BitMEXWebsocket error

See original GitHub issue

I’m a new user trying to get Market Maker to work.

Have tried on both Ubuntu and Windows with Python v3.5 / 3.6 / 3.7 all with the same result:

2018-08-14 22:26:00,751 - INFO - market_maker - BitMEX Market Maker Version: v1.4

…and then it repeats the missing positional argument line forever more.

My Google-fu is failing me. Anyone have any ideas?

I’ve gotten it fully working now on windows 10 and ubuntu 16.04 using a conda enviroment with python 3.6. I’m pretty sure someone updated the pip installed version of the bitmex-market-maker, but I’m new to github so I’m not sure how to check. Also I’m pretty sure the issue causing this is a result of whatever bitmex websocket version is coming with the bitmex-market-maker pip install right now. Anyway, this is how I made it work.

how to: 1.) create enviroment with python 3.6 2.) pip install bitmex-market-maker 3.) pip install bitmex-ws 4.) navigate to a working directory, run ‘marketmaker setup’, update the settings.py file with your api info 5.) to run do ‘marketmaker XBTUSD’ (not list format ‘marketmaker [XBTUSD]’ as mentioned in the getting started section)

The [XBTUSD] part is an optional parameter (hence the square brackets), meaning if you leave it out it will run with the default (which is XBTUSD)
