# Binance Futures Testnet to Mainnet Promotion

## When to Use

Use this skill when transitioning a quantitative trading strategy from the Binance Futures Testnet environment to live production (Mainnet). It enforces strict institutional safeguards such as connectivity validation, leverage limits, and capital risk exposure restrictions.

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.10+

- Binance Futures Mainnet and Testnet API Keys

- A comprehensively backtested strategy with out-of-sample data

## Workflow

1. **Initialize Configurations**: Setup `ExchangeConfig` for both Testnet and Mainnet.

2. **Pre-flight Checks**: Execute automated verifications for API connectivity and strategy risk parameters.

3. **Validation**: Ensure leverage, capital risk, and hard stop-loss mechanisms are configured within institutional boundaries.

4. **Promotion**: Programmatically switch the active execution environment from Testnet to Mainnet.

## Common Pitfalls

- Hardcoding API keys or base URLs instead of managing them dynamically.

- Over-leveraging during the initial pilot phase on mainnet.

- Failing to use HTTPS for API endpoints.

- Ignoring slippage and fee differences between testnet and mainnet.

## Verification

Run `python -m unittest test_binance_futures_testnet_to_mainnet_promotion.py` to ensure all institutional safeguards are functioning properly.
