ccxt market id about ccxws

[bmancini55]

Hi, thanks for submitting an issue.

It looks like you are using an incorrect id for your market. CCXWS markets use the results of a call to CCXT fetchMarket. These results have an id property that is the remote exchange's identifier. CCXT does the work of normalizing the base and quote symbols across all exchanges.

Kraken is a good example. On that exchange, Bitcoin is XXBT and the BTC/USD market looks like:

{
    id: 'XXBTZUSD',  
    symbol: 'BTC/USD',
    base: 'BTC',
    quote: 'USD',
    baseId: 'XXBT',
    quoteId: 'ZUSD',
}

• id is the remote identifier the exchange is expected
• base is the normalized base symbol
• quote is the normalized quote symbol
• symbol is the concatenation of normalized base and quote symbols
• baseId is the base symbol used by the exchange
• quoteId is the quote symbol used by the exchange

It's not obvious that this is the case with Bibox because most markets are already using a symbol that is normalized.

For example, BTC/USDT on Bibox looks like

{
    id: 'BTC_USDT',
    symbol: 'BTC/USDT',
    base: 'BTC',
    quote: 'USDT',
    baseId: 'BTC',
    quoteId: 'USDT',
}

Hopefully that answers you question.

I see, I usually pass in the symbol when calling the ccxt APIs. Will close this and handle accordingly...
