## Development branches
|
|
|
|
The project is currently setup in two main branches:
|
|
|
|
- `develop` - This branch has often new features, but might also cause breaking changes.
|
|
- `master` - This branch contains the latest stable release. The bot 'should' be stable on this branch, and is generally well tested.
|
|
- `feat/*` - These are feature branches, which are being worked on heavily. Please don't use these unless you want to test a specific feature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## A note on Binance
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
