BitMEX Liquidation

Minimal code to show how to receive the liquidations in realtime on Bitmex. It does work and does not hang randomly.

NOTE: From my experience, even though the feed is realtime according to Bitmex, by the time you receive the liquidation messages, they already happened a few seconds earlier. So it would be hard to profit from it directly. But it could use as a data feature.

Installation

virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run

python example.py               # All instruments.
python example.py XBTUSD        # Only XBTUSD.

And be patient! You might have to wait more than one hour to see your first liquidation.
