ByBit Broker Profile

OCO groups are emulated by MultiCharts.
That means that all OCO orders are sent to the broker, price is monitored by MultiCharts, and once one of the orders is filled, MultiCharts sends a command to cancel the second OCO order to the broker.
Note that the second order may also be filled if price reaches its level before the cancellation is processed by the broker (see OCO Orders Risk).

Open Positions tab

As ByBit Spot operates with wallets, MultiCharts has to emulate positions.
The first time you connect to the ByBit Spot broker profile in MultiCharts, MultiCharts considers the position to be flat. When you open a position in MultiCharts, it will be displayed in this tab.

• Click Lookup to emulate positions based on the orders sent from MultiCharts.
  Note: If a position was opened/changed outside MultiCharts, MultiCharts will not be aware of it.
• Click Recalculate to recalculate all the positions based on orders starting from the set date.

To recalculate a position for a specific symbol click the button next to it.

• Click Add to select symbols to add to the positions list.

Note: The position on Spot accounts is emulated on MultiCharts end. After you open the position, its volume will always be less than the one you specified while opening the position due to the commission taken on Spot accounts. In order to close this position properly, please use From Broker To Strategy MP Synchronizer.

After the broker profile is set up, you can select it for trading, see the How to Select a Broker Account For Trading guide.
