info

Supported order type (orderType):
Limit order: orderType=Limit, it is necessary to specify order qty and price.
Market order: orderType=Market, execute at the best price in the Bybit market until the transaction is completed. When selecting a market order, the "price" can be empty. In the futures trading system, in order to protect the serious slippage of the market order, the Bybit trading system will convert the market order into a limit order for matching. will be cancelled. The slippage threshold refers to the percentage that the order price deviates from the latest transaction price. The current threshold is set to 3% for BTC contracts and 5% for other contracts.
Supported timeInForce strategy:
GTC
IOC
FOK
PostOnly: If the order would be filled immediately when submitted, it will be cancelled. The purpose of this is to protect your order during the submission process. If the matching system cannot entrust the order to the order book due to price changes on the market, it will be cancelled. For the PostOnly order type, the quantity that can be submitted in a single order is more than other types of orders, please refer to the parameter lotSizeFilter > postOnlyMaxOrderQty in the instruments-info endpoint.
How to create conditional order:
When submitting an order, if triggerPrice is set, the order will be automatically converted into a conditional order. In addition, the conditional order does not occupy the margin. If the margin is insufficient after the conditional order is triggered, the order will be cancelled.
Take profit / Stop loss: You can set TP/SL while placing orders. Besides, you could modify the position's TP/SL.
Order quantity: The quantity of perpetual contracts you are going to buy/sell. For the order quantity, Bybit only supports positive number at present.
Order price: Place a limit order, this parameter is required. If you have position, the price should be higher than the liquidation price. For the minimum unit of the price change, please refer to the priceFilter > tickSize field in the instruments-info endpoint.
orderLinkId: You can customize the active order ID. We can link this ID to the order ID in the system. Once the active order is successfully created, we will send the unique order ID in the system to you. Then, you can use this order ID to cancel active orders, and if both orderId and orderLinkId are entered in the parameter input, Bybit will prioritize the orderId to process the corresponding order. Meanwhile, your customized order ID should be no longer than 36 characters and should be unique.
Open orders up limit:
Perps & Futures:
a) Each account can hold a maximum of 500 active orders simultaneously per symbol.
b) conditional orders: each account can hold a maximum of 10 active orders simultaneously per symbol.
Spot: 500 orders in total, including a maximum of 30 open TP/SL orders, a maximum of 30 open conditional orders for each symbol per account
Option: a maximum of 50 open orders per account
Rate limit:
Please refer to rate limit table. If you need to raise the rate limit, please contact your client manager or submit an application via here
Risk control limit notice:
Bybit will monitor on your API requests. When the total number of orders of a single user (aggregated the number of orders across main account and sub-accounts) within a day (UTC 0 - UTC 24) exceeds a certain upper limit, the platform will reserve the right to remind, warn, and impose necessary restrictions. Customers who use API default to acceptance of these terms and have the obligation to cooperate with adjustments.

Spot Stop Order

Spot supports TP/SL order, Conditional order, however, the system logic is different between classic account and Unified account
classic account: When the stop order is created, you will get an order ID. After it is triggered, you will get a new order ID
Unified account: When the stop order is created, you will get an order ID. After it is triggered, the order ID will not be changed
