Constraints#

  • Order book updates are throttled at 100ms (default) or 1000ms.

  • Order books appear to allow inverted prices.

    • This has been confirmed and documented with a request (snapshot) + a single update (which brackets the snapshot). Applying the update to the snapshot results in inverted prices.

Comments#

  • Order books can be subscribed to a depth of 5, 10 and 20, according to the documentation. However, a value of 100 also appear to be valid. Other values may result in a response saying “success’, yet updates do not appear to arrive.

  • Order/account management is completely missing (needs sponsorship).
