👉 A quick note before you get started:
It is much easier to do this process on a desktop browser (Chrome). In our experience, it is very hard to complete this using a mobile web browser (but not totally impossible).
Additionally, API configuration is not supported in the native applications.
Available Strategies:
- ⛳ USD/ALT (USDT/C deposit / USD accumulation) - $20,000 minimum / $30,000 for full basket [flagship spot product]
- BTC/SOL (BTC deposit / BTC accumulation) - 0.2 BTC minimum

📒 How to set up a Bybit Spot Strategy (Step By Step)
Step 1 👉 Create a Sub-account
Important: You must provide API keys for a sub-account dedicated to trading with Sequence.
To ensure optimal strategy performance, Sequence requires dedicated sub-accounts for each trading strategy. To maintain trading integrity, it is essential that you refrain from manually modifying positions or placing trades within this designated sub-account.
Step 2 👉 Transfer funds
Important: We do not connect Sub-accounts without the required funds.
Please ensure you have transferred the required minimum balance ($20,000 USD / 0.2 BTC) to your Unified Trading Sub-account before proceeding.
Please note that API permissions are restricted to trading functions only—we cannot withdraw or transfer funds under any circumstances.
Attempting to connect without sufficient funds will trigger an "Insufficient Funds" error and prevent strategy activation.
Step 3 👉 Create API keys
Important: If you're setting up a new strategy, make sure you've completed all previous steps first to avoid API key rejection. If you're only refreshing API keys, you can skip directly to this step
Step 4 👉 Whitelist pairs (recommended step)
Recommended: Whitelist the traded pairs for the API
Whitelisting pairs is an important security measure that restricts API trading to only the specific cryptocurrency pairs you intend to trade. We strongly recommend configuring this to protect your account from unauthorized trading activity.
Step 5 👉 Submit API keys to Sequence
Congratulations: one last step - pair your keys with Sequence
Now that you've created your keys, there's just one final step: submitting them to Sequence for our trading team to configure your chosen strategy.
We've created a detailed guide for this process—please see the link below.

Sequence: Connecting API KeysAdditional Information
⁉️ API validity
API keys remain valid for a 90-day period. To ensure uninterrupted service, our team will provide advance notification 7-10 days prior to key expiration. Additionally, we advise clients to maintain their own calendar reminder for renewing and updating their keys via the Sequence platform before the expiration date.
As you go through the API refresh process, it is important not to delete your active trading keys to prevent service interruption. You can safely delete the old API (or let it expire) after receiving the "API refresh" email.
⁉️ Trade only permissions
The API permissions we require provide strictly controlled access exclusively for executing trades on your exchange platform. To ensure account security, these permissions do not allow for any withdrawal or transfer capabilities of your funds.
⁉️ Security recommendation
To protect your account's security, never share your exchange account login credentials—not even with our team.

🟢 What to expect The algorithm employs a systematic DCA approach, placing strategic orders based on bidirectional price action. The algorithm intentionally places smaller trades when price ranges are tight. Therefore during sideways or upward-only price movements, the strategy maintains conservative trade sizes. Conversely, larger trades require more significant price movements in both directions for effective execution and closing.
🟢 Adding funds The system takes into account the total balance of the account after the close of each trade / before the start of a new trade. This means that additional deposits can be made at any time and the system will recognize the deposit at the start of the new trade. For the funds to be recognized, please ensure funds are deposited into the Unified Trading Wallet (on Bybit) or account where you are trading (on other exchanges) AND deposited in the strategy’s base currency.
🟢 Withdrawing funds
For security purposes, please notify us before making any withdrawals that exceed 5% of your total wallet balance. This security measure allows our team to safely pause the automated trading functions before processing your withdrawal. You can submit withdrawal notifications through your user dashboard or by emailing us here: support@tradewithsequence.com
🟢 How to monitor your strategy You can monitor your strategy’s performance directly through your exchange interface by looking at the trade history. We recommend doing this in your desktop browser. For accurate performance tracking, please keep in mind that exchanges display profit and loss (PnL) metrics in USD terms. This is relevant for any strategy that is accumulating Bitcoin or Ethereum - as the unit of account will be incorrect. You must look or export the close trades and then compare the results in your unit of account.
Critical Guidelines for Active Strategies
⛔ Manual trades
Do not perform any manual trades in the sub-account running the algorithm
⛔ Withdrawals
Do not withdraw more than 5% of your total wallet balance without notifying us first
⛔ Non base asset withdrawals
Do not withdraw from any asset other than the coin that you are accumulating
⛔ Non base asset additions
Do not add any currency or coins, other than the base asset you are accumulating
