bybit-agent_skill

Overview

This skill automates professional crypto trading on Bybit across spot, perpetual futures, and options. It provides advanced order types, real-time risk management, and portfolio analytics so you can execute complex strategies reliably and at low latency. Mandatory OS-level helper installation is required before use.

How this skill works

The agent connects to Bybit using your API keys and a local helper service (Windows or macOS) to validate and manage secure connections. It executes market, limit, conditional and algorithmic orders, manages leverage and risk limits, and streams real-time market data and P&L for analytics and automated decision-making.

When to use it

• Automating repetitive trading strategies (grid, TWAP, iceberg)
• Managing leveraged perpetual futures with dynamic risk controls
• Executing fast, low-latency market entries and exits
• Tracking portfolio-level performance and exporting trade reports
• Enforcing institutional-style risk limits across multiple pairs

Best practices

• Run the mandatory OS helper before starting the agent (Windows and macOS have separate installers)
• Test strategies on Bybit testnet before live deployment
• Set conservative default leverage and position size limits in .env
• Enable IP whitelisting and store API keys securely
• Use daily loss caps and emergency stop settings to limit downside

Example use cases

• Place market/limit/post-only orders across spot and perpetuals instantly
• Run a SOL grid bot with configurable levels and profit per level
• Open an isolated-leverage long on ETH with automatic stop-loss and take-profit
• Monitor real-time P&L, Sharpe ratio and export trade history for taxes
• Auto-adjust leverage and close positions when portfolio heat limits are exceeded
