your Futures Account — Before You Create an API Key

This step is easy to do out of order, and doing it out of order is the single most common setup mistake.

Do this before Part 4: if your API key already existed before you activated Futures (or if you have Portfolio Margin enabled), that key will never be able to get Futures permission — you'll have to delete it and create a fresh one. Enable Futures first, API key second.

Create Your API Key

Before you can create a key, Binance requires: 2FA enabled, at least a token deposit into your Spot wallet (to activate the account), and completed identity verification — all covered in Parts 1–2.

Set the Correct Permissions

A freshly created key defaults to Enable Reading only. To let JaviD Future Bot place orders — and nothing more than that — you need to edit the key and check exactly three boxes.

✅ Check exactly these three, nothing else:
  • Enable Reading (already on by default)
  • Enable Spot & Margin & Stock Trading
  • Enable Futures
❌ Leave every other box unchecked: Enable Margin Loan, Repay & Transfer · Permits Universal Transfer · Enable Withdrawals · Enable Prediction Trading · Enable Symbol Whitelist.

None of these are needed for JaviD Future Bot to trade. Leaving them off means that even in a worst-case scenario where your API key was ever exposed, no one could move funds off the exchange, transfer between wallets, or touch anything beyond placing and managing futures trades — your assets stay yours.

Copy your Secret Key now: it is shown exactly once. If you navigate away without saving it, you'll need to delete the key and generate a new one.

Keep It Running 24/7

JaviD Future Bot only trades while it's actually running — Binance's futures market never closes, so the machine running the bot needs to stay powered on and connected 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Your everyday laptop works for a first test, but most users move to one of these two setups once they go live:

Either option works equally well. The only requirements are: the machine stays powered on, stays connected to the internet, and (per Part 5) has its IP address whitelisted on your Binance API key. If you move the bot to a new machine or your IP changes, just update the IP restriction on the key.
Reminder: if the machine restarts or loses power while a position is open, close that position manually from the Binance app under Futures before restarting the bot — see the User Manual for details.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

SymptomCause / Fix
HTTP 451 errorBinance blocks Futures API access from some regions, including Korean IPs. Run the bot from an overseas VPS or through a VPN.
-2015 error on Test ConnectionYour IP restriction hasn't propagated yet, or you entered the wrong IP. Wait 5–10 minutes and re-check the address.
-1022 Signature errorAlmost always a Secret Key copy/paste issue — re-copy it, watching for hidden line breaks or spaces.
-1021 Timestamp errorYour PC's clock has drifted. Turn on automatic time sync in Windows settings.
Can't enable Futures permission on the keyThe key was created before your Futures account was activated (see Part 3). Delete it and create a new one, in the right order.
Can't enable any permission beyond ReadYou skipped the IP restriction step in Part 5 — it's mandatory for any non-read permission.
