Two derivatives-heavy native automation suites with different current product ranges.
Bybit discontinued Bot Copy Trading but expanded Combo tools. OKX retains a marketplace and signal-bot system. Both require exchange custody and expose high-risk derivatives modes.

Security and custody
Permissions and architecture matter more than security slogans.
Bybit Trading Bot
Bybit bots avoid external credentials but remain fully dependent on Bybit custody, internal account transfers, platform availability and account security.
Assets are transferred internally from the Funding Account into a Bybit Bot Account and remain under exchange custody.
Security score 67/100OKX Trading Bots
OKX's native architecture removes external bot keys but concentrates bot capital and execution at the exchange.
Assets are held in the user's custodial OKX account and allocated to bot trading.
