Exchanges

Hawkbot provides an abstraction layer on exchange-implementations, making sure that the rest of the code doesn't need to know exchange-specific details. This allows for example the core, plugins and strategies to interact with and receive updates from exchange-related information in a more abstract way.

Currently, the following exchanges are implemented:

Exchange	configuration key
Binance futures	binance
Binance testnet	binance-testnet
Binance spot	binance-spot
Bybit	bybit
Bybit testnet	bybit-testnet
CCXT	ccxt

When using CCXT, it will require you to add an extra configuration property exchange_type in the account.json file. An example for using CCXT with binance is shown below:

  "ccxt_01": {
    "exchange": "ccxt",
    "exchange_type": "binanceusdm",
    "key": "",
    "secret": ""
  },

If you provide a value for exchange_type that is not supported by CCXT, Hawkbot will provide an error listing all the support exchange types.

If you have a desire to have a new exchange added you can reach out to discuss.
