TigerTrade Broker is a service provided by the developers of the TigerTrade terminal, which allows traders to save up to 30% on trading fees when trading on the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. The discount on fees is calculated based on trading volumes, so the more trades are executed, the more savings can be achieved on fees.
How to start using TigerTrade Broker
To get a discount on trading fees on Binance, you need to register on the TigerTrade Broker website. Please note that the TigerTrade Broker account and the TigerTrade Terminal account are separate. Previously, we have already discussed how to download and install TigerTrade: simple guide.
During the registration process, enter your email address and set a password for your account. After that, you will be automatically redirected to the Tiger.Trade Broker dashboard. Additionally, upon successful registration, you will receive a confirmation email and additional information.
Creating API Keys
To create API keys, click on the "Create API Key" button on the main dashboard page or go to the API page and click on the "New API Key +" button. You can create up to 19 API keys in total. Specify the name of the key and select the required access permissions for the created keys:
- Read permissions - grants access to retrieve information on open positions, orders, and account balances. This key setting is enabled by default and is always active.
- Spot - grants permissions for trading operations with Spot instruments.
- Futures - grants permissions for trading operations with USDⓈ-M and COIN-M futures.
- When both Spot and Futures checkboxes are selected, the key will be available for trading operations on all asset types: Spot, Futures USDⓈ-M, and Futures COIN-M.
In the 'IP addresses' field, you can specify IP addresses to be added to the whitelist. This means that trading using the created API keys will only be possible from the specified IP addresses. Trading operations from other IP addresses will be rejected by the exchange. To complete the operation, click on 'Create API Key'.
Please note that the Secret Key will be shown only once during the API key creation process. If you forget the Secret Key, you will need to create a new API key.
Copy the API key and Secret Key and save them in a secure location. Then click the 'Done' button, which will automatically redirect you to the API page where information about the created key will be displayed.

To withdraw funds, you need to provide the wallet address to which the funds will be sent, select the cryptocurrency, network, and withdrawal amount.
