    💥 Breaking APIs:

    Gekko has multiple APIs:

    • exchange wrapper API, Gekko Broker requires a few minor changes to wrapper files, most notably:
      • file nesting is different, importing files outside gekko broker (gekko/exchange dir) is not allowed anymore
      • error handling is a lot more robust, however implementing properly requires a few response handle functions in the wrapper
      • cancelOrder: the callback needs to be passed err as well as filled and optionally more data regarding partial fills
      • checkOrder: the callback needs to be passed on object describing partial fills & order rejection
