Bybit Trading Bot
Automate Bybit spot and perpetual futures with backtested Freqtrade strategies. Build long/short logic with no code, connect non-custodially, and trade 24/7.
Bybit Trading Bot, explained.
A Bybit trading bot on VolatiCloud is an automated Freqtrade strategy that trades your Bybit account through a trade-only API key. You build it visually or in Python, backtest it, and run it live on a managed runner with your funds staying on Bybit.
Bybit is a global, derivatives-first exchange with deep perpetual-futures liquidity. On VolatiCloud it supports both spot and perpetuals, so long, short, and long-and-short strategies with rule-based leverage all run natively.
From idea to a running bot.
Connecting Bybit takes a couple of minutes and never gives us withdrawal rights — you create a trade-only API key, paste it in, and your funds stay on Bybit.
Create a Bybit API key
In your Bybit account, create an API key with trading enabled and withdrawals disabled. We recommend an IP allow-list and a withdrawal whitelist for defence in depth.
Connect it to VolatiCloud
Paste the key and secret into VolatiCloud. Credentials are encrypted at the field level with AES-256-GCM and never logged in plaintext — optional passphrase E2EE and BYOK let you hold the key yourself.
Build or import a strategy
Design entry and exit logic in the visual builder with 27 indicators, or paste a Freqtrade strategy.py into Code Mode, then backtest it on real Bybit spot and futures history.
Go live or dry-run
Promote the strategy to a managed runner that trades Bybit 24/7, or run it in dry-run mode on live prices first. Monitor fills, PnL and drawdown with email and in-app alerts.
Built for the way you trade.
Whether you already trade on Bybit by hand or you are migrating a self-hosted Freqtrade bot, VolatiCloud runs it for you.
Bybit traders going hands-free
Automate the strategy you already run on Bybit so it executes around the clock — backtested first, then live, without watching charts.

Frequently asked questions.
Is the Bybit bot non-custodial?
Yes. Your assets always stay in your Bybit account. VolatiCloud connects through a trade-only API key and places orders on your behalf — we never take custody, and we recommend disabling withdrawals on the key entirely.
Does the Bybit bot support futures?
Yes. Bybit supports both spot and perpetual futures on VolatiCloud. Choose the trading mode in the Freqtrade config, set leverage rules in the strategy, and use long, short, or long-and-short positions.
Can I backtest before trading live on Bybit?
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Every strategy can be backtested on real Bybit historical data with win rate, Sharpe, Sortino, max drawdown and profit factor, or run in dry-run mode on live Bybit prices before risking capital.
