# 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. 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
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Bittrex
|
|
|
|
### 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 snipptet:
|
|
|
|
``` 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)
|
|
|
|
```
|
