Algorithm Example

def initialize(self) -> None:

# Set Account Currency to Tether, since USD and USDT will not auto-convert and USD cannot be used to trade

# Bybit accepts both Cash and Margin account types, select the one you need for the best reality modeling.
self.set_brokerage_model(BrokerageName.BYBIT, AccountType.MARGIN)
# Warm up the security with the last known price to avoid conversion error
self.set_security_initializer(BrokerageModelSecurityInitializer(self.brokerage_model, FuncSecuritySeeder(self.get_last_known_price)))
# Requesting data, we only trade on BTCUSDT in Bybit exchange

def on_data(self, slice: Slice) -> None:

if self.portfolio.cash_book['BTC'].amount == 0:

quantity -= quantity % self.minimum_order_size
if quantity > 0:
