Introduction

This repository hosts the Bybit Brokerage Plugin Integration with the QuantConnect LEAN Algorithmic Trading Engine. LEAN is a brokerage agnostic operating system for quantitative finance. Thanks to open-source plugins such as this LEAN can route strategies to almost any market.

LEAN is maintained primarily by QuantConnect, a US based technology company hosting a cloud algorithmic trading platform. QuantConnect has successfully hosted more than 200,000 live algorithms since 2015, and trades more than $1B volume per month.

About Bybit

bybit

Bybit was founded by Ben Zhou in 2018. Bybit provides access to trading Crypto through spot markets and perpetual Futures. They serve clients with no minimum deposit when depositing Crypto. Bybit offers defi-related crypto services such as project launchpad initial coin offerings, yield farming, and recently NFT minting and curation.

Using the Brokerage Plugin

Deploying Bybit with Local Platform

You can deploy using the Local Plartform in the QuantConnect Cloud. For more information see the QuantConnect-Bybit Integration Page.

deploy-bybit

In the QuantConnect Cloud Platform you can harness the QuantConnect Live Data Feed. For most users this is substantially cheaper and easier than self-hosting.

Account Types

Bybit supports cash and margin accounts.

Order Types and Asset Classes

Our Bybit integrations support trading Crypto and Crypto Futures and the following order types:

  • Market Order
  • Limit Order
  • Stop-Market Order
  • Stop-Limit Order

Downloading Data

For local deployment, the algorithm needs to download the following dataset:

Bybit Crypto Price Data Bybit CryptoFuture Price Data Bybit CryptoFuture Margin Rate Data

Brokerage Model

Lean models the brokerage behavior for backtesting purposes. The margin model is used in live trading to avoid placing orders that will be rejected due to insufficient buying power.

You can set the Brokerage Model with the following statements

SetBrokerageModel(BrokerageName.Bybit, AccountType.Cash);
SetBrokerageModel(BrokerageName.Bybit, AccountType.Margin);

Fees

We model the order fees of Bybit at the non-VIP level, which is a 0.1% maker and taker fee for spot and 0.02% maker and 0.055% taker fee. If you add liquidity to the order book by placing a limit order that doesn't cross the spread, you pay maker fees. If you remove liquidity from the order book by placing an order that crosses the spread, you pay taker fees. To check the latest fees at all the fee levels, see the Bybit Trading Fees page on the Bybit.com website. The Bybit Spot Test Network does not charge order fees.

Margin

We model buying power and margin calls to ensure your algorithm stays within the margin requirements.

Buying Power

Bybit allows up to 10x leverage for margin accounts.

Margin Calls

Regulation T margin rules apply. When the amount of margin remaining in your portfolio drops below 5% of the total portfolio value, you receive a warning. When the amount of margin remaining in your portfolio drops to zero or goes negative, the portfolio sorts the generated margin call orders by their unrealized profit and executes each order synchronously until your portfolio is within the margin requirements.

Slippage

Orders through Bybit do not experience slippage in backtests. In live trading, your orders may experience slippage.

Fills

We fill market orders immediately and completely in backtests. In live trading, if the quantity of your market orders exceeds the quantity available at the top of the order book, your orders are filled according to what is available in the order book.

Settlements

Trades settle immediately after the transaction.

Deposits and Withdraws

You can deposit and withdraw cash from your brokerage account while you run an algorithm that's connected to the account. We sync the algorithm's cash holdings with the cash holdings in your brokerage account every day at 7:45 AM Eastern Time (ET).

LEAN Engine is an open-source algorithmic trading engine built for easy strategy research, backtesting, and live trading. We integrate with common data providers and brokerages, so you can quickly deploy algorithmic trading strategies.

The core of the LEAN Engine is written in C#, but it operates seamlessly on Linux, Mac and Windows operating systems. To use it, you can write algorithms in Python 3.8 or C#. QuantConnect maintains the LEAN project and uses it to drive the web-based algorithmic trading platform on the website.
