Margin Exchanges #256

Closed sanitariu closed 3 years ago

sanitariu commented 3 years ago

How many margin exchanges do we need ? Poloniex and Bianance support margin trading too. Can we add them safely ?

I have personally used Kraken, Poloniex and Liquid (Quoine) for margin trading. There is an issue open #255 to test Binance but I haven't been able to use it myself since I don't have an account there. If you do try out Binance and get it to work please contribute your configuration (without your API keys, of course :D) so others can use that exchange too. We have a page of sample configurations that are known to work. The ones that support margin trading say margin: true in them.

If you don't want to be the first, I am planning to open an account and try it out at some point soon to close that ticket.

You only need one exchange that supports margin to make trades, but having more will open more opportunities.

Margin option is false at poloniex. Does margin works there ? I have account at binance will try there. Margin probably works there too ?

I haven't used margin at Poloniex and I can't test it myself because they stopped supporting customers from the US. If you are able to test margin at Poloniex and Binance that would be a huge help. :)

I am going to try poloniex/liquid - both margin + bitstamp with real money. Any bugs/crashes i will report here
