[Low] Bitfinex WebSocket API #258

Open gatapia opened 6 years ago

gatapia commented 6 years ago

I contacted Bitfinex regarding lifting my rate limits so I can trade on their platform. They advised that WebSockets is basically limit free (as long as you have just one open socket connection). I think it would be great if catalyst used the Bitfinex websocket API, this would fix all the ERR_RATE_LIMIT errors that occur (and that are quite common on your issues list).

I know this is major work and also perhaps the responsibility of CCXT but I thought I would add this as a future reminder.

Feel free to close if you feel its beyond the scopy of catalyst (i.e. CCXT responsibility)

Thanks @gatapia for opening this, we are always happy to hear from catalyst users which future features they would like to see. This is indeed on our roadmap.
