Futures trades
USDT-M trades with commissions arrive in the journal and analytics on their own; open positions show on the account page.
How to connect HTX
HTX connects with a read-only API key: create a key in «API Management» and paste the Access Key and Secret Key in the Davinchu dashboard. USDT-M futures trades arrive in the journal on their own, and the spot balance goes to the «Investments» portfolio.
What it does
What connecting HTX gives you
Spot in the portfolio
The spot wallet balance is in «Investments» next to other exchanges and stocks.
Read only
Keys that can withdraw are not accepted; Davinchu trades nothing on the exchange.
How it works
Get started in four steps
Create a key
HTX: «Account» → «API Management» → «Create API Key», read only.
Choose the market
Davinchu: «Accounts» → «Crypto» → HTX → «Futures» or «Spot».
Paste the key
Access Key into «API Key», Secret Key into «API Secret» → «Connect».
Trade
New futures trades appear in the journal on their own.
1. Create a key on HTX
- The «Account» icon → «API Management» → «Create API Key».
- Fill in the «Note» — for example, Davinchu — and tick only the read permission. Leave trading and withdrawals off; the IP address is optional.
- Click «Create» and confirm with the codes from SMS, email and Google Authenticator.
- Save the Access Key and the Secret Key — the secret key is shown once.
For futures HTX needs an open USDT-M cross-margin contracts account in the standard mode. The exchange disables a key without an IP binding after 90 days — then set a new one with «Update key».
2. Connect the account in Davinchu
- In the dashboard open «Accounts» → the «Crypto» tab → «+ Connect account». In the «Connect a crypto exchange» window pick HTX.
- Choose the market: «Futures» (preselected) or «Spot». These are separate HTX wallets — if you use both, connect both accounts.
- Paste the Access Key into «API Key» and the Secret Key into «API Secret», optionally set a «Name» and click «Connect».
The dashboard checks the key on the exchange and reads its permissions: a key that can withdraw is not accepted, a key that can trade is connected with a reminder to replace it with a read-only one.
3. What arrives in Davinchu
- USDT-M futures — balance, open positions and trades with commissions from the moment you connect: they feed the journal and account analytics.
- Spot — the spot wallet balance in USDT: on the «Accounts» page and in the «Investments» portfolio next to other exchanges and stocks.
The exchange is polled every few seconds. If the balances did not appear in the portfolio on their own, click «Sync» next to the account in the portfolio's «Data sources» — after that it refreshes every 15 minutes. If HTX stops sending data or rejects the key, «Account connection lost» arrives after about 10 minutes.
After connecting
Account «Settings» → the «Connection» tab: the key's permissions (read, trading, withdrawals and validity), «Check API», «Update key» — a new key of the same exchange account (history and account settings stay), «Revoke key» and «Disconnect account».
If something goes wrong
| Dashboard message | What to do |
|---|---|
| «HTX rejected the API key…» | Check that the Access Key and Secret Key were copied in full, or create a new key. |
| «The key has no access to the selected market…» | For futures open a USDT-M cross-margin contracts account on HTX; read permission is enough. |
| «HTX returned no USDT cross-margin account…» | The contracts account was switched to Unified — switch it back to non-unified and try again. |
| «The key is bound to other IP addresses…» | Create a key without an IP binding. |
| «The HTX key has expired…» | Create a new key and set it with «Update key». |
| «This key allows withdrawals…» | Create a key with read permission only. |
Plan
Every account takes a slot in the plan limit: Free — 2, Plus — 5, Pro — 15, Elite — 50; an extra account is $2 a month on any plan. Spot and futures are two slots. See pricing.
FAQ
Questions and answers
Which permissions does the key need?
Read only. A key that can withdraw is not accepted; one that can trade is connected with a reminder to replace it with a read-only key.
Will my old history arrive?
USDT-M futures trades arrive from the moment you connect. Connect right away — from then on the journal fills up on its own.
Why does the dashboard say there is no cross-margin account?
Futures need a USDT-M cross-margin contracts account in the standard mode. If the contracts account was switched to Unified, switch it back to non-unified and connect again.
The key expires in 90 days — what then?
Create a new key on HTX and set it in account «Settings» → «Connection» → «Update key». History and account settings stay.
