In this example we will launch SMO strategy on single Bybit account. You need to obtain you exchange account ID first by calling this endpoint: ``` GET /as/v3/accounts ``` You should receive list of your accounts: ```json 200 OK [ { "id": "99998", "createdAt": "2024-08-19T16:32:03.900Z", "userId": "42", "name": "Bybit", "exchangeCode": "BYB", "exchange": "BYB", "description": "Bybit", "apiKey": "nt2jRz4sDBXINYNsAb8H", "validatedAt": "2025-01-17T07:26:16.466Z", "spot": { "isActive": true }, "futures": { "isActive": true, "settings": {} }, "isMain": true, "eventTime": "2025-09-22T12:54:25.732Z", "accountType": "SUB_ACCOUNT", "whitelistedIps": [ "" ], "permissions": [ ... ] }, { "id": "99999", "createdAt": "2024-10-30T10:09:16.536Z", "userId": "42", "name": "Binance", "exchangeCode": "BIN", "exchange": "BIN", "description": "Binance", "apiKey": "rFTZsjDdrt07NFsHQLCx", "validatedAt": "2025-01-17T07:26:21.984Z", "spot": { "isActive": true }, "futures": { "isActive": true, "settings": {} }, "isMain": true, "eventTime": "2025-09-22T12:54:25.732Z", "accountType": "SUB_ACCOUNT", "whitelistedIps": [ "" ], "permissions": [ ... ] } ] ``` As you see, Bybit account has ID of `99998`, so that's what you have to pass as `accountId` in create strategy request. ### Products metadata Some strategies trade on a single product and some on multiple products. In this example we will launch SMO which is trading on a single product. We need a product code to pass to API when launching strategy. Volven uses its own internal product codes. You can retrieve them (along with more information about products) by calling following endpoint: ``` GET /mms/v2/productDetails ``` or, if you want to narrow results to a single exchange, pass `exchangeCode` query parameter with one of following exchange codes: * `BIN` - Binance * `BYB` - Bybit * `OKX` - OKX * `CRYPTO` - Crypto.com * `IB` - Interactive Brokers * `VB` - TÝR Markets ``` GET /mms/v2/productDetails?exchangeCode=BYB ``` You will receive a list of supported products. Example response (shortened) would look like this: ```json [ { "productCode": "btcusdt", "exchangeProductCode": "BTCUSDT", "exchangeCode": "BYB", "base": "BTC", "quote": "USDT", "minSize": "0.000001", "maxSize": "17000", "minPrice": "0.01", "minNotionalValue": "5", "sizeIncrement": "0.000001", "priceIncrement": "0.01", "productType": "SPOT", "name": "BTC/USDT", "tradingViewSymbol": "BYBIT:BTCUSDT", "walletTypes": [ "BYBIT_SPOT", "BYBIT_UNIFIED_TRADING" ], "volvenName": "BTC/USDT", "contractValue": "", "contractValueCurrency": "", "removed": false }, { "productCode": "btcusdt_f", "exchangeProductCode": "BTCUSDT", "exchangeCode": "BYB", "base": "BTC", "quote": "USDT", "minSize": "0.001", "maxSize": "1190.000", "minPrice": "0.10", "sizeIncrement": "0.001", "priceIncrement": "0.10", "productType": "FUTURES", "name": "BTCUSDT USDT Perpetual", "contractType": "PERPETUAL", "tradingViewSymbol": "BYBIT:BTCUSDT.P", "walletTypes": [ "BYBIT_DERIVATIVES", "BYBIT_UNIFIED_TRADING" ], "contractCategory": "LINEAR", "volvenName": "BTCUSDT Perpetual", "contractValue": "", "contractValueCurrency": "", "removed": false } ] ``` {% hint style="warning" %} Keep in mind that Volven doesn't support all products, if you are interested in a particular product that's not on this list feel free to contact support. {% endhint %} You need to pass `productCode` as in input to the strategy. Also pay attention to `minSize` (minimum order size in base currency), `minNotionalValue` (minimum order size in quote currency), `sizeIncrement` and `priceIncrement` when providing size/price inputs to the strategy. ### Create strategy In order to launch SMO strategy send following request: ```json POST /strategy-orchestrator/strategies/action/create { "strategyType": "SMO", "productCode": "btcusdt_f", "accountId": "99998", "side": "BUY", "size": 0.1, "priceLimit": 95000, "orderMaxSize": 0.03, "aggressiveness": 0.5, "triggerPrice": 94000, "useSpikeProtection": false, "alwaysPassive": true, "autoRun": true, } ``` If everything is correct you should receive: ```json 201 Created { "strategyId": "string" } ``` In case of request validation error you will get explanation of what is wrong: ```json 400 Bad Request { "timestamp": "2025-09-15T14:56:35.228+00:00", "status": "400", "error": "Bad Request", "message": "Validation failed", "path": "/strategy-orchestrator/strategies/SMO/action/create", "errors": [ { "field": "aggressiveness", "description": "must be between 0 and 1" }, { "field": "orderMaxSize", "description": "must be greater than 0" }, { "field": "priceLimit", "description": "must be greater than 0" }, { "field": "side", "description": "must match \"BUY|SELL\"" } ] } ``` ## Full API specification For more information look into OpenAPI specification described in this document subpages --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.volven.io/api/volven-api/strategy-api.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
