Use of Simple Binary Encryption (SBE) for Binance exchange

[pte1601]

Hello Octobotlers,
I would like to know whether the Octobot binance trading engine uses the binance SBE feature?
Thanks, Greetings, Peter

Hello,
It depends on the exchange and the strategy (TradingMode and profile) you're using. You can find some details at https://www.octobot.cloud/en/guides/octobot-trading-modes/trading-modes.

SBE on Binance can cut parse latency noticeably on high-frequency book updates — the binary frames are smaller and skip JSON overhead. Trade-offs:

• Decoder maintenance — schema changes on Binance side mean you need version pinning and fast rollback.
• Debugging — JSON is easier to inspect in logs; SBE needs generated decoders or hex dumps.
• ccxt integration — unless ccxt adds native SBE support for Binance, you would be on a parallel WS path outside the unified API.

Worth prototyping on the market-data tentacle first (read-only) before routing orders through SBE. That isolates decode risk from execution.
