# 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 supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses stop-loss-limit orders. 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. Use exchange id: `binance`.
|
|
* [binance.us](https://www.binance.us/) - US based users. Use exchange id: `binanceus`.
|
|
* [binance.je](https://www.binance.je/) - Binance Jersey, trading fiat currencies. Use exchange id: `binanceje`.
|
|
|
|
## Kraken
|
|
|
|
!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
|
|
Kraken supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses stop-loss-market orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it, however since the resulting order is a stoploss-market order, sell-rates are not guaranteed, which makes this feature less secure than on other exchanges. This limitation is based on kraken's policy [source](https://blog.kraken.com/post/1234/announcement-delisting-pairs-and-temporary-suspension-of-advanced-order-types/) and [source2](https://blog.kraken.com/post/1494/kraken-enables-advanced-orders-and-adds-10-currency-pairs/) - which has stoploss-limit orders disabled.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
The International version has more pairs available, however the API always returns all pairs, so there is currently no automated way to detect if you're affected by the restriction.
|
|
|
|
If you have restricted pairs in your whitelist, you'll get a warning message in the log on Freqtrade startup for each restricted pair.
|
|
|
|
The warning message will look similar to the following:
|
|
|
|
``` output
|
|
[...] Message: bittrex {"success":false,"message":"RESTRICTED_MARKET","result":null,"explanation":null}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're an "International" customer on the Bittrex exchange, then this warning will probably not impact you.
|
|
If you're a US customer, the bot will fail to create orders for these pairs, and you should remove them from your whitelist.
|
|
|
|
You can get a list of restricted markets by using the following snippet:
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
import ccxt
|
|
ct = ccxt.bittrex()
|
|
_ = ct.load_markets()
|
|
res = [ f"{x['MarketCurrency']}/{x['BaseCurrency']}" for x in ct.publicGetMarkets()['result'] if x['IsRestricted']]
|
|
print(res)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## All exchanges
|
|
|
|
Should you experience constant errors with Nonce (like `InvalidNonce`), it is best to regenerate the API keys. Resetting Nonce is difficult and it's usually easier to regenerate the API keys.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Random notes for other exchanges
|
|
|
|
* The Ocean (exchange id: `theocean`) exchange uses Web3 functionality and requires `web3` python package to be installed:
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ pip3 install web3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Getting latest price / Incomplete candles
|
|
|
|
Most exchanges return current incomplete candle via their OHLCV/klines API interface.
|
|
By default, Freqtrade assumes that incomplete candle is fetched from the exchange and removes the last candle assuming it's the incomplete candle.
|
|
|
|
Whether your exchange returns incomplete candles or not can be checked using [the helper script](developer.md#Incomplete-candles) from the Contributor documentation.
|
|
|
|
Due to the danger of repainting, Freqtrade does not allow you to use this incomplete candle.
|
|
|
|
However, if it is based on the need for the latest price for your strategy - then this requirement can be acquired using the [data provider](strategy-customization.md#possible-options-for-dataprovider) from within the strategy.
