Configuring the Bybit connection

If you use a regular (non-UTA) Bybit account, to get data on spot, perpetual and inverse futures, you need to create separate connections for each type of market:

• Choose Spot Live server to trade spot instruments that are marked with a slash in the terminal (for example, BTC/USDT)

• Choose USDT Live server to trade futures instruments with T postfix (for example, BTCUSDT)

• Choose Live server to trade futures instruments without T postfix (for example, BTCUSD)

If you use a Unified Trading Account (UTA), you may set up one connection by selecting Unified Margin Live server from the list, which allows you to get the real-time data for all Bybit market types:
