How to Stop a Bybit Grid Bot?

Accessing the Bot Dashboard

1. Log into your Bybit account using verified credentials and navigate to the Trade section.

2. Select Grid Trading from the dropdown menu under Spot or Futures, depending on your bot’s configuration.

3. Locate the active grid bot in the list — each bot displays its symbol, status, and creation time.

4. Click the three-dot icon next to the bot name to open the context menu.

5. Choose Stop Bot from the options. A confirmation modal will appear with details about pending orders and unrealized PnL.

Understanding Order Cancellation Behavior

1. Stopping a grid bot triggers immediate cancellation of all open limit orders placed by the bot across the order book.

2. Orders that have already been matched and executed remain settled; no reversal occurs for filled trades.

3. The bot retains its historical performance data, including total realized profit, number of trades, and average win rate.

4. Any remaining base or quote assets held in the grid positions stay in your spot or futures wallet — they are not automatically sold or converted.

5. Unfilled take-profit or stop-loss orders attached to the grid strategy are also canceled without execution.

Manual Intervention Options

1. Before stopping, you may manually close all active grid positions by clicking Close All Positions in the bot’s action panel.

2. This forces market execution of all open buy/sell legs at prevailing prices, resulting in immediate settlement.

3. You can adjust grid parameters such as price range or number of grids while the bot is running, but changes only apply to future cycles — not ongoing orders.

4. Pausing is not available; the only operational states are Running and Stopped.

5. Once stopped, the bot cannot be resumed — restarting requires creating a new instance with identical or modified settings.

Risk Considerations During Termination

1. If the market moves sharply against the grid’s price range before cancellation completes, slippage may affect final position closure.

2. High volatility environments increase the likelihood of partial fills during manual close operations.

3. Open positions held across multiple leverage tiers in futures grids may trigger liquidation warnings if margin balance drops below maintenance level during forced exit.

4. Stopping during a funding period does not exempt accrued funding fees — those are still applied upon settlement.

5. API-integrated bots require revoking corresponding API keys if termination is part of broader security remediation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does stopping a grid bot cancel trailing stop orders?Yes. Trailing stops configured within the grid bot interface are canceled along with all other pending orders when the bot is stopped.

Q: Can I retrieve the bot’s configuration after it has been stopped?No. Configuration data is not retained post-termination. You must record parameters manually or export them before stopping.

Q: Will my API key permissions change after stopping the bot?No. API key permissions remain unchanged unless explicitly modified in the API management section.

Q: Is there a cooldown period before I can launch a new grid bot on the same symbol?No. You may create a new grid bot for the same trading pair immediately after stopping the previous one.
