Set up your Bybit connection

- Add the key in Settings, under Connections, and choose demo or live.
- Run the connection check. It shows the key's permissions, its IP binding and the account mode.
Safety on Bybit
Every position gets its stop loss placed on Bybit, so it stays in force even while the platform is offline. Keys that can withdraw are refused, and the platform only manages the orders and positions it placed itself.

Questions and answers
Can the platform withdraw from my Bybit account?
No. Keys with withdrawal or transfer permission are rejected, so the platform can only place and manage trades.
Does it change trades I place myself?
No. The platform only manages the orders and positions it placed; it never touches others.
Where is the stop loss kept?
On Bybit. Every position has its stop loss placed on the exchange.
Can I try it without real money?
Yes. Use demo mode, or a paper bot that trades virtual money on live Bybit prices.
