Q5. On the Bybit platform, where does ByBit take chart / candlestick data, is it really fair without any manipulation?
Ans — Bybit uses the Dual-Price mechanism to prevent traders from falling victim to market manipulations.
Due to market manipulations, the market price on a futures exchange may deviate significantly from the spot price, resulting in a mass liquidation of traders’ positions. In addition to costing traders large amounts of their hard-earned money, market manipulations also destroy the general public’s confidence in the entire crypto exchange industry. Bybit’s top priority is to provide a fair trading environment to all traders, which is why we employ a Dual price mechanism to prevent market manipulations.
Dual Price Mechanism consists of Mark Price & Last Traded Price.
For perpetual contracts, the Mark price refers to a global spot price index plus a decaying funding basis rate. Mark price can be considered as a price that reflects the real-time spot price on the major exchanges — Bitstamp, Coinbase Pro, Kraken, Gemini and Bittrex, which have deep liquidity books and are not easily manipulated.
