How to connect Crypto Fund Trader to Bybit

How CFT’s Bybit evaluations work: your own Bybit account, an API key linked to CFT’s dashboard, USDT futures only, and the actions that void an account.

Short answer

You trade from your own Bybit account. CFT links it to your evaluation through an API key and a sub-account, and only USDT futures count. Never edit or delete that API key, never add funds to the sub-account, and never trade spot: each of these can void the evaluation.

How the connection works

Choose Bybit as the platform when you buy a program. You then need a personal Bybit account, create an API key there and connect it to your CFT dashboard. CFT gives the exact steps during onboarding. The key must stay active and unchanged for the whole evaluation.

According to CFT, you do not need to complete KYC on Bybit to take part with demo capital. Bybit’s own terms and country rules still apply to your account.

Step by step

  1. Buy a program on CFT’s site and pick Bybit as the platform.
  2. Create or log in to your personal Bybit account.
  3. Follow CFT’s onboarding to create the API key with the permissions it asks for.
  4. Connect the key to your CFT dashboard. The evaluation then runs on the Bybit sub-account assigned to it.
  5. Trade USDT futures only, from that sub-account.

Rules that only apply on Bybit

  • Do not touch the API keyEditing, deleting or replacing it invalidates the evaluation. If it expires, the account is paused as “pending” until you add a new valid key.
  • Do not add funds to the sub-accountAny deposit or transfer into it can get the account suspended.
  • USDT futures onlySpot and options are banned. Trades on USDC pairs do not count toward your results.

Fees, funding and leverage

  • Trading fees are Bybit’s own and depend on your connected master account: pair, maker or taker, and volume tier. CFT adds no markup.
  • There are no swaps on Bybit; positions pay or receive funding rates set by Bybit.
  • Leverage goes up to 1:100, depending on the instrument and Bybit’s conditions.
  • More than 550 crypto futures pairs are available, according to CFT’s FAQ.
