Description of Issue

My algo created an order to sell some on poloniex. Due to read timeout, the order get to be executed twice. Which is the best way to configure ccxt timeout in Catalyst?

Hi @trungtv ,

Thanks for catching this, there isn't a simple way to set the timeout, we are working to solve this by handling the timeout exception properly.

Hi, I added a code that is suppose to fix such exceptions and which should avoid duplicate orders to the develop branch. tests are still needed in order to make sure it works properly, once they are done, we will release this.

Fixed at release 0.5.10.
