2025-04-24 15:55:38Spread Trading on Bybit provides a simplified way to enter trades, allowing traders to capitalize on spreads with just a few clicks. It involves simultaneously buying and selling two financial instruments, such as Spot, Perpetual or Expiry contracts with different expiration dates, to hedge risks and optimize potential returns.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started with Spread Trading on Bybit.
Placing a Spread Trading Order
Step 1: Log in to the Bybit App and tap Trade → Spread Trading to enter the Spread Trading page.
Alternatively, you can access Spread Trading from:
a. The Spot/Futures trading page by tapping the symbol and selecting Spread Trading in the popup.
b. The Markets page by tapping Hot → Derivatives → Spread Trading.
Step 2: Select the combo you'd like to trade.
Available spreads on the Spread Trading page are organized in a grid, with each tile representing a unique combo. A border will appear around tiles where Spread Trading offers a better price. You can filter spreads by combo (e.g., Expiry & Perpetual) and date, or sort them by the estimated APR or expiration.
Step 3: On the order placement page, set up your order with the following parameters:
|
Side |
Choose Buy or Sell for the combo. The far leg follows the direction of the combo. |
|
Type |
Select either a Limit or Market order. |
|
Order Price |
Enter the spread you'd like to trade, which represents the difference between the entry prices of the two legs. This value can be positive, negative or zero. |
|
Qty |
Set your combo size. A value of 1 means each leg will have a quantity of 1 if the order is fully filled.
Note: Partial fills may occur, but both legs are always filled in matching quantities — or not at all. |
|
Max Buy/Sell |
The maximum quantity you can trade based on your available balance, considering both legs. |
|
Leverage |
Tap the inverted triangle icon to set your preferred leverage, up to 10x for Spot and 100x for Futures. |
Step 4: Tap Buy or Sell to place your order. Review all details in the confirmation popup, then tap Confirm to proceed or Cancel to discard.
Your order has been successfully placed!
Notes:
— If a Perpetual contract is involved, the funding rate will be displayed on the order placement page to help you make more informed decisions.
— If Spot Trading is involved, leverage can only be set if Margin Trading is enabled. You can enable or disable Margin Trading from the Spot Trading order zone.
Viewing Your Spread Trading Orders
Tap All Orders in the top-right corner of the Spread Trading page. Your Spread Trading orders will be labeled accordingly. Here, you can switch between Open Orders and Order History to view active or completed orders. Tap any order to view more details, including the strategy, price and quantity.
For active orders, you can modify or cancel them just like regular orders. To cancel all open orders at once, tap Cancel All.
Alternatively, scroll down to the Orders section on the Spread Trading page to track all your orders. Use the All Markets and All Types filters to refine your view.
