Self Trade Copier: Binance to Bybit & OKX Setup Guide

Copy your own Binance futures orders to Bybit and OKX through API. Learn follower sizing, limit-price changes, partial fills, cancellations and setup checks.

What is a self trade copier?

A self trade copier repeats trading activity from one of your exchange accounts on other accounts you control. You choose the trades on a master account; the service sends the corresponding orders to your followers through exchange APIs.

Decoded's crypto trade copier for Binance, Bybit and OKX connects your own futures accounts. You can trade on Binance manually or with your own bot, then replicate to Bybit, OKX or another Binance account with separate sizing for each follower.

How to copy Binance trades to Bybit and OKX

  1. Check the markets. Replication sessions require USDT / USDC Futures connections. Check that your chosen contract is available on both the master and destination accounts and that the accounts can trade it.
  2. Create separate API keys. Create a key for each connected account. Enable the required read and futures trading permissions; keep withdrawals disabled. Review the exchange's API restrictions before connecting.
  3. Connect the accounts. Add the credentials in the Decoded console. For a Binance to Bybit route, choose Binance as the master and Bybit as a follower. Add OKX as another follower if you want both destinations in the same session.
  4. Set follower sizes. Give each follower a multiplier and, when needed, a custom calculation balance. Choose the session's symbol allowlist so only the intended instruments are copied.
  5. Check the route before scaling. Review existing positions and account settings, start the session, and check the resulting orders and status in the console and exchange interfaces.

Limit orders, market orders and conditional stops

The replication engine handles limit, market and conditional stop orders. Order parameters are translated for the destination exchange; available order types, trigger settings, tick sizes and minimum quantities can differ.

For example, a limit order copied from Binance to Bybit still has to meet Bybit's contract rules and find liquidity there. Copying an order does not guarantee the same fill time or price. Check conditional orders on the destination account as well as on the master.

If your goal is server-side Binance take-profit and stop-loss management, Security Strategy provides that separate workflow.

Follow a limit order through its lifecycle

  1. Placement is not execution. A new master limit order can be copied while it is still waiting to fill. Each follower order uses its own calculated size and must be accepted and filled by the destination exchange.
  2. Check price changes separately. Moving the price of an existing master limit order is not guaranteed to amend follower orders. After a change, inspect the price on every follower and manage an unchanged order separately if necessary.
  3. Track partial fills. If the master fills 0.01 BTC of a 0.02 BTC order, the remaining 0.01 BTC is still an order. A follower may have filled a different proportion. Compare filled quantity, unfilled quantity and the actual position on each account.
  4. Cancel the unfilled remainder. Master cancellation is sent to linked follower orders. A cancellation cannot undo completed fills. Position reconciliation can also submit corrective orders, so check final positions as well as order status.

Check available margin, contract compatibility, quantity steps and minimum notional on every follower. A sizing multiplier does not override exchange constraints. The multiple-account guide shows how balances and multipliers determine the calculated amount.

What low latency means for a trade copier

Decoded receives private account events over WebSocket and sends follower orders through exchange APIs. This keeps replication tied to exchange events while your trading decisions stay on the master account.

End-to-end execution includes event delivery, processing, network travel and the destination exchange's response. A processing benchmark alone cannot tell you when a follower order will fill. Liquidity, API limits and available margin also affect the outcome.

Questions before connecting your accounts

Can I add several Binance sub-accounts as followers?

Yes. Connect each account separately and assign its multiplier in the session. The multiple-account and Binance sub-account guide walks through a sizing example.

Does copying require withdrawal permission?

No. Replication needs the required read and trade permissions. Keep withdrawals disabled. Trading permission can still change positions and incur losses, so verify your route and sizing before use.

Where do I check pricing and connection limits?

See the current plans, then review the supported routes and controls on the Trade Copier page.

What happens when access expires?

New copying stops, while placed exchange orders remain and can still fill. Review open orders and positions on every account. After payment, start the session manually.
