In the MoonBot terminal, the WebSocket API parameter is located on the Settings – Advanced – Engine settings tab. By default, it is checked and the WebSocket API is used to send commands to the exchange. This setting in the MoonBot terminal currently only works for the Binance exchange and the Bybit exchange. Using this setting can reduce latency on VDS, it can reduce ping by up to 10% when placing orders, since you do not need to establish a new connection for new orders, and the number of API errors is slightly reduced during strong market movements, since requests via WebSocket have a priority channel that is not loaded by other competing terminals.
It is not recommended to use the Websocket API configuration on a home computer with poor ping, as well as when using Proxy connections configured for standard operation via REST requests.
What is the “WebSocket API” parameter for on the Settings – Special – Configuration of the MoonBot terminal engine tab?
