Poloniex Markets

[Atroci]

// Monitor the live market
config.watch = {
exchange: 'poloniex',
currency: 'USDT',
asset: 'BTC',
}

Am I doing this wrong? Non of the USDT markets are working.

// Monitor the live market
config.watch = {
exchange: 'poloniex',
currency: 'BTC',
asset: 'BTC', 'XMR', 'ETH', 'FCT', 'MAID', 'DASH', 'XVC', 'GRC'
}

This also causes a syntax error on the second ",".

Didn't finished setting up, any suggestions here?

[askmike]

Hey! Unfortunately Gekko currently only supports watching a single market (like BTC-ETH). In this case Gekko calls BTC the currency and ETH the asset. The only markets at Poloniex currently supported are:

• BTC-ETH
• BTC-XMR
• BTC-FCT
• BTC-MAID
• BTC-DASH
• BTC-XVC
• BTC-GRC

If you want to watch / trade a market not in this list, let me know which one.

Also: what is USDT?

[Atroci]

Oh, I see. Well I would like to trade in USDT. I thought It was working because it's listed here:

{
name: 'Poloniex',
slug: 'poloniex',
direct: false,
infinityOrder: false,
currencies: ['BTC', 'XMR', 'USDT'],
assets: ['BTC', 'XMR', 'ETH', 'FCT', 'MAID', 'DASH', 'XVC', 'GRC'],

Poloniex allows you to trade BTC, NXT, ETH and other currencies with USD Tether, I'm not really that expert to give you a full explanation, but, you will find out more here:

https://poloniex.com/exchange#usdt_btc
https://tether.to/
https://coinmarketcap.com/assets/tether

[askmike]

Awesome, for now I added:

• USDT-BTC
• USDT-ETH

I tested watching those markets, but not real trading (no reason why this would not work, but not tested either).

Could you please download the develop branch and if you have problems / want more markets please let me know!

[Atroci]

Awesome, gonna try it!

[askmike]

If something is up or you need more markets, just comment here and reopen :)

After setting and enabling automated trader I got this error message(#337), it was working with autotrader disabled. After installing/updating lodash, async, bufferutil. I tried to run again, now doesn't work with autotrader disabled.

I guess that this have something to do with me updating/removing old lodash and async, so I'm gonna start all over and see what happens. Anyway, prob still gonna get the first error message.

So, poloniex creates an extra space after your api key, and I forgot to remove. That was pretty much the issue. It's working fine now

[askmike]

good to hear!
