Getting Started with LiquidationProof

Follow this step-by-step guide to connect your Binance Futures account to LiquidationProof. The whole process takes around 10 minutes. You'll create a dedicated Binance sub-account, transfer the funds you want to trade with, generate a trading-only API key, and plug everything into your LiquidationProof account — then the bot takes it from there.

Video walkthrough coming soon — follow the written guide below
Part 1 of 4

Create a Binance Sub-Account

A sub-account keeps your LiquidationProof trading funds completely separate from your main Binance wallet. This is the safest and most organised way to run the bot. You only need to do this once.

Important: LiquidationProof works exclusively with Binance International (binance.com). It is not compatible with Binance.US or any other exchange.
1

Log in to your main Binance account

Go to binance.com and sign in to your existing account. If you don't have one yet, create one first — you'll need KYC verification before you can trade futures.

2

Open Sub-Account Management

Click your profile icon in the top-right corner. From the dropdown, select Sub-Account. Then click Create Sub Account.

3

Enter a sub-account email

Binance requires a unique email address for each sub-account. Use a dedicated email you control (e.g. yourname+lp@gmail.com if your provider supports plus-addressing). Enter the email and complete any verification prompts.

4

Enable Futures trading on the sub-account

Inside Sub-Account Management, find your new sub-account and click Enable Futures. Accept the futures trading agreement. This activates the USDⓈ-M Futures wallet your bot will use.

Part 2 of 4

Transfer Funds to Your Sub-Account Futures Wallet

Move only the amount you intend to trade with. Your main account funds are never touched by the bot.

1

Go to Wallet → Futures

On your main account, navigate to Wallet in the top menu, then select Futures. Alternatively, open the Futures trading interface and click Transfer next to your balance.

2

Select Internal Transfer → Sub-Account

Choose Internal Transfer from the transfer options. Set the destination to your newly created sub-account email and make sure the wallet type is set to USDⓈ-M Futures.

3

Enter the amount in USDT and confirm

Type in the USDT amount you want to allocate for bot trading. Double-check everything, then click Confirm and complete any 2FA verification. The funds should appear in the sub-account futures wallet instantly.

Tip: Only transfer what you're comfortable trading with. You can always top up the sub-account later. The bot will only act on the positions open in this specific account.
Part 3 of 4

Generate Your Binance API Key

You'll generate the API key while logged in as your sub-account. This ensures the key only has access to the sub-account's funds and not your main account.

⚠ Critical — read this before continuing: When creating the API key, you must enable trading permissions only. Never enable Enable Withdrawals. LiquidationProof only needs trading access. Withdrawal permissions are not required and should never be granted to any third-party service.
1

Log in to the sub-account

Sign out of your main Binance account and sign in using the sub-account email and password you created in Part 1.

2

Open API Management

Click your profile icon → API Management. Then click Create API. Choose System generated when prompted for the key type.

3

Name the API key

Give it a recognisable label, e.g. LiquidationProof Bot. Complete any 2FA verification to proceed.

4

Set permissions — Enable Futures Trading only

In the permissions panel you will see checkboxes. Enable Enable Futures. That is the only permission you need.

Make absolutely sure Enable Withdrawals is OFF and Enable Spot & Margin Trading is OFF (unless you specifically want spot access). Do not enable anything related to withdrawals or transfers.

5

Restrict API access to our IP address

Under IP Access Restrictions, select Restrict access to trusted IPs only (Recommended). Click Add IP and enter the LiquidationProof server IP:

185.61.159.53 (click to copy)

This ensures the API key can only be used from our server — no one else can use it even if they somehow obtained it.

6

Save and copy your API Key & Secret

Click Confirm and complete verification. Binance will display your API Key and Secret Key. Copy both immediately and store them securely — the Secret Key is only shown once and cannot be retrieved again.

If you lose the Secret Key, you'll need to delete this API key and generate a new one.

⚠ Never share your API Secret with anyone. LiquidationProof stores it encrypted using AES-256 encryption and it is never transmitted or logged in plain text. If you ever feel your key has been compromised, delete it on Binance immediately — this instantly cuts off all bot access to your account.

Add Your Credentials to LiquidationProof

With your API key ready, the final step is entering it into your LiquidationProof account along with your Telegram bot details so you can receive real-time trade notifications.

1

Log in to app.liquidationproof.com

Visit app.liquidationproof.com and sign in to your account. If you haven't created an account yet, click Create Account and subscribe first — API settings require an active subscription.

2

Open Settings

Click the ⚙ Settings button in the top-right corner of the dashboard.

3

Enter your Binance API Key and Secret

Paste your API Key into the Binance API Key field and your Secret Key into the Binance API Secret field. These are stored encrypted — they cannot be read back out of the platform.

4

Set up your Telegram bot (optional but recommended)

To receive instant trade notifications, you need a personal Telegram bot. Open Telegram, search for @BotFather, send /newbot, follow the prompts, and copy the Bot Token it gives you.

To get your Chat ID, start a chat with your new bot (send it any message), then visit:
https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_TOKEN>/getUpdates
and look for the id value inside the chat object.

Paste both into the Telegram Bot Token and Telegram Chat ID fields in Settings.

5

Configure your bot risk settings

Set your Loss Threshold % — the percentage drawdown on a position that triggers a partial sell. Set your Sell Percentage — how much of the position to sell when the threshold is hit. Set your Scale-In Amount to enable automatic position averaging as price moves against you.

Start conservative — you can always adjust these settings while the bot is running.

6

Save Settings and activate the bot

Click Save Settings. Then on the dashboard, toggle the bot to ON. The bot will immediately begin monitoring your open Binance Futures positions and respond according to your configured rules.

✓ You're all set! The bot runs 24/7 on our servers. You can close the browser, turn off your computer — it will keep monitoring and protecting your positions in real time. You'll receive a Telegram notification for every action it takes.
