Rehearse a crypto strategy on Bybit testnet, then go live
Bybit is the crypto exchange in this group that has a paper option. That changes how you would roll out a strategy, and there are two account rules to check before you start.
A paper stage that is not just a simulator
TradersPost can point a Bybit connection at Bybit's testnet and treat it as paper. Send the same webhook alerts you plan to use live and see how Bybit itself responds to the orders, before a live subscription exists.

Bybit: 5 things that work differently
-
Setup Bybit connects with an API key, not a login
Create the key in Bybit, copy it, and paste it into TradersPost. The steps are above.
-
Orders Exits are separate signals
Bybit takes simple orders only, so take profit and stop loss cannot be attached to the entry. Send the entry first, then send a separate signal later to exit for take profit or stop loss.
Order classes (opens in a new tab) -
Orders No trailing stops
Bybit does not offer trailing stop orders.
-
Orders Exits close in your default quote currency
Bybit closes and exits a position in your default quote currency, USDT unless you change it in the connection settings.
-
Orders Prices are sent with two decimals
Limit and trigger prices go out rounded to two decimal places, so a low priced coin loses precision. Check the price before you automate sub-dollar coins.
