How can I place a market order in ccxt for binance futures? Trading on binance futures with ccxt is already implemented
https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/pull/5907
In this post they suggest to use this line of code:
let binance_futures = new ccxt.binance({ options: { defaultMarket: 'futures' } })
The above line was written in JavaScript. How would the equivalent line in python look like? Like this I get an error:
binance_futures = ccxt.binance({ 'option': { defaultMarket: 'futures' } })
NameError: name 'defaultMarket' is not defined
The correct answer is that 'defaultType'
(instead of defaultMarket
) must be in quotes, but also the value must be 'future'
(not 'futures'
)
import ccxt
print('CCXT version:', ccxt.__version__) # requires CCXT version > 1.20.31
exchange = ccxt.binance({
'apiKey': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
'secret': 'YOUR_API_SECRET',
'enableRateLimit': True,
'options': {
'defaultType': 'future', # ←-------------- quotes and 'future'
},
})
exchange.load_markets()
# exchange.verbose = True # uncomment this line if it doesn't work
# your code here...
