Bybit
Trading Bot.
Set the Rules.
Let It Run.
Connect your Bybit perps account to AstraBit with an API key and automate your trading with rule-based execution — marketplace strategies, manual control from one dashboard, or your own code. Your funds never leave Bybit.
AstraBit is a U.S. registered broker-dealer and FINRA member firm. CRD# 331540.
What Is a Bybit Trading Bot?
A Bybit trading bot is software that places and manages perpetual futures trades on Bybit automatically, following rules you define — instead of you entering every order by hand.
With AstraBit, the bot runs through an API key you create on Bybit. Your funds stay in your Bybit account at all times; AstraBit only sends trade instructions — withdrawal and transfer permissions stay disabled on the key. Monitor positions, orders, and P&L from the AstraBit dashboard.
Three Ways to Trade Bybit with AstraBit
One API connection. Three ways to use it — pick the workflow that fits how you trade.
Marketplace Strategies
Browse the AstraBit Strategy Marketplace and subscribe to a published rule set. Once linked to your Bybit connection, the strategy’s signals execute on your account automatically — no coding required.
Manual Trading Dashboard
Set up a personal bot and enter or exit Bybit positions directly from the AstraBit trading dashboard. Manage Bybit alongside your other connected exchange accounts — charts, orders, and P&L in one place.
Bring Your Own Strategy
Already have a system? Connect a custom strategy coded in any language, or send signals straight from TradingView via webhook. AstraBit handles execution on Bybit.
How to Connect Bybit to AstraBit
Bybit is a centralized exchange, so setup is quick — create an API key, switch on One-Way Mode, and add your keys to AstraBit. Five steps, start to finish.
-
Create or Log In to Your Bybit Account
New to Bybit? Sign up through AstraBit’s partner link to become Freemium-eligible. Make sure you’re trading from a Bybit derivatives account with USDT or inverse perpetual contracts.
-
Create Your API Key
Click your profile icon, go to API Management, click Create New Key, and choose System-generated API key.
-
Set the Right Permissions
Enable Read and Contract Trading (Derivatives), matched to your account type (Standard or Unified Trading Account). Leave Withdrawal and Transfer disabled — AstraBit never needs them. Complete email/2FA verification, then copy your API Key and Secret Key; the Secret Key is shown only once.
-
Enable One-Way Mode
On your Derivatives trading screen, open Position Mode settings and select One-Way Mode. This is required — Hedge Mode is not supported for AstraBit strategies.
-
Connect in AstraBit & Create Your Bot
In the Nexus dashboard, choose Connect Exchange → Bybit, enter an API name, paste your API Key and Secret Key, set Contract Type to Perpetual Futures, leave Position Mode and Margin Type on auto-sync, and connect. Then create your trading bot and link it to a strategy.
Before You Connect
- A Bybit derivatives account, trading USDT or inverse perpetuals
- At least $50–$100 in your derivatives wallet
- One-Way Mode enabled — Hedge Mode is not supported
- API permissions: Read + Contract Trading only — withdrawal and transfer stay off

Read the Connection GuideWhat to Consider First
Automation doesn’t change the fundamentals. Here’s what to understand about Bybit and AstraBit’s integration before you start.
One-Way Mode Required
AstraBit’s Bybit integration trades USDT or inverse perpetual contracts from your Bybit derivatives account, and requires One-Way Mode. Hedge Mode is not supported — switch it before connecting or trades won’t execute as expected.
Leverage Cuts Both Ways
Perpetual futures are leveraged instruments. Trading them — automated or not — involves a significant risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors. A bot follows rules; it does not guarantee outcomes.
$50–$100 Minimum to Connect
Bybit requires a minimum balance of roughly $50–$100 in your derivatives wallet for AstraBit to detect your balance and execute trades reliably.
Bybit Is a Centralized Exchange
Bybit custodies the assets in your account and requires identity verification — a different model from on-chain venues where you hold your own keys. New to the distinction? Read our guide to centralized vs. decentralized exchanges.
Bybit Is Freemium-Eligible
The Freemium + Loyalty Program is how AstraBit prices the platform: there’s no subscription fee — everything is paid with AstraBit Credits, and eligible activity can earn credits back. Trade on a Bybit account linked through AstraBit’s referral link and a portion of the commissions AstraBit earns may be returned to you as credits based on your trading volume. Depending on your eligible activity, credits could be applied 1:1 toward bots and strategies and may offset some or all of your costs. Here’s how it works:
- Open your AstraBit account at no cost and earn credits for completing onboarding tasks.
- Create your Bybit account through AstraBit’s referral link to make your account Freemium-eligible.
- As you trade on your linked Bybit account, AstraBit converts a portion of the commissions it earns into AstraBit Credits on your account.
- Apply credits 1:1 toward eligible platform costs — bots, strategies, and more. 1 Credit = $1 USD. Credits do not expire.
- Billing starts only after your bot executes its first trade, at a transparent daily rate. Stop anytime by deleting the bot.
*AstraBit Credits are earned through eligible trading activity on affiliate-linked exchange accounts and by completing qualifying platform tasks. Credits are applied 1:1 toward eligible platform costs (1 credit = $1 USD), do not expire, are non-transferable, and have no cash value. Whether credits offset some or all of your costs depends on your activity. See the Freemium + Loyalty Program details.

Ready to Automate Your Bybit Trading?
Open your account at no cost, connect Bybit via API, and put your rules to work — from the marketplace, the dashboard, or your own code.
Trading digital assets and perpetual futures is highly speculative, involves a significant risk of loss, and may not be suitable for all investors. AstraBit does not provide investment advice or trading signals, and automation does not assure profits or protect against losses.
Bybit Trading Bot Questions
What is a Bybit trading bot?
A Bybit trading bot is software that places and manages perpetual futures trades on Bybit automatically, based on rules you define. On AstraBit, the bot connects to your Bybit account through an API key you create — it can follow a marketplace strategy, execute your manual orders from the AstraBit dashboard, or run a strategy you’ve built yourself.
Does AstraBit hold my Bybit funds?
No. Your funds stay in your Bybit account at all times. AstraBit connects through API permissions that allow trade execution only — withdrawal and transfer permissions are never enabled on the key.
Why does Bybit need One-Way Mode?
AstraBit strategies execute on Bybit using One-Way Mode, where a position is simply long or short. Hedge Mode (holding opposing long and short positions at once) is not supported and can cause trades to misfire. Set Position Mode to One-Way on your derivatives screen before connecting.
How does AstraBit connect to Bybit?
Through an API key. On Bybit, open API Management, create a System-generated key with Read and Contract Trading permissions, then paste the API Key and Secret Key into AstraBit’s Nexus dashboard. The step-by-step guide covers the full setup with screenshots.
How much does a Bybit trading bot cost on AstraBit?
There’s no upfront cost to open an account. Bots are paid for with AstraBit Credits (1 credit = $1 USD) at a daily rate, and billing only begins after your bot executes its first trade. Daily rates run from 0.33 credits for a Basic bot to 0.66 for Standard and 1.33 for Advanced (roughly $10–$40 per month), with a Nexus tier (1.99) in development. If you register on Bybit through AstraBit’s referral link, eligible trading activity may earn credits that could offset some or all of your costs. See the Freemium + Loyalty Program for details.
Can I use my own strategy or TradingView alerts?
Yes. You can connect a custom strategy coded in any language, or send signals from TradingView to AstraBit via webhook. AstraBit receives the signal and executes on your connected Bybit account. See how to connect a custom strategy.
What do I need before connecting Bybit to AstraBit?
A Bybit derivatives account with One-Way Mode enabled and a minimum balance of roughly $50–$100 in your derivatives wallet. Both are required for the API connection to detect your balance and execute trades properly.
Is AstraBit a regulated company?
Yes. AstraBit operates as CPT Capital, LLC, a U.S. broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA (CRD# 331540). You can verify our registration at FINRA BrokerCheck. Note: not all AstraBit services are broker-dealer services regulated by the SEC or FINRA.
