<h4>Paper Trading</h4>
<p>Our integration doesn't support paper trading through the Bybit Demo Trading environment, but you can follow these steps to simulate it with QuantConnect:</p>
<p>Bybit supports paper trading through two environments: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.bybit.com/en/help-center/article/FAQ-Demo-Trading">Bybit Demo Trading</a> and the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://testnet.bybit.com/">Bybit Testnet</a>. Each environment uses a separate set of API credentials, so you can't reuse your live account keys.</p>

<p>Follow these steps to set up paper trading with Bybit Demo Trading:</p>
<ol>
<li>In the <code class="csharp">Initialize</code><code class="python">initialize</code> method of your algorithm, set the Bybit brokerage model.</li>
<li><a href="/docs/v2/cloud-platform/live-trading/brokerages/quantconnect-paper-trading#15-Deploy-Live-Algorithms">Deploy your algorithm with the QuantConnect Paper Trading brokerage</a>.</li>
<li>Log in to your <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.bybit.com/">Bybit account</a>.</li>
<li>From your account menu, switch to <span class="box-name">Demo Trading</span>.</li>
<li><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.bybit.com/en/help-center/article/How-to-create-your-API-key">Create API credentials</a> in the Demo Trading environment and store them somewhere safe.</li>
</ol>

<p>Follow these steps to set up paper trading with the Bybit Testnet:</p>
<ol>
<li>Log in to the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://testnet.bybit.com/">Bybit Testnet</a>.</li>
<li><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.bybit.com/en/help-center/article/How-to-create-your-API-key">Create API credentials</a> on the Testnet and store them somewhere safe.</li>
