If I understand correctly, when creating an order, I can only specify volume in pairing coin (f.e. USDT). What about the main coin? Let's say I have 0.21251 ETH and I want to sell it all. Can I send a request with volume in ETH, not USDT?

amount in Order means the main coin you mentioned. Use Order(currency_pair='ETH_USDT', side='sell', amount='0.21251', price='xxx') to sell ETH.

Sorry, my bad, I can see that now. Thank you

Hi

So for ETH_USDT if we buy, amount = USDT and if we sell amount = ETH ?

I ask because in the example here a buy order is created with amount = order_amount, based on min_amount which in turn is based on min_quote_amount so USDT. While in this Issue you say that the amount is the base amount = ETH ?

Thanks :)

revilwang commented 2 years ago

Yes, you're right. The example indeed leads some confusion. I'll update the demo application later.

Ok thank you So you confirm that the amount is the base amount and not the quote amount ? plus if I wanna buy/sell in quote, which in my case would be USDT, I will need to compute the corresponding amount of base ?

Yes, if USDT is the quote, you need to calculate the base amount using the price you set
