Futures order amount #46

Open devops35 opened 1 month ago

devops35 commented 1 month ago

I didn't fully understand futures order. For example, I will buy $5 dogecoin. I couldn't understand how to enter 5 dollars into the API. Can you help me? I think I need to set this $5 with another api request. But how and where do I do it?

By looking at the process on the web, I enter size as 1 and price as 0. In this case, it tries to do the same thing I did last time on the web.

size parameter in FuturesOrder is the number of contracts placed. If you want to input amount in USDT, you need to calculated the size using the quanto_multiplier(which is how much USDT 1 contract represents) in contract detail. For instance, the quanto_multiplier for DOGE_USDT is 10, so you cannot buy $5, because the minimum size is 1, which is 10 USDT
