📊 Pure market making configuration simplified

Pure market making now has a basic/advanced split that will only prompt during configuration of the basic parameters such as the exchange name, trading pair, bid/ask spreads, cancel order wait time, and order amount.

Users can configure the advanced features of this strategy by entering Yes when prompted, via config <parameter> command in Hummingbot, or by editing the strategy config file.

More information about Basic Mode and Advanced Mode of Pure Market Making in our User Manual.

🔗 New KuCoin connector

Hummingbot now supports KuCoin exchange! Nicknamed the "People's Exchange"​, Kucoin is easy to use for novice investors and in-depth enough for crypto enthusiasts. It has one of the world’s most impressive trading pair selections, a wide range of alt coins with more than 300 trading pairs and are adding new ones regularly.
