Quick Reference

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: For example: candles = [CandlesFactory.get_candle(connector=kucoin, trading_pair="ETH-USDT", interval="1m", max_records=100)]

candles = [CandlesFactory.get_candle(connector=kucoin,
           trading_pair="ETH-USDT", interval="1m", max_records=100)]

Pattern 2: Example:

bin/hummingbot_quickstart.py -p a -f simple_pmm_example_config.py -c conf_simple_pmm_example_config_1.yml

Pattern 3: >>> gateway swap --help usage: gateway swap [-h] [connector] [args ...] positional arguments: connector Connector name/type (e.g., jupiter/router) args Arguments: [base-quote] [side] [amount] options: -h, --help show this help message and exit

>>> gateway swap --help
usage: gateway swap [-h] [connector] [args ...]

positional arguments:
  connector   Connector name/type (e.g., jupiter/router)
  args        Arguments: [base-quote] [side] [amount]

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Pattern 4: usage: gateway list [-h]

usage: gateway list [-h]

Pattern 5: Example:

price = self.market_data_provider.get_price_by_type('binance', 'BTC-USDT', PriceType.MidPrice)

Pattern 6: Example:

price = self.market_data_provider.get_price_by_volume('binance', 'BTC-USDT', volume: 10000, True)

Pattern 7: Example:

price = self.market_data_provider.get_volume_for_price('binance', 'BTC-USDT', 70000, True)

Pattern 8: Example:

price = self.market_data_provider.get_order_book_snapshot('binance', 'BTC-USDT')
