🚨IMPORTANT UPDATE from March, 22, 2023!🚨

Bybit has released an updated API v5 that includes the Unified Trading Account (UTA), a type of account that combines spot, futures, and options accounts into one. It is an upgrade from the previously introduced Unified Margin Account or UMA.

That means that temporarily you cannot connect Bybit account in a usual way, even if you did not yet move to UMA or UTA type of account as it is not yet supported on 3Commas.

But not to worry, it is still possible to connect Bybit to 3Commas!

Remember, the API Secret will be shown only once!
