Done: it keeps itself up to date
Your history comes in right away (OKX keeps ~3 months; Bybit, WhiteBIT and CoinW import ~6). After that it syncs every day, when you open the app, or whenever you press Sync now.

Each key becomes its own NovaTrade account, so a main and a sub-account never mix. Anything you wrote on a trade (notes, tags, rating) is kept on every sync.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about setup, plans and safety.
Which exchanges are supported?
Binance, Kraken, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Gate.io, Crypto.com, WhiteBIT, CoinW. Each one syncs with a read-only API key.
Can I connect several exchanges or sub-accounts?
Yes. Every key becomes its own NovaTrade account, so you can connect several exchanges, and several keys of the same exchange, side by side.
Is the crypto exchange sync free?
Yes. Connecting an exchange is included in every plan, Free too.
Can NovaTrade trade or withdraw on my exchange account?
No. NovaTrade only reads your history, and you create the key with read permission only, so it can't trade or withdraw even if someone tried. Your key is stored encrypted and you can delete it at any time.
Which pairs are imported?
Pairs quoted in USD or a USD stablecoin (USDT, USDC, FDUSD…), so every P&L is in the same unit. Pairs like ETH/BTC are skipped. Fees paid in another coin (for example BNB discounts) aren't added to the commission.
How does NovaTrade turn fills into trades?
Fills are grouped per pair from flat to flat at your average entry price, so a position you scaled in and out of becomes one trade with its real P&L. If you sell coins bought before the imported history, that sale appears with a $0 result because its buy price is unknown.
How often does it sync?
Every day in the background, when you open NovaTrade (if the last sync is more than 10 minutes old), and whenever you press Sync now.
