01

What you are doing

You are creating a dedicated trading environment, connecting it with minimum-permission API credentials, choosing a HEDGERON engine and launching automation only after every preflight check passes.

02

Why it matters

A correct setup separates trading activity from your main exchange account and gives HEDGERON only the permissions needed to read and trade. Your capital remains on your exchange.

03

Before you start

Use accurate identity and jurisdiction information. Prepare access to Bybit, your email, an authenticator app and enough USDT for the selected engine. Do not use a VPN or false information to bypass exchange restrictions.

04

Compatibility matrix

Supported venue: Bybit. Supported product type: USDT perpetual contracts. Supported instruments in this release: ETHUSDT and SOLUSDT. A dedicated Bybit Standard Subaccount, Cross margin, supported collateral and a trade-only API key are required. Main Account keys, Custodial Trading Subaccounts, withdrawal-enabled keys, unsupported venues, unsupported instruments and unavailable derivatives products are not supported.

05

Step by step

  1. 01Create your account. Your HEDGERON account securely stores setup progress and product choices.
  2. 02Choose a strategy and membership. Compare Yield, Pace and Active, then select the capacity you need.
  3. 03Connect a dedicated Bybit Standard Subaccount. Use a trade-only API key with Contract Order and Position permissions; never enable Withdraw.
  4. 04Review safety checks and start. Confirm total trading capital, API permissions, market data, Sentinel, Shield and notification readiness before launch.
06

What you should see

The exchange connection should show VERIFIED. A launched bot may be ACTIVE while waiting for a valid entry; no immediate trade is required.

07

Security check

HEDGERON must reject a Main Account key, any withdrawal-capable key, a read-only key and a key missing Contract Order or Position permission.

08

Common problems

API creation is unavailable

New Bybit accounts can have a temporary API-creation restriction. Follow the period shown by Bybit.

The bot does not open a trade immediately

ACTIVE means the engine is running. It can wait for valid market conditions.

Capital is below the minimum

Add supported collateral or choose an engine with a lower minimum.
