Constraints#

  • The gateway requires a master account definition (API key) to be functional. The reason is that requesting L2 snapshots will require authentication.

  • The exchange API does not allow order cancelation prior to an ack or update being received by the client. (Other exchanges normally allow cancelation using a client order id.) An roq::OrderAck with roq::Error::UNKNOWN_EXTERNAL_ORDER_ID is the response if a roq::CancelOrder request is sent “too early”.

  • There are no options to instruct the exchange to auto-cancel orders on disconnect.

Comments#

  • There is currently no implementation to refresh the token for the private connection. A received token should be valid for 24 hours and dialy restarts should therefore be planned.

  • The KuCoin sandbox environment does not work with IP restriction. This was confirmed by KuCoin support.
