Configuring a Live Bybit Bitcoin Grid Trading Bot

Code Stratmill research code

Summary

This Rust example configures a live trading bot for the BTCUSDT futures instrument on Bybit and invokes a separate grid-trading routine. It registers instrument precision and market-depth settings, installs an error handler for connection, order, and custom errors, starts the bot, and creates a logging recorder. The grid call receives parameters for relative spread, grid spacing, number of levels, minimum step, skew, order quantity, and maximum position. These settings show how the example connects instrument setup and error reporting to a live grid strategy.

The actual grid algorithm is imported from another module and is not included, so order placement, re-quoting, inventory adjustment, and shutdown behavior cannot be assessed here. The snippet gives configuration values but no market conditions, backtest, or live performance evidence. A live futures grid can accumulate directional exposure when price trends, and the shown maximum position is the main explicit inventory bound. The example should be read as a launch configuration, not as a complete or validated trading system.

Key ideas

  • The bot registers BTCUSDT futures with specified tick, lot, and market-depth settings.
  • It routes several connection and order error categories through a logging handler.
  • The grid routine receives spacing, spread, level count, order size, skew, and position-limit parameters.
  • The grid implementation itself is external to the provided snippet, and no performance evidence is shown.
