FMZ (BOTVS) now supports all contracts on BitMEX!

The test code is:

var initAccount = null;
var nowAccount = null;
function main() {
    LogReset(1);
    Log("This is BitMEX test bot");
    Log("Fee:", exchange.GetFee());
    Log("Initial account：", initAccount = _C(exchange.GetAccount));    
    var info = exchange.SetContractType("XBTUSD");   // BitMEX ： XBTUSD ， OK ： this_week
    Log("XBTUSD info:", info);   
    Log("Use GetTicker to get ticker information：", _C(exchange.GetTicker)) 
    Sleep(1000 * 10);   
    // make an order
    exchange.SetDirection("sell");                         // set order direction
    var orderId = exchange.Sell(-1, 1);                    // sell at market price。
    Sleep(6000);
    // log positions
    var positions = null;
    Log(positions = _C(exchange.GetPosition));
    Log("Account before changing leverage：", _C(exchange.GetAccount));
    // change leverage
    Log("Change leverage", _C(exchange.SetMarginLevel, positions[0].MarginLevel * 2));
    Log("Account after changing leverage：", _C(exchange.GetAccount));  
    // test GetOrder 
    if (orderId) {
        Log(_C(exchange.GetOrder, orderId));
    } 
    Sleep(1000 * 10);
    Log(_C(exchange.GetPosition));
    // set direction to close
    exchange.SetDirection("closesell");
    var go_buy = exchange.Go("Buy", -1, 1);
    var orderId2 = go_buy.wait();
    Log(_C(exchange.GetOrder, orderId2));
    Log("Current account：", nowAccount = _C(exchange.GetAccount));
    Log(_C(exchange.GetPosition));
    LogProfit(nowAccount.Stocks - initAccount.Stocks, " initAccount:", initAccount, " nowAccount:", nowAccount);
    Sleep(1000 * 10);
    var ticker = _C(exchange.GetTicker);
    exchange.SetDirection("buy");
    exchange.Buy(ticker.Last - 50, 1);
    exchange.SetDirection("sell");
    exchange.Sell(ticker.Last + 50, 1);
    // GetOrders
    Log("Test GetOrders:", _C(exchange.GetOrders));
    var e = exchange;
    while (true) {
        var orders = _C(e.GetOrders);
        if (orders.length === 0) {
            break;
        }
        Sleep(500);
        for (var j = 0; j < orders.length; j++) {
           e.CancelOrder(orders[j].Id);
            if (j < (orders.length - 1)) {
                Sleep(500);
            }
        }
    }
    Log("Cancel order, test GetOrders again:", _C(exchange.GetOrders));
}

Check your account information at BitMEX.

Log the information by bot, which is the same with that on BitMEX.
Log positions after changing leverage, the leverage has been changed.

Use the Go function to cover your positions at the same time.

  exchange.SetDirection("closesell");
  var go_buy = exchange.Go("Buy", -1, 1);
  var orderId2 = go_buy.wait();
  Log(_C(exchange.GetOrder, orderId2));
  Log("当前账户：", nowAccount = _C(exchange.GetAccount));
  Log(_C(exchange.GetPosition));
  LogProfit(nowAccount.Stocks - initAccount.Stocks, " initAccount:", initAccount, " nowAccount:", nowAccount);

Let's try post orders and cancel it.

var ticker = _C(exchange.GetTicker);
exchange.SetDirection("buy");
exchange.Buy(ticker.Last - 50, 1);
exchange.SetDirection("sell");
exchange.Sell(ticker.Last + 50, 1);  
// GetOrders
Log("Test GetOrders:", _C(exchange.GetOrders));
var e = exchange;
while (true) {
    var orders = _C(e.GetOrders);
    if (orders.length === 0) {
        break;
    }
    Sleep(500);
    for (var j = 0; j < orders.length; j++) {
        e.CancelOrder(orders[j].Id);
        if (j < (orders.length - 1)) {
            Sleep(500);
        }
    }
}
Log("orders have been canceled. Now check orders again, order array is empty. GetOrders:", _C(exchange.GetOrders));

The pending orders information.

 [{"Id":4,"Amount":1,"Price":1679.6,"DealAmount":0,"AvgPrice":0,"Status":0,"Type":1,"ContractType":"XBTUSD"},
 {"Id":3,"Amount":1,"Price":1579.6,"DealAmount":0,"AvgPrice":0,"Status":0,"Type":0,"ContractType":"XBTUSD"}]

Note (s):

BitMEX only supports K-line periods of 1m, 5m, 1h, 1d.

Using the latest hosts, the sub-layer can automatically synthesize K-lines, and some K-line cycle data that BITMEX does not support can also be synthesized, so it is no longer limited to K-line cycles when setting them up.1分钟、5分钟、1小时、1天These cycles, all cycles can be set.

Test holding long and short positions at the same time.

LogReset(1);
var info = exchange.SetContractType("XBTUSD");
exchange.SetDirection("sell");
var orderId = exchange.Sell(-1, 1);
Log(_C(exchange.GetPosition));
Sleep(1000*6);
exchange.SetDirection("buy");
var orderId2 = exchange.Buy(-1, 1);
Log(_C(exchange.GetPosition));
exchange.SetDirection("closesell");
var orderId3 = exchange.Buy(-1, 1);
Log(_C(exchange.GetPosition));

The leverage can be changed while holding position.

4、Support exchange.IOfunction for more API.

// exchange.IO example
exchange.SetContractType("XBTUSD");
Log(exchange.IO("api", "POST", "position/leverage", "symbol=XBTUSD&leverage=4"));
Log(exchange.IO("api", "GET", "user"));
