Bybit notes

Before creating an API key on Bybit, make sure that futures trading is already activated on your account. To connect AlgoTitan, the API key must be created in Read-Write mode and must have permissions for Unified Trading. If the connection does not work, check whether the Orders, Positions, USDC Derivatives Trading, and Trade permissions are enabled. Also make sure that the IP addresses for whitelisting were added correctly. Do not enable withdrawal permissions or internal transfers.
