How it works 1. **Make a read-only key** In Bybit API management, create a key with read permission only. Leave trading and withdrawal off, so the key can see the account and cannot move anything in it. 2. **Paste it in** Choose Bybit, then paste the API key and the secret. There is no passphrase to find. For a prop challenge, pick the firm and use a Demo Trading key. 3. **Read the record** Fills land with their fees and funding, and the results break down by pair, hour and setup as the history builds. Results by hour ## Crypto never closes. See which hours pay you. Example Example data, not a real result: expectancy in R for each hour of the day, with fees and funding on the trade they belong to. Your own breakdown reads the fills your Bybit key syncs. Verified ## Bybit wrote this record, not you. Trades read from a live Bybit account carry the verified seal on your record and on your public page. A trade typed by hand stays marked self-reported, so the two never blur together. - Seal on live account fills - A public record a funder can check - Testnet and demo fills kept out of the verified lane Analytics ## Where the Bybit account makes and loses money. Fees and funding sit on each trade, so a result counts what the position cost to hold as well as to close. Filter by pair, hour, weekday or setup and every number recomputes. - Trading fees and funding on the trade - By pair, hour, weekday and setup - Expectancy and drawdown per account Backtester ## Rehearse the setup before the next Bybit entry. Replay a crypto chart bar by bar on real historical candles, place simulated entries, and keep the result beside the account that syncs. - Real historical candles - 2 sessions free, unlimited on Pro - Set the results beside your synced trades What is free ## Free syncs one Bybit account into your journal hourly, and logging by hand or CSV is free too.

FAQ ### Can I sync a prop firm challenge that runs on Bybit? Yes. HyroTrader, Crypto Fund Trader and Mubite are among the 6 firms in the catalogue that run challenges on a Bybit demo sub-account of your own. Pick the firm, paste a Demo Trading API key, and the challenge syncs under that firm's name. It does not carry the verified seal: nothing Bybit sends names the firm, and a firm chosen from a list is not proof. ### Why did my Bybit balance stop syncing while I hold coins? DT Terminal values a balance in cash and stablecoins only, and never guesses a coin price. While the account holds BTC or another coin, the balance pauses and the app names the coins that caused it. Your trades keep syncing the whole time. ### What does the API key need, and can it trade? An API key and its secret, with read permission only. Bybit asks for no passphrase. Create the key with trading and withdrawal off, so the key itself cannot place an order or move funds. DT Terminal only reads fills, fees, funding and balances with it. ### Can I connect the Bybit testnet? Yes, choose Sandbox / testnet when you connect. Testnet trades are filed as a demo account and stay out of the verified lane, because nothing is at stake on them. Only a live Bybit account earns the seal. ### Are perpetuals and funding payments included? Spot and USDT perpetual fills sync with their trading fees, and each funding payment is attached to the trade it belongs to. Funding on coin-margined contracts is skipped for now, and the sync tells you when it happens. ## Make the key once. The record keeps itself. Free syncs one Bybit account into your journal. Plus and Pro add more accounts.
