Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has recently introduced a new order type optimized for larger trades. Percentage of Volume (POV) Order on Bybit Futures, an advanced algorithmic execution tool designed for traders managing large positions in volatile markets.

Protecting Trading Intent to Reduce Slippage

Bybit POV Order automatically splits large orders into smaller sub-orders, pacing execution in proportion to real-time market activity. When market volume accelerates, execution follows. When liquidity thins, the pace adjusts accordingly. Traders benefit from a controlled, adaptive approach to order placement that reduces market impact without sacrificing flexibility.

Executing large orders in crypto futures markets presents a challenge: size creates footprint. A large market order can move prices against the trader, signal intent to the broader market, and generate slippage that erodes the value of the position before it is even established. 

Institutional and high-volume traders have long relied on algorithmic execution strategies to navigate this problem, but access to such tools has historically been uneven across trading platforms. Now with Bybit Futures’ POV order, ambitious traders can balance transaction size and execution precision. 

First-in-Market Order Book–Based POV Execution

Traditionally, POV execution typically was solely based on volume. Bybit's POV Order introduces a new mechanism: sub-order sizing is informed not only by traded volume, but by live order book depth. This gives traders substantially greater control over how orders interact with the market at the moment of execution, particularly during periods of low or shifting liquidity.

With Bybit’s order book-based POV execution models, traders can  choose between three execution modes tailored to different trading strategies:

• Traded Volume: Volume-based, execution is paced against real-time traded volume. Sub-orders scale with market activity across the session.

• Opposite-Side Liquidity: Sub-order sizing references live depth on the opposing side of the book, improving fill quality in directional markets.

• Same-Side Liquidity: Execution adapts to liquidity on the same side, designed to reduce signaling risk in competitive order flow conditions.

Bybit POV Order allows for more precise order sizing and timing, breaking down large orders into dynamic sub-orders to reduce signaling risk, and offers built-in slippage control during low-liquidity conditions. 

To access POV Order, users may select “POV” from the order type dropdown menu in Bybit Futures, configure execution settings and select Long or Short before confirming the Order. In the process, traders can set flexible stop conditions based on quantity, duration, or both.

POV Order is available now to all eligible Bybit Futures users. For details, users may visit: Introducing POV Order: Smarter execution for large trades
