Connect your OKX account to Synemer
Set up a read-only OKX API key and link your account to Synemer so your closed USDT-margined futures trades sync automatically.

What this connection does
Synemer connects to OKX using a read-only API key, secret, and passphrase. The journal imports your closed USDT-margined perpetual futures trades without ever being able to place orders or withdraw funds.
Your API credentials are encrypted and only used to read historical trade data.
Before you start
Make sure you have an OKX account with two-factor authentication enabled.
You will need access to your Synemer account settings, where connections are managed.
Create a read-only API key in OKX
Log in to OKX and go to API Management. Create a new API key and give it a clear name such as Synemer Read Only.
Enable read access for trade history and account data. Do not enable trading or withdrawal permissions.
Copy the API key, secret, and passphrase. You will need all three. Store them somewhere safe while you complete the next steps.
Add the connection in Synemer
In Synemer, go to Settings and then Connections. Choose OKX as the broker.
Paste the API key, secret, and passphrase, then save the connection. The first sync walks back through your futures history and then keeps itself up to date.
What syncs automatically
Synemer brings in your closed USDT-margined futures trades, including fees, plus your current open positions.
OKX serves the last 3 months of fill history through its API, so the sync covers that window. Trades older than 3 months are not available to import.
Troubleshooting
If nothing imports, check that the API key has read permissions, that the passphrase is correct, and that any IP restrictions allow Synemer.
You can revoke access at any time by deleting the connection in Synemer or rotating the key in OKX.
