    Done: it keeps itself up to date

    The last ~3 months come in right away, the most OKX's API keeps. After that it syncs every day, when you open the app, or whenever you press Sync now.

    Syncs on its ownSync 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.

You add

  • Setup and mistake tags
  • Mindset and a 1–5 rating
  • Notes and screenshots

Also included

  • Read-only by design

    NovaTrade only calls read endpoints, and your key is encrypted at rest. Delete it and syncing stops; your trades stay.

  • Stats on the spot

    Win rate, profit factor, expectancy, drawdown and a P&L calendar for every account.

  • Stablecoin deposits and withdrawals

    USD and stablecoin deposits and withdrawals come in too, so returns and the equity curve add up.

  • With your other platforms

    Your crypto accounts sit next to MT4, MT5 and cTrader accounts, and can be grouped in a portfolio.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about setup, plans and safety.

Why only 3 months of OKX history?

OKX's API only returns about three months of fills. Connect early and NovaTrade keeps everything from then on, even after OKX drops it.

What's the passphrase?

A password you set when creating the API key on OKX. It's not your login password. NovaTrade stores it encrypted with the key.

Is the OKX sync free?

Yes. Connecting OKX is included in every plan, Free too.

Can NovaTrade trade or withdraw on my OKX 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.
