  • ×New symbols appear before exchangeInfo caches refresh.
  • ×Futures contract specs differ from spot tick sizes on same underlying.
  • ×Withdrawal suspensions on new listings break arb legs.
  • ×Zero-fill limit orders during freefall when stops are market-based.

Listing-aware MEXC automation

Hot symbol registration webhooks, spread-regime detection, and tiered order types switching from aggressive to passive by volatility state.

  • Automated symbol ingest within minutes of MEXC announcement.
  • Max position % of 24h volume enforced per pair.
  • Spot and futures coordination with shared inventory view.
  • Kill switch on API error storms during listing chaos.

Frequently asked questions

Is MEXC API reliable enough for bots?+

Yes with defensive coding—retries, circuit breakers, and human kill switches during extreme events.

Spot and futures same bot?+

Possible with dual gateways and unified risk; we recommend clear separation of concerns in code.

How fast can you add new listings?+

Automated ingest targets under 5 minutes from pair going live when using our listing pipeline template.

Do you support MEXC copy trading APIs?+

We integrate where API coverage exists; otherwise build custom follower logic.

Can you backtest listing strategies?+

Replay from stored ticks post-listing; pre-listing sim is limited—we set expectations clearly.
