Connecting Coinbase to Tealstreet
- First, make sure you are logged into your Coinbase account.
- Next, log into your Tealstreet account.
- Depending on when you made your account and when we did the snapshot, you might need to make a new account for v3.
It's a good idea to keep both Tealstreet and Coinbase tabs open.
- Once you have successfully logged into Tealstreet, navigate to the options menu
![V3 Options](/assets/images/v3-select-options-1430cda5291ade7ef308e65201f06bdd.png)
- Open the dropdown option named ‘Exchange’
![V3 Exchange Dropdown](/assets/images/v3-exchange-dropdown-7f69527306e167ab68b53e35345df366.png)
- Choose Coinbase from the dropdown menu.
![V3 Selecting Coinbase](/assets/images/v3-select-coinbase-44bedc395c7de8ee9be0d80e1a22576b.png)
Keep this window open, it will be used later after we create the API Key on the Coinbase site.
- In particular we'll be using the IP's shown in the Tealstreet window to whitelist the API Key in Coinbase later.
Enabling Futures Trading on Coinbase
Now lets bring up the coinbase account and make sure Advanced Trading is enabled.
![Advanced Trading Toggle](/assets/images/coinbase-advanced-toggle-6dac4d9024a937e93221aaa50432b771.png)
If you haven't yet done so you will need to unlock Futures on your account by clicking the button shown below.
- This will require you to agree to the terms and conditions for futures trading as well as perform any identify verification checks Coinbase may deem necessary.

Now fill out the information requested for the API Key.
- Name: This can be whatever you want to call the key.
- API Whitelist: Enter the IP Addresses that are shown inside the Tealstreet API Key creation window we loaded up earlier.
- Select the View & Trade permissions. You might need to change the portfolio setting to something other then Defaul to edit the permissions.
- Select the Create & Download button when done.

Proceed to confirm your keys details, and store them securely. Once you have the information you need return to the Tealstreet window we left open earlier.

Troubleshooting Coinbase
Below is a list of reported issues or concerns for Coinbase.
I am getting an error "No INTX Portfolio" ?
Coinbase does not offer perpetual futures trading in all regions. If you are in a region that does not support perpetual futures trading, you will see this error.
