No margin pair available for some coins about node-binance-trader HOT 9 CLOSED

made a pull request #80 for an automatic update of the margin pairs, but this doesn't solve the problem

What problem does the PR solve then?

Ok, gotcha. So why do margin trades still fail? You mention bnb_client.mgBorrow. Is it because the margin tradable pairs could be outdated again by when the trade is executed or what do you see there?

Please excuse my confusion, but what's the difference between available margin pairs and coins available for cross margin trading?
When we fetch the pairs, no matter what they're quoted against, that are available for margin trading, under which circumstances will there be an error?

The script uses cross margin trading only. There's no difference between those two. There's also isolated margin, which is not used in our script.

The error occurs when the signal from BVA contains a coin that is not available for cross margin trading.

For example, go to https://www.binance.com/en/my/wallet/account/margin and type into the search coin field ENJ, which you won’t find. Then go to isolated margin https://www.binance.com/en/my/wallet/account/margin/isolated and type ENJ again, and there you can find the coin.

Ok, understood so far. But https://www.binance.com/gateway-api/v1/friendly/margin/symbols only returns margin symbols so if a symbol isn't included there, the script should already fall back to normal trading. But it doesn't for you and that's the error you experience?

from node-binance-trader.

Obviously, the error affects short trades only that aren't in the margin pair list. Therefore a fallback to normal trading isn't possible. Possible workarounds: using futures or isolated margin.

Ohh, we're talking about selling 😄
Well, I think we can exclude unsellable pairs from execution. I doubt that using isolated margin is a good choice for now, because you'd need to have funds there for every possibly tradable pair, don't we? At least for now. I currently don't have experience with future trading, so I can't say if that's currently a desired workaround. @jsappme that'd be your decision.
