❓ retrieve a current Binance-USDT-All-Tradable-StaticPairList.json file & "isMarginTradingAllowed==True

[pascal00d]

Hello,

To retrieve a current Binance-USDT-All-Tradable-StaticPairList.json file, in Binance-Retrieve-All-Tradable-StaticPairList.py you check that "isMarginTradingAllowed==True".

With "isMarginTradingAllowed==True" => 131 pairs
Without "isMarginTradingAllowed==True" => 233 pairs

What is the reason to check that "isMarginTradingAllowed==True" ?

Good question, @PoCk3T is the creator of this tool, maybe he can elaborate this.
For now I'll comment it out upon my next commits pushed since indeed this tool's current purpose is mostly to pull All-Tradable pairs! (Together with some cleanup of the file)

As far as I remember, some of the pairs that shows up if you remove "isMarginTradingAllowed==True" are simply not traded anymore

I wonder if it is related to leveraged pairs used on margin trading.If that's the case I believe they will be blacklisted because of the high risk.

Can't find much on the matter besides this: https://dev.binance.vision/t/ismargintradingallowed-the-same-as-shortable/2274
It's function is clear though, to only leave pairs in the list that are margin trade-able.

But if you say that pairs would be added that are not traded anymore, then do you mean not available anymore?
Or do you mean still available but quite unpopular?

With "isMarginTradingAllowed==True" => 131 pairs
Without "isMarginTradingAllowed==True" => 233 pairs
Delta = 102 pairs

Very concretely, if we remove "isMarginTradingAllowed==True", get a list of pairs, and try to download OHCLV data for these pairs, Binance will tell you 102 of these pairs don't exist and the freqtrade download-data tool will ask you to remove these pairs from your list.

Additionally, pick one of these 102 pairs, and as far as I've seen myself, you will see these are old shitcoins

Alright that settles it 😄 and d['isMarginTradingAllowed'] is True shall remain uncommented 🙂
