Strategy Finder Free Tier — Lifetime via Bybit
You can use Strategy Finder for life — no TVH subscription required — by opening a new Bybit account through our referral link, completing Bybit's KYC, depositing funds and using them for trading, and linking that Bybit API key to your TVH account. Once the four steps clear, your account flips to verified automatically and you keep the extension forever.
The Free Tier flow used to support transferring existing Bybit accounts (with or without a prior referral). Those transfer paths have been discontinued. The only path to the Free Tier today is opening a brand-new Bybit account through the link below.
The four steps
| Step | What you do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Open a new Bybit account through the TVH referral link | partner.bybit.com/b/tvhub |
| 2 | Complete Bybit's KYC (Know Your Customer) verification | Bybit account settings |
| 3 | Deposit funds and use them for trading | Bybit |
| 4 | Link your Bybit API key to TVH | Account → Settings → API Keys |
When you link your Bybit API key, TVH checks all four requirements immediately — if they are met, the Free Tier activates right away.
How to verify your status
There are two places in TVH where verified Free Tier status is surfaced.
Settings → Profile
A verified badge appears in your profile once the account qualifies.
API Keys page
The linked Bybit key shows a golden star icon when it is the key powering your Free Tier.
If neither indicator is showing right after you link the key, double-check:
- The Bybit account was created through the referral link (not just linked afterward).
- KYC is fully verified on Bybit's side (Level 1 minimum).
- Funds have been deposited and at least one trade has been placed on Bybit.
- The API key is added to TVH and has trading permissions.
Continuous trading requirement
The Free Tier is intended for active traders, not dormant accounts. The original disclaimer applies:
We reserve the right to reset the Free-Account status in case of abuse or in the event of prolonged non-use of the created Bybit trading account.
In practice this means: keep funds in the Bybit account and place trades from time to time. You do not have to route every trade through TVH — you can use the Bybit account directly. But a Bybit account that sits empty and inactive will eventually lose Free Tier status.
Can I unlink the API key later?
Yes. Once the Free Tier is activated:
- The Strategy Finder license stays attached to your TVH account.
- You can remove the Bybit API key from TVH if you don't want to trade through TVH.
- You can still continue trading on Bybit directly.
The qualifying signal is the Bybit account itself (referral + KYC + trading activity), not the API key relationship. The API key is just how TVH detects the qualifying account.
FAQ
Q: I already have a Bybit account from before — can I qualify? A: No. As of the current policy, only brand-new Bybit accounts opened via the TVH referral link qualify. Transfer flows (whether your existing account was under another referral or unattached) have been discontinued.
Q: What if I open a new Bybit account but skip the deposit? A: Free Tier will not activate. The deposit + trading activity is the qualifying signal — Bybit pays the referral commission based on volume, and that's what funds the Free Tier on TVH's side.
Q: Is there a minimum deposit? A: Check the TVH dashboard for the current threshold — Bybit periodically adjusts qualifying volume tiers and TVH mirrors that change. The dashboard always shows the live requirement.
Q: How long does activation take? A: It is immediate. As soon as a Bybit API key is linked, TVH can test all the requirements — if they are met, your account flips to verified on the spot.
Q: What if I cancel my TVH subscription — does the Free Tier survive? A: Yes. The Free Tier is independent of subscription billing. Once activated, Strategy Finder access persists for life as long as the Bybit account remains active per the continuous-trading clause.
Q: Does this Free Tier cover the Trading Power Tool too? A: No. The Free Tier is Strategy-Finder-only. The Trading Power Tool requires a TVH subscription.
