Connect an exchange

Web · iOS · Android

An exchange connection lets Recalibr8 read balances and place or cancel trades on your behalf. Your funds remain in your exchange account.

Never enable withdrawals

Recalibr8 does not need withdrawal or transfer permission. Create a dedicated API key with only the read/account and trading permissions required by your strategies.

Before you connect

• Secure the exchange account with its own two-factor authentication.
• Complete any identity verification required by the exchange.
• Create a new API key exclusively for Recalibr8. Do not reuse a key from another app.
• Record the secret when the exchange displays it; many exchanges show it only once.
• Open the exchange-specific guide above before choosing permissions.

Connect in Recalibr8

Web

1. Sign in and open Settings.
2. In API Connections, select Connect Exchange or Add.
3. Choose Binance, Bybit, MEXC, or Bitget.
4. Enter the API key and API secret generated by the exchange.
5. If the secure connection dialog says an IP allowlist is required, copy the addresses shown there into the exchange’s API-key allowlist. The public docs intentionally do not publish these addresses.
6. Select Save Access. Recalibr8 verifies the credentials by requesting the exchange balance.

iOS

1. Open Settings → Exchange Connections.
2. Select the exchange and choose Connect.
3. Enter the API key and API secret.
4. Follow the in-app IP-allowlist instructions if required. Use only the addresses displayed inside your authenticated connection flow.
5. Select Save & Connect and wait for the health check.

Android

1. Open Settings, then select the exchange you want to add.
2. Choose Connect and enter the API key and API secret.
3. Add the in-app outbound addresses to the exchange key’s allowlist if the connection screen requires it.
4. Select Save & Connect. Recalibr8 tests the connection and loads its balance.

How connection verification works

Recalibr8 makes an authenticated balance request. A successful check confirms that the key, secret, permissions, and any IP restriction are compatible. It does not place a trade during connection setup.

If connection fails

Message or symptom	What to check
Invalid key or signature	Copy the key and secret again without extra spaces. Recreate the key if the secret is no longer visible.
Permission denied	Enable account/read and trading permission for the markets you intend to use. Keep withdrawals disabled.
IP not allowed	Add every address shown in the authenticated Recalibr8 connection dialog to the exchange key’s allowlist.
Geographic restriction	Confirm that both the exchange account and the relevant API products are available in your jurisdiction.
Empty balance	Confirm that funds are in the wallet/account type accessible to the API key.

Note

Exchange menus and policies change. The exchange-specific pages link directly to official documentation and API management so you can verify the latest wording before saving a key.
