How to view your trading history for Bybit contracts?

Accessing Your Bybit Account Dashboard

To begin viewing your trading history for Bybit contracts, you must first log in to your Bybit account. Navigate to the official Bybit website and enter your registered email and password. If two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled, input the code generated by your authenticator app or received via SMS. Once authenticated, you will be redirected to the Bybit dashboard, which serves as the central hub for all trading activities.

Upon logging in, ensure you are on the 'Derivatives' trading interface, as contract trading data is displayed here. Bybit supports multiple trading pairs across USDT-margined contracts, inverse contracts, and USDC-margined contracts. Select the specific contract type you wish to review. The dashboard layout includes various tabs such as Positions, Orders, and History, which are essential for accessing past trade records.

Navigating to the Trade History Section

After accessing the Derivatives section, locate the 'History' tab positioned at the bottom of the trading interface. Clicking on this tab expands a dropdown menu containing several subcategories: Order History, Trade History, Funding History, and Transaction History. To view executed contract trades, select 'Trade History' from this list.

The Trade History panel displays a comprehensive log of all filled orders. Each entry includes key details such as the symbol traded, side (Buy/Sell), price, quantity, fee, and timestamp. You can filter results by selecting a specific date range, symbol, or order type (e.g., Limit, Market, Stop Market). This filtering capability is crucial for users managing multiple positions across different timeframes.

Understanding Trade History Columns and Data

Each row in the Trade History table represents a single executed trade. It is important to understand what each column signifies to interpret your trading activity accurately.

• The Symbol column identifies the trading pair, such as BTCUSDT or ETHUSDT.
• The Side column indicates whether the trade was a Buy or Sell action.
• The Price reflects the execution price per contract unit.
• The Amount shows the quantity of contracts traded.
• The Fee column displays the transaction fee charged, usually paid in USDT or the base currency depending on the contract type.
• The Time column records the exact UTC timestamp of the trade execution.

For users engaged in high-frequency trading, sorting the table by Time in descending order ensures the most recent trades appear first. Hovering over certain entries may reveal additional details such as order ID, position ID, and leverage used during the trade.

Exporting Your Contract Trade Records

Bybit allows users to export their contract trade history for external analysis, tax reporting, or record-keeping. To do this, remain in the Trade History section and locate the 'Export' button, typically positioned at the top-right corner of the table. Clicking this button opens a configuration window.

In the export settings, specify the date range for the data you wish to download. You can choose predefined ranges such as Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, or set a custom period. Ensure the 'Contract Trade History' option is selected, not 'Order History' or 'Funding History'. After confirming the parameters, click 'Confirm' to generate the file.

The exported data is delivered in CSV format, compatible with spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. This file includes all visible columns from the Trade History table, enabling detailed offline analysis. Users should store these files securely, especially if they contain sensitive trading patterns or large volumes of transactions.

Using the Bybit Mobile App to View Trade History

For traders on the move, the Bybit mobile app provides full access to contract trade history. Download the app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) and log in using your credentials. Once inside, tap the 'Assets' icon at the bottom navigation bar, then select 'Derivatives'.

Navigate to the 'History' tab, where you’ll find the same Trade History option available on the desktop platform. The mobile interface condenses the information into collapsible entries, but all critical data—symbol, side, price, amount, fee, and time—remains accessible. Swipe left on a trade entry to reveal 'Copy Details' or 'Share' options for quick reference.

The mobile app supports the same filtering and export functions as the web version. To export, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and select 'Export Trade History'. Follow the prompts to define the date range and confirm the download. The file will be saved to your device or available via email, depending on your settings.

Adjusting Display Settings and Time Zones

Bybit displays timestamps in UTC by default, which may differ from your local time zone. To avoid confusion, adjust the time display settings. In the Trade History section, look for the time zone selector near the date filter. Choose your preferred time zone (e.g., UTC+8, UTC-5) to align trade times with your local schedule.

Additionally, users can customize the number of rows displayed per page. Options typically include 20, 50, or 100 entries. Selecting a higher number reduces the need for pagination when reviewing extensive histories. These display preferences are saved automatically for future sessions, ensuring consistency across logins.

For traders managing multiple sub-accounts, ensure you are viewing the correct account’s history. Use the account switcher in the top-right corner to toggle between main account and sub-accounts, as trade records are not aggregated by default.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t I see trades older than 3 months in my Trade History?Bybit retains trade history for up to 3 months by default in the live interface. To access older records, you must export the data using the date range selector. Historical exports can cover up to 12 months, provided the trades occurred within that timeframe.

Are closed positions without fills included in Trade History?No. The Trade History section only logs executed (filled) trades. If an order was placed but never filled, it will not appear here. Such orders can be found in the Order History tab under the 'Cancelled' or 'Expired' status.

Can I view trade history for perpetual contracts and futures separately?Yes. When filtering in the Trade History section, use the symbol selector to isolate specific contract types. For example, choosing BTCUSDT shows perpetual trades, while BTCUSD refers to inverse futures. The system categorizes them based on the symbol format.

Is trade history data available via API for automated tracking?Yes. Bybit provides a REST API endpoint called /private/linear/trade/record for USDT-margined contracts and /v2/private/trade/closed-pnl for inverse contracts. Developers can retrieve trade history programmatically by authenticating with their API key and specifying parameters like symbol, start_time, and end_time.
