Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating your first Futures Grid Bot on Bybit.
 

 

• Trade via Trading Bot Page
• Trade via Derivatives Trading Page

 

Note: Futures Grid will be channeled directly through your Bybit Funding Account.

 

 

 

Trade via Trading Bot Page

Step 1: Please click on Trade → Trading Bot in the navigation bar to enter the Bybit Trading Bot page. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Create your Futures Grid Bot by clicking on Create Now to go to the Create Futures Grid Bot page. The maximum amount of Futures Grid Bot can be created is 50 bots.

  

 

If you've previously created Bybit trading bots (Spot Grid Bot, Futures Grid Bot or/and DCA Bot), you can view the Total Equity (USD) and Unrealized P&L (USD) under My Bots in the upper right corner of the Bybit Trading Bot page.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: You can create Futures Grid Bots in two ways:

a) AI Strategy

1. Pair: Select Derivatives trading pair

2. Order Direction: Neutral, Long, or Short

      Note: Neutral is the default setting. For more information on the difference between each order direction, you can refer to Introduction to Futures Grid Bot. 

3. Total Investment: Enter the amount to invest

4. Advanced Settings (Optional) — You can optionally set the following parameters:

• Take Profit. The Take Profit ratio should not exceed 500%.

• Stop Loss. The Stop Loss ratio should not exceed 100%.

 

Please note that Price Range, No. of Grids, Profit/Grid and Leverage parameters will be determined based on the historical data performance of the selected trading pair.
 

 

Here’s a tip: If you don’t have sufficient funds in your Trading Bot Account, you can click on Transfer to transfer assets to your Funding Account.
 

b) Manual

1. Pair: Select Derivatives trading pair

2. Order Direction: Neutral, Long or Short

      Note: Neutral is the default setting. For more information on the difference between each order direction, you can refer to Introduction to Futures Grid Bot. 

3. Price Range: Set lower and upper price bounds

4. No. of Grids: Enter the number of grids

Notes: 

— For Arithmetic, each grid has an equal price difference. For Geometric, each grid has an equal price ratio difference.

— Arithmetic grid is the default. If you want to use a geometric grid, you can select it in the No. of Grids column.

— The higher the number of grids, the smaller the price intervals. This means that in a volatile market your orders may be filled more frequently, but your profits would be lower, due to multiple trading fees.

5. Leverage: Set your preferred leverage

Note: The maximum leverage for all trading pairs in neutral order direction is 100x while it will be 50x for long or short order directions. If you don’t choose any settings, the default leverage is 10x.

6. Investment: Enter the amount you wish to invest

7. Advanced Settings (Optional) — You can optionally set the following parameters:

• Take Profit. The Take Profit ratio should not exceed 500%.

• Stop Loss. The Stop Loss ratio should not exceed 100%.
   

 
 

Then, click on Create Now. 

 

Following are the definitions of the two terms for your reference:

• Take Profit: When the position value rises to the percentage value set by the trader, the take profit will be triggered, and the position will automatically be sold to lock in your profits.

• Stop Loss: When the position value falls to the percentage value set by the trader, the stop loss will be triggered, and the position will automatically be sold to limit your loss.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Please double-check the grid bot information you’ve created, and then click on Confirm to start trading.

You can also adjust the investment amount or add TP/SL to your position from the Details → Status tab after the Bot is created. Please note that the additional investment only serves to maintain the position in order to avoid liquidation. It does not reset the Grid Bot parameters.
