How to Auto-Sync BitMEX with TradesViz Step-by-Step Guide

Quick Start

To auto-sync your BitMEX account, visit https://tradesviz.com/import/.
Use the first dropdown to choose your trading account, the second dropdown to choose BitMEX,
then switch to the Auto-Sync tab and follow the steps below.

You can also open Import/Export from your profile menu in the top-right corner.

Auto-Sync Setup Instructions

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

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

Once you select your trading account and broker as "BitMEX" 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 in establishing a BitMEX connection on TradesViz.

Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Log into BitMEX and open the BitMEX API key management page.
2. Create a new API key and label it TradesViz so it is easy to identify later.
3. Keep the key read-only. TradesViz only needs access to your execution/trade history. Do not enable order placement, withdrawal, or transfer permissions.
4. Copy the API key and API secret when BitMEX displays them. The secret may only be shown once.
5. In TradesViz, go to the Import page, open the Add auto-sync connection tab, select your trading account, and choose BitMEX as the broker.
6. Enter your BitMEX API key and secret key in the connection popup.
7. Select the sync-from date if you want TradesViz to start from a specific date, then click Connect.

Once connected, you can click on sync in the connections list to fetch available BitMEX execution history. All our syncs run automatically, and you are also able to manually trigger the sync at any time.

Note: This connection only requires read access to your BitMEX execution history. We do not request trading, withdrawal, or transfer permissions.

That's it! Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about the BitMEX auto-sync integration by sending us an email at support@tradesviz.com.

Important Notes About Auto-Sync

• Auto-sync only brings in recent / new trades going forward. For older history, first do a one-time

manual file import from the Upload File tab, then enable auto-sync.

• TradesViz uses read-only access wherever the broker supports it. We never request trading,

transfer, or withdrawal permissions.

• Some brokers (OAuth-based) expire connections periodically and require you to reconnect.

Troubleshooting

• If the connection fails, double-check API keys / OAuth login and that required permissions are granted.
• Make sure the trading account in TradesViz matches the asset class (stocks vs. futures vs. crypto).
• If sync stops bringing in new trades, reconnect the broker from the Auto-Sync connections page.

Need Help?

Email support@tradesviz.com with your broker, the trading account name in
TradesViz, and a screenshot of the error.

If your broker is not yet supported for auto-sync, see our
supported brokers list or contact support to request it.

FAQ

Why are old trades missing after I connected auto-sync?

Auto-sync only fetches recent history. Import a historical CSV/Excel file first from the Upload File
tab, then enable auto-sync for new trades going forward.

How often does auto-sync run?

Connections are synced automatically on a recurring schedule (typically daily). You can also trigger a
manual sync from the Auto-Sync connections page.

Is auto-sync safe? Can TradesViz trade on my account?

No. TradesViz requests read-only access whenever the broker supports it. We do not place trades or move
funds. For OAuth-based brokers, the consent screen will show exactly which scopes are granted.
