# Exchange-specific Notes

This page combines common gotchas and informations which are exchange-specific and most likely don't apply to other exchanges.

## Binance

!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
    Binance is currently the only exchange supporting `stoploss_on_exchange`. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it.

### Blacklists

For Binance, please add `"BNB/<STAKE>"` to your blacklist to avoid issues.
Accounts having BNB accounts use this to pay for fees - if your first trade happens to be on `BNB`, further trades will consume this position and make the initial BNB order unsellable as the expected amount is not there anymore.

### Binance sites

Binance has been split into 3, and users must use the correct ccxt exchange ID for their exchange, otherwise API keys are not recognized.

* [binance.com](https://www.binance.com/) - International users, ccxt id: `binance`.
* [binance.us](https://www.binance.us/) - US based users, ccxt id: `binanceus`.
* [binance.je](https://www.binance.je/) - Binance Jersey, trading fiat currencies. Use ccxt id: `binanceje`.

### Kraken

### Historic Kraken data

The Kraken API does only provide 720 historic candles, which is sufficient for FreqTrade dry-run and live trade modes, but is a problem for backtesting.
To download data for the Kraken exchange, using `--dl-trades` is mandatory, otherwise the bot will download the same 720 candles over and over, and you'll not have enough backtest data.

#### Random notes for other exchanges

* The Ocean (ccxt id: 'theocean') exchange uses Web3 functionality and requires web3 package to be installed:
```shell
$ pip3 install web3
```
