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 - International users, ccxt id:
binance. - binance.us - US based users, ccxt id:
binanceus. - 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:
$ pip3 install web3
