Supported Assets
----------------
Limitations
-----------
Currently the poloniex bundle comes prepopulated with data for all 90 registered trading pairs.
However, due to limitations in how portfolios are currently modeled, we recommend sticking to ``USDT_*`` trading pairs.
USDT is an independent currency listed on Poloniex whose price is pegged to the US dollar.
Currently, this list includes: ``USDT_BTC``, ``USDT_DASH``, ``USDT_ETC``, ``USDT_ETH``, ``USDT_LTC``, ``USDT_NXT``, ``USDT_REP``, ``USDT_STR``, ``USDT_XMR``, ``USDT_XRP``, and ``USDT_ZEC``.
We plan to add support for basing your portfolio in arbitrary currencies and provide native support for modeling ForEx trades in the near future!
This project is currently in a pre-alpha state and has some limitations we'd like to address:
- *Minimum Denomination:* The smallest tradable unit in Catalyst is equal to 1/10 of a full coin. We plan to enable more granular increments, but have capped it at 1/10 to prevent integer overflows at various stages of the backtesting process.
- *Supported Assets:* Currently the poloniex bundle comes prepopulated with data for all 90 registered trading pairs.
