BYBIT GUIDE
Bybit API execution assistant setup
This page helps Bybit users set up a safer API workflow for signal review, risk controls, execution assistance, and records. It is a workflow guide, not financial advice or a profit guarantee.
Who Bybit workflows are suitable for
Bybit workflows are suitable for users who understand their account mode, product type, and leverage rules before connecting any API key. If you are new to Bybit, start with read-only review and demo or testnet practice before any order-enabled workflow.
Safer API permission setup
Bybit states API key creation is done via the website, not the app. Use the official API management page.
Use separate keys for live and testnet workflows. Do not mix test keys and live keys in the same configuration.
Start with read-only access. Add trading permission only if the workflow actually needs execution assistance.
Bybit's RSA key guidance says not to share your keys. OFC does not need withdrawal permission or custody access.
Common Bybit setup mistakes
New users may be restricted from creating API keys for a period after registration. Do not treat that as a toolkit error.
Unified account settings, derivatives settings, and product availability can affect order behavior.
System-generated and self-generated RSA keys have different setup steps. Use one clear method and document it.
Before live use, define max exposure, leverage caps, cooldowns, stop rules, and manual pause.
What OFC can do
OFC can help organize Bybit signal review, risk settings, execution-assistance checks, order/cancel records, error notes, and manual review steps. It can help you keep a workflow consistent instead of scattering decisions across exchange screens and notes.
What OFC cannot do
OFC cannot guarantee profit, prevent all losses, choose leverage for you, custody assets, recover lost funds, or operate your exchange account. It does not request withdrawal permission, exchange passwords, seed phrases, or private keys.
Before production use
Confirm reads, orders, cancellations, and records outside live exposure when possible.
Confirm spot, derivatives, account mode, margin mode, and leverage settings before order-enabled testing.
Use small controlled exposure only after the workflow has passed read, order, cancel, and pause tests.
Do not paste API secrets into public code, screenshots, chat logs, or shared documents.
