BYBIT TRADE

[jimmy2404]

good afternoon,

just a query on Bybit using a leverage x5 isolated trade -

how long can you keep a trade open for?

also could someone tell me what the ADL Indicator bars are when my position is no where near the liquidation price and im in profit, iv noticed the bars and hovering between 1-2. What happens if the bars go to max?

Thank you

Contracts with bybit are perpetual. You could leave one open for as long as you want but the interest rate for keeping the position open might eat it all eventually.

Afaik the 5bar indicator is the liquidation priority you have. Hence, if you're in profit, your priority in the queue will be lower and thus you'll liquidate at a lower price. Likewise, if the bar is full the opposite is true...

Thanks very much for your reply. Im planning on keeping the position open for atleast 1-2 weeks.

You can, especially if the market is trending in a give direction depending on the call in your position. If the market is not trending then you might end up making losses due to funding rates. I have been there before 

When risking your assets, make sure there is a possibility of getting good profit out of it. It would make no sense opening up a risky position, yet you end up making a profit of less than 2% of your total portfolio after a long wait of 2 weeks.

How much are the funding rates on bybit?

Noticed my wallet balance is going down, this must be the fees....

[jimmy2404]

Yes my margin keeps going down.

The funding rates keep changing every 8 hours, so the value is not permanent. You should be able to see the current funding rate in percentage and  count down to the next funding rate near the order book.

As for the trading fees this is how Bybit charges

Maker (Limit orders) - Fee: -0.025% (Yes they pay you 0.025% if your limit order gets filled)

Taker (market orders) -  Fee: 0.075%
Check this blog for guidance on their fees:

Many thanks for your input. Why do the indicators go up the more you’re in profit? Are they just slowing your leverage down?

I saw this coming. When bitmex faced similar troubles with CFTC last year. So many traders migrated to other less strict derivatives exchanges like Bybit. At first glance it seemed good news since the volumes went up but the bad news is that those exchanges eventually get on the spot light of all those bloody law enforcement bodies and with time they end up enforcing policies that most traders don't like.

What happens when I put short at 1 for margin and leave long higher to take a long position? Are gains affected? Also I didn't realize that I have to fund my position beyond the 7.5% to open and close. Is there a daily average for that? How is that charged? I feel like that's a hidden fee.

I answered this part of your question in this thread

Also I didn't realize that I have to fund my position beyond the 7.5% to open and close. Is there a daily average for that? How is that charged? I feel like that's a hidden fee.

You need to be a little more clear here. Are you using cross or isolated margin?
What leverage did you set?

There is also funding rate that is charge every 8 hours, but it's dynamic

Maybe you can post some screenshots so that we can help explain to you what you want to know.
