Title: BitFinex API - Exchange Limit
Post by: jndok on January 28, 2014, 07:23:45 PM
Hey, I was working on a Python project using the BitFinex APIs.
I wrote a function to submit a new order, it works perfectly. However, if I try to place an order below 0.01 BTCs, ex. 0.001 BTCs, it retrieves an error: Invalid order: minimum amount for exchange order is 0.01.

Why it is doing this? I already set the order type to exchange limit in the request, and I can totally place an order with 0.001 BTCs from the website. Any ideas? Can it be some sort of restriction? Thanks in advance :)

I've been wondering this too. This kind of stuff should be documented.
