Troubleshooting​

danger

On May 8 bybit mandated KYC for all users, and shortly before that it started banning US IP addresses. If you are trying to trade from a restricted country or did not do the KYC you will not be permitted to execute orders even if you previously were able to.

note

We are currently testing support for Unified Margin accounts. If you are using a UM account you can create a sub-account as a work-around to continue trading until support is fully implemented.
