Step 1. Set one-way position mode

To trade through ATAS, you must activate the one-way position mode. Hedging mode is not supported. You can change this mode in the chart settings on Bybit.

Step 2. Create an API key

1. Generate API key

Configure them properly to allow connection with ATAS:

Step 3. Connect your account in ATAS

In the main window of ATAS, go to Connections → Add → Bybit, then click Next.

A window will open for agreement signing:

OCO (One Cancels Other) orders in ATAS are emulated locally on your computer. This means the platform must be connected to your broker for OCO orders to work. If disconnected and one OCO order is filled, others in the group WILL NOT be canceled!

Step 4. Configure the connection in ATAS
