Spot trading on Bybit EU lets you buy and sell supported crypto on the Spot market using available funds in your account. This guide shows you how to select a Spot trading pair, place and manage a Spot order, and use key tools such as Liquidity View and Demo Trading.
Key Takeaways:
Bybit EU supports Spot trading for eligible users so you can place Buy and Sell orders on supported pairs.
You can choose from common order types such as Market and Limit, and manage pending orders from the Orders section.
In addition, use tools such as Liquidity View and Demo Trading to better understand market depth and practice placing orders.
Step 1: Once you’re logged in to your Bybit account, hover your cursor over the Trade button on the navigation bar and click on Spot.
Step 2: Choose your preferred trading pair on the left side of the page by hovering your cursor over the drop-down menu.
If you would like to enter the trading pair you want to view, simply type it into the Search Box.
Tip: Click on the star icon (☆) to place frequently viewed trading pairs in the Favorites column.
Using Market Order as an illustration, create a Spot Order with the following steps.
Step 1: Ensure that you’re in the Spot tab. Then, choose to Buy or Sell an asset.
There are various types of orders available with Bybit Spot trading. Learn more here.
Step 2: Enter your order amount. For Limit or Conditional orders, enter the order price (or trigger price) as well. For Market orders, you can place the order by Value or Quantity. Tap on the drop-down arrow next to the Value field to switch.
When you select 100% for a Market Buy or Sell order, the displayed maximum amount may differ slightly from the system-calculated amount. This small buffer helps ensure your order can be placed if the price changes.
Step 3: A confirmation window will pop up. Once you’ve verified your order details, click on Buy or Sell.
Congratulations! Your order has been successfully placed.
You can view your current unfilled or untriggered orders under the Open Orders tab. If you would like to view all current orders across all trading pairs, simply check the All Markets box.
To edit details, such as your Order Price, Trigger Price or Order Quantity, click on the pencil icon (🖉) beside the relevant order parameter.
Switch to the Order History or Trade History tab on the Spot Trading page to view up to 50 records from the past six months. Similar to Open Orders, you can place a check in the Show all trading pairs box in order to view order history or trade history from all trading pairs.
To view records for more than the past six months, click on the Orders tab on the top right of the page to be taken to the Unified Trading Order page.
Liquidity View displays the market depth for a Spot pair by showing Buy and Sell orders at various price levels, which allows you to check liquidity before placing an order.
In the trading interface, switch to Liquidity View to see Buy orders (green) and Sell orders (red). The last traded price appears between them, with the best bid and best ask closest to it.
Liquidity View also shows the relative balance between Buy and Sell orders based on order quantities, helping you understand current buying and selling pressure for the trading pair.
The Recent Trades tab shows the latest executed trades for the selected pair, including Price, Quantity (QTY) and Timestamp. Price is color-coded (green for buys, red for sells). Timestamps are displayed in your device's time zone.
The Liquidity View is provided for reference purposes only. Orders displayed in the order book can change or be cancelled before execution, and do not guarantee future price movements.
If you would like to cancel a Spot order, navigate to the Open Orders tab and click on Cancel.
Alternatively, you can choose Cancel All orders (in the upper-right corner). Note: It's essential to note that if you‘ve selected the Show all trading pairs option, clicking on Cancel All will cancel orders from all trading pairs.
Spot Margin Trading adds a variation to Spot trading by allowing you to borrow funds from the platform to make bigger trades. Here's how it differs from Spot trading:
Leverage: You can buy or sell more assets by borrowing funds from the platform.
Collateral: You’ll need to have other margin assets as collateral to secure your borrowing.
Ownership: While you retain ownership of the asset, there's a liquidation risk if the market takes a downturn, such as when your loan-to-value ratio becomes too high.
Borrowing interest/fees accrue hourly, and are charged to your account. Therefore, make sure to factor these costs into your trade and repayment.
Collateral requirement To use Spot Margin trading, you must hold eligible assets as collateral in your Unified Trading Account (UTA). The value of your collateral affects both your borrowing capacity and margin requirements.
Risk acknowledgement Before enabling Spot Margin trading, you’re required to review and acknowledge the associated risks. Margin trading involves borrowing assets, and may increase the risk of losses if market conditions change.
Unified Trading Account rules Spot Margin Trading follows the Unified Trading Account rules. Your assets may be shared as collateral across eligible trades, and margin requirements are calculated based on your overall account balance and liabilities.
To better understand the difference between Spot and Spot Margin trading, click here.
Step 1: Right-click on the toggle next to Margin to activate Margin trading.To make sure Spot Margin and leverage information are enabled, click on the drop-down menu in the top-right corner of the trading panel.
In the Settings section, check to see that Spot Margin and Leverage are selected.
Step 2: Once Margin mode is enabled, you can proceed to place a Spot order.
By default, Cross Margin is enabled with a 10x setting. In Cross Margin mode, your available margin balance is shared across eligible Spot Margin trades.
Order type Select the order type you want to place (e.g., Limit, Market or TP/SL). The order panel will display the relevant fields based on your selection.
Price settings Depending upon the selected order type, enter the required price fields (for example, Limit price, or TP/SL prices if you use TP/SL).
Order amount Enter your order amount by setting the Quantity (BTC) or the Order Value (USDC). You can also use the slider to adjust the order size based on your available balance. When Spot Margin is enabled, the Amount to Borrow is calculated automatically based on your input.
TP/SL Select TP/SL from the order type menu to set take-profit and stop-loss prices for your order. After your order is filled, the system will place the preset TP/SL orders automatically. To make changes, go to Open Orders to edit or cancel any unfilled orders.
Order Settings Depending upon the order type you select (e.g., Limit or Conditional), additional settings may be available, such as:
Time In Force Selections (GTC, IOC, FOK)
Post-Only (for Limit orders)
After verifying your order details, click on Buy or Sell (e.g., Margin Buy when Spot Margin is enabled) to place your order.
Your order will either be placed immediately or remain pending until its conditions are met (for example, a Conditional order waiting for the trigger price). Orders that execute immediately can’t be cancelled, but you can cancel pending orders under Open Orders.
You can also place Spot trades by using the Bybit EU mobile app. If you don’t yet have it, download the App from the App Store or Google Play and install it on your device. The Bybit EU App allows you to access key Spot trading features on mobile, and provides a similar experience to the desktop version (availability may vary by region).
Step 1: After opening the App, tap on Trade in the menu at bottom.
Step 2: Tap on the green Buy or red Sell button in the screen (above) to place your order. You’ll be directed to the Spot order interface, where you can provide your order details, check your existing orders, cancel them and perform all other operations (just as in the desktop version, as described in the relevant section above).
Step 3: Choose the order type (e.g., Market or Limit) from the drop-down, then enter your order value in the selected currency (e.g., USDC). You can set the amount manually or use the slider to select a percentage. Once you’re ready, tap on Buy to place your order.
In order for traders to execute their strategies more effectively in volatile markets, we've introduced a convenient function that lets them place an order directly on the trading chart.
Currently, Quick Open functions are not available on the App.
From the chart interface, you can access additional tools, such as Quick Trading features, Order History and Show order info via the options menu.
The Quick Open market order is located at the upper-right corner of the trading chart. Once you’ve preset the quantity of the contracts, you’ll be able to open a Buy or Sell position using a Market order, with just one click.
Quick Open Limit orders can be placed from the chart’s price scale. Simply hover to see the + button, then set the quantity and place a Limit Buy or Sell order. Limit Sells are placed above the last traded price, and Limit Buys are set below it.
Demo Trading lets you practice placing trades using a simulated account with simulated assets, so you can get familiar with the trading interface without using real funds.
On the Bybit EU App, you can access Demo Trading by tapping on More → Demo Trading.
On the web version, you can enter Demo Trading from the top-left bar by tapping on Tools and selecting Demo Trading.
To exit Demo Trading and return to your live account, select Start Live Trading from the trading page.
Opening a trade on Bybit EU is straightforward. Just choose a Spot pair, select an order type and review your available tools before confirming. Always double-check your order details, and use Demo mode so you can practice.
