 ## Bybit
 
 Futures trading on bybit is currently supported for USDT markets, and will use isolated futures mode.
-Users with unified accounts (there's no way back) can create a Sub-account which will start as "non-unified", and can therefore use isolated futures.
-On startup, freqtrade will set the position mode to "One-way Mode" for the whole (sub)account. This avoids making this call over and over again (slowing down bot operations), but means that changes to this setting may result in exceptions and errors

 As bybit doesn't provide funding rate history, the dry-run calculation is used for live trades as well.

+API Keys for live futures trading must have the following permissions:
 * Read-write
 * Contract - Orders
 * Contract - Positions
 
 We do strongly recommend to limit all API keys to the IP you're going to use it from.
 
+!!! Warning "Unified accounts"
+    Freqtrade assumes accounts to be dedicated to the bot.
+    We therefore recommend the usage of one subaccount per bot. This is especially important when using unified accounts.  
+    Other configurations (multiple bots on one account, manual non-bot trades on the bot account) are not supported and may lead to unexpected behavior.

 !!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
     Bybit (futures only) supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses `stop-loss-limit` orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it by enabling stoploss on exchange.
     On futures, Bybit supports both `stop-limit` as well as `stop-market` orders. You can use either `"limit"` or `"market"` in the `order_types.stoploss` configuration setting to decide which type to use.
