Couldn't connect to WS! Exiting.

See original GitHub issue

UPDATE: Seems to be working now. Must have been an issue with BitMEX servers.

I’ve been running MM without a hitch for two weeks and just today I came across the following error:

2018-10-05 15:28:22,756 - INFO - ws_thread - Connecting to wss://www.bitmex.com/realtime?subscribe=quote:ETHUSD,trade:ETHUSD,instrument,order:ETHUSD,execution:ETHUSD,margin,position

2018-10-05 15:28:27,761 - ERROR - ws_thread - Couldn't connect to WS! Exiting.

I tried running MM on three different systems and come across the same error. I’ve also tried creating a new API key (livenet) but that didn’t fix the problem. I’ve also tried upgrading websocket-client to 0.53.0 (originally 0.47.0) to no avail.

I had the same issue and fixed it:

steps:

Copied the latest market maker from _https://github.com/BitMEX/sample-market-maker_ to your project directory
Uninstalled bitmex-ws by running pip uninstall bitmex-ws in the same project directory
Ran pip install -r requirements.txt
