How to Connect CScalp to a Bybit Unified Trading Account (UTA)

Bybit is a Singaporean cryptocurrency exchange founded in late 2018. It offers spot trading, inverse futures, as well as USDT- and USDC-based futures. The platform also includes its own P2P marketplace. One of the reasons why it is attractive to scalpers is its low trading fees for all futures contracts, with a maker fee of 0.01% and a taker fee of 0.06%. Bybit provides a platform for crypto enthusiasts to trade various instruments. It supports integration with CScalp, allowing users to leverage its features for efficient trading on the exchange.

To connect CScalp to Bybit, you need to generate "API Key" and "Secret Key" on the exchange website. These API keys act as the equivalent of a login and password. A trader can use up to 5 pairs of keys.

Log in to your personal account on the Bybit exchange. Hover your cursor over the profile icon in the top menu. From the dropdown menu, click on the "API" option.

Carefully review the information regarding the API key and click on "Create New Key."

Next, select the API key type as HMAC (System-generated API Keys).

Select "Connect to Third-Party Applications" and in the dropdown menu below choose "CScalp".

Afterward, provide a name for the key and activate permissions by enabling the following options: "Orders," "Positions", "USDC Derivatives Trading" and "Trade".

Click on the "Submit" button once again.

Copy or note down your secret key. Once you close the window, you won't be able to view the "API Secret" key again. The "API Key" will always be accessible in your personal account. After saving the API, click on the "Confirm" button. The key creation process is now complete.

Please be aware that seven days after changing your password on Bybit, the Secret Key will no longer function.

The connection process is the same for spot, inverse futures, perpetual USDT, and USDC futures on Bybit. Let's go through the steps for connecting to Bybit using USDT futures as an example.

Launch CScalp. Click on "Settings," then "Connections." Find the connection named "Bybit: UTA" and click on the gear icon to access the connection settings.

Enter your "API Key" in the "ApiKey" field and your "API Secret" in the "ApiSecret" field. Don't forget to disable the "Read-only" switch to enable trading

Click on the button with the Bybit logo. CScalp will establish a connection with the exchange. If the connection is successful, the Bybit connection area will turn green.

Done! You have successfully connected to your Unified Trading Account on Bybit and can begin trading. You can use the same process to connect to the spot market, inverse futures, and USDC perpetual futures on Bybit.
