## Bittrex
### Order types
Bittrex does not support market orders. If you have a message at the bot startup about this, you should change order type values set in your configuration and/or in the strategy from `"market"` to `"limit"`. See some more details on this [here in the FAQ](faq.md#im-getting-the-exchange-bittrex-does-not-support-market-orders-message-and-cannot-run-my-strategy).
### Restricted markets
Bittrex split its exchange into US and International versions.

### I get the message "RESTRICTED_MARKET"
### I'm getting the "RESTRICTED_MARKET" message in the log
Currently known to happen for US Bittrex users.
Read [the Bittrex section about restricted markets](exchanges.md#restricted-markets) for more information.
### I'm getting the "Exchange Bittrex does not support market orders." message and cannot run my strategy
As the message says, Bittrex does not support market orders and you have one of the [order types](configuration.md/#understand-order_types) set to "market". Probably your strategy was written with other exchanges in mind and sets "market" orders for "stoploss" orders, which is correct and preferable for most of the exchanges supporting market orders (but not for Bittrex).
To fix it for Bittrex, redefine order types in the strategy to use "limit" instead of "market":
```
order_types = {
...
'stoploss': 'limit',
...
}
```
Same fix should be done in the configuration file, if order types are defined in your custom config rather than in the strategy.
### How do I search the bot logs for something?
By default, the bot writes its log into stderr stream. This is implemented this way so that you can easily separate the bot's diagnostics messages from Backtesting, Edge and Hyperopt results, output from other various Freqtrade utility subcommands, as well as from the output of your custom `print()`'s you may have inserted into your strategy. So if you need to search the log messages with the grep utility, you need to redirect stderr to stdout and disregard stdout.
