Backpack is a Dubai-licensed exchange with roots in the Solana ecosystem, offering spot markets and perpetuals under one account with sub-accounts for separate strategies. EdgeDojo connects with a read-only Backpack API key and imports spot and perpetual fills into one journal, with P&L and fees on every trade.
Click Sync after your session and your trades are waiting for review.
Tips for journaling Backpack trades
- Backpack API keys belong to one sub-account. If you trade from several sub-accounts, create a read-only key for each one and connect them separately.
- Use one sub-account per strategy and tag trades the same way in your journal. Comparing them side by side shows which approach actually pays.
- Journal spot holds and perp trades with different setups. A long-term spot buy and a leveraged scalp should not share the same win rate.
How to sync your Backpack trades
- 1 Log in to Backpack on the web and go to Portfolio > Settings > API Keys.
- 2 Click New API Key, enter a name, and choose the sub-account you trade from.
- 3 Click Read Only so the key can only view your account. Leave the Public Key field blank so Backpack generates the key pair.
- 4 Click Create and copy the API key and API secret.
- 5 In EdgeDojo, open Journal → Import Trades → Connected accounts, choose Backpack, paste the credentials and click Connect & sync.
- Funding payments are not imported from Backpack yet, so perp P&L excludes funding.
