@euphrates85 just make a retry loop or add some handling – what your program should do in case of a networking error or in case of an error on the exchange side. There will be errors, you can’t avoid them, so you have to catch/intercept them and add your handling to exceptional situations. This is how all APIs work.

A basic example:

max_attempts = 3
for i in range(0, max_attempts):
    try:
         order = exchange.create_order(...)
         break
     except Exception as e:
         print(type(e).__name__, str(e))

Sorry for taking your time again but one more question i have. I also received “ConnectionResetError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer” error. Does your answer to try several times solve this error as well? I am asking because here they said that i have to reinitialize binance client object. Again thank you in advance for your help.
