Practical overview
When it fits
Consider it when you want to examine or adapt a Python-based Bybit bot that draws on Binance market data and opens short positions.
Who it is for
- Python users examining or adapting short-only automated trading logic for Bybit.
- Traders able to provide both Bybit and Binance accounts and API access.
Documented uses
- Use Binance market data for moving-average checks in a Bybit trading bot.
- Inspect or modify the bot's short-only trading logic and its 1x maximum-size setting.
Requirements & limits
- The bot requires Bybit and Binance accounts and APIs; the two exchanges serve distinct roles.
- The documented strategy opens shorts only; adding long logic is suggested as a code adaptation, not provided as an implemented or tested feature.
- The README states a maximum size of 1x leverage by default and says this can be changed in code.
- The listed dependencies include ta, ccxt==2.0.90, pandas, pybit==2.4.1, python-binance and colorama.
- The repository is identified as GPL-3.0; the README separately describes it as educational and warns that real-money use is at the user's risk.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare Python dependencies and exchange API prerequisites
Set up the listed prerequisites for the Bybit bot, without starting it.
Before you start
- Python 3.8 or later, as indicated by the README badge.
- Bybit and Binance accounts and APIs.
Steps
Ensure Python 3.8 or later is available.
Install the listed packages: the command below, the command below, the command below, the command below, the command below, and the command below.
pip install tapip install ccxt==2.0.90pip install pandaspip install pybit==2.4.1pip install python-binancepip install coloramaHave Bybit and Binance accounts and APIs ready for the bot.
Expected outcome
The documented Python packages are installed and the stated exchange account/API prerequisites are ready.
Guide limitations
- The described bot trades short positions only; its stated maximum size is set to 1x leverage and can be changed in code.
- The README warns that real-money use is at the user's own risk.
