API connected TRADES received NOTHING in web order history [TESTNET]

a_naitsirk · January 15, 2025, 11:40pm

So here is the problem I am facing.
Using python binance-futures-connector I am trying to integrate my custom trading bot into binance.
Currently as I will be testing it first, I am connecting to testnet.binancefuture.com
While testing i managed to post orders, but never seen ANYTHING on the web view in testnet.binancefuture.com:

Notice order history is empty in the screenshot
Notice the order history from my code below:

...

cm_futures_client = CMFutures(key='***', secret='***', base_url='https://testnet.binancefuture.com')

...

What is really bothering me is that 1:
API key matches 100%. It works and connects.
I managed to post 2 orders yesterday, but in the webview my margin is still the initial since I opened the account - 15000$ Testnet
When I try to post another order right now, through my code, I always get “Insufficient margin” error.
THE API KEY IS THE CORRECT ONE.
I am not sure if I’m doing something wrong or binance simply does not show bot trades in the normal history… (at least on testnet?)
Somebody who’s been around and found out, please help me

Hey,
As the two orders have been canceled, it is normal that nothing happened.
Since you’re trying to sell BTCUSD_PERP in your order and haven’t provided the account’s balance for BTCUSD_PERP, does the account actually hold any BTCUSD_PERP?

a_naitsirk · January 16, 2025, 1:44am

The account has the initial usdt balance that it is given = 15 000 USDT

albin · January 16, 2025, 5:04am

USDT and BTCUSD_PERP are two different things.

a_naitsirk · January 16, 2025, 11:07pm

But whre can I see the history of orders I’ve made in the Binancefutures testnet UI?

And how am I supposed to do a (test) trade ?

I thought I was over the valley of dispair:

(going to be about a year coding these trading strategies, finally got something in late november that in another better testnet that reflects real prices better than binance, and is working nonstop with consistent profits for like over a month now)

So yeah, I know that technicalities matter, there is difference between USDT and BTCUSD_PERP but where can I access in the UI the trades I am trying to do with my bot?

Taking the opportunity, I will go straight to the point:
Is USDT to * conversion automatic? If not, my main future trading pairs are going to be BTC/USDT , SOL/USDT and ETH/USDT, which would these be in the UI and what string would correspond to them for the bot?

albin · January 17, 2025, 9:44am

Here are some answers to your questions:

To see the trades on the UI, it works the same way as on the production side. You can check this page: How to View My Trading Activity | How to use Binance Futures,Binance Futures,View trading activity
To test trades, you can do them either through the UI or the API.

Regarding the last question, what do you mean by Is USDT to * conversion automatic?
This article may help explain Perpetual Futures.

Thanks for the patiance, though it was not what I was asking… let me try to word it another way:
For example, let’s say I want to post a SHORT trade on BTCUSDT on testnet - 101150.9 | BTCUSDT USDⓈ-Margined Perpetual Chart | Binance Futures
THROUGH the api.
And I want to see it both in the UI and on my terminal where the bot is running.
What should I fill in my order code?


# Post a new order
params = {
    'symbol': 'SOLUSD_250627',
    'side': 'SELL',
    'type': 'LIMIT',
    'timeInForce': 'GTC',
    'quantity': 1,
    'price': 194.6
}

response = cm_futures_client.new_order(**params)
