Polling Spot Account Balances and Plotting a Funds History

Summary

The document asks how to record a spot account’s available funds every fifteen minutes and plot the resulting time series. Its example repeatedly requests account information, selects the free USDT balance, appends that value to a list, redraws a chart, saves an image, and waits before the next request. It also sketches a short retry delay after an exception.

This is a basic monitoring approach rather than a trading strategy or a complete account-data implementation. The sample does not show valid authenticated request signing, persistent storage of observations, or timestamps on the plotted data; it also uses a placeholder logging call. As written, it may not work against the private account endpoint, and the chart labels the horizontal axis as time without recording actual times. A usable version would need secure credential handling and correctly authenticated requests, along with explicit timestamped records.

Key ideas

• The proposed loop polls a spot account balance at fifteen-minute intervals.
• The example extracts the available USDT amount and appends it to an in-memory list.
• It redraws and saves a chart after each balance observation.
• The snippet lacks authenticated request signing, timestamped plotting, and persistent data storage.
