Connecting Diary to Bybit
Important! If you do not yet have an account on Bybit exchange, register using our referral link to receive the maximum discount on the commission.
On the official Bybit website, click on the user icon and select “API”.
In the top right corner, click on the “Create New Key” button.
Complete the security setup, then in the opened window select "System-generated API Keys".
Next, we need to choose "Connect to Third-Party Application" and in the "Application Name" field enter "Traders Diaries".
Then, scroll down and in the "API Key Permissions" field, you need to select "Read-Only". Also, you need to check the box next to "Standard Account" (the sections "Orders", "Positions", "USDC Derivatives Trading", and "Trade" will be automatically selected).
If you have a unified trading account, in the "API Key Permissions" field, you need to set it to "Read-Only". After that, check the box next to "Unified Trading" (the sections "Orders", "Positions", "USDC Derivatives Trading", and "Trade" will be automatically selected).
After setting the parameters, click the "Submit" button; a window with your keys will appear, copy them for connecting to the Diary.
Note!
For security purposes, the API key will only be displayed once. After closing the window, the API will be unavailable. Save the key in a safe place.

3) Refresh the page (ctrl+F5 combination)
4) Also refresh the deals by clicking on the "Refresh" button in the top right-hand corner of the page
If the above actions do not bring results, contact our support service.

Due to the specific nature of the ByBit exchange, in order for the Diary to download the trading history of an instrument, a trade in that instrument must be executed once the API keys have been connected.
Example: You have activated the Diary and you need the full history of your trades on BTC\USDT. Make a trade on this instrument, and the history of your trades will appear in the Diary.

In the Profile window, under "Account and security" there is a "Time zone" item. Here you can set the time displayed in your diary's trades.
