The project is currently setup in two main branches:
develop- This branch has often new features, but might also cause breaking changes.master- This branch contains the latest stable release. The bot 'should' be stable on this branch, and is generally well tested.feat/*- These are feature branches, which are being worked on heavily. Please don't use these unless you want to test a specific feature.
For Binance, please add "BNB/<STAKE>" to your blacklist to avoid issues.
Accounts having BNB accounts use this to pay for fees - if your first trade happens to be on BNB, further trades will consume this position and make the initial BNB order unsellable as the expected amount is not there anymore.
For any questions not covered by the documentation or for further information about the bot, we encourage you to join our slack channel.
