Hi all, 

Just tried to run watchTicker on binance, but all bid, ask value come back as None. Is this a bug?

thank you, 

[pickmone]

works, Thanks!

[kroitor]

but this is what i get as return, which doesn’t seem to include bids and asks. But I guess this is just a Binance issue then.

Exactly.

@kroitor On another note, I see on Binance Futures API Doc, there is another channel: @bookTicker, which according to the doc returns the best bid and asks.

Yes, and you can use that with CCXT Pro:

• https://github.com/kroitor/ccxt.pro/blob/master/python/ccxtpro/binance.py#L59

binance = ccxtpro.binance({
    'options': {
        'defaultType': 'future',
        'watchTicker': {
            'name': 'bookTicker',
        },
    }
})

# or

binance = ccxtpro.binanceusdm({'options': {'watchTicker': {'name': 'bookTicker'}}})

Let us know if that does not help.
