WEEX Spot Trading Support and Caveats in Lumibot’s CCXT Broker

Article Lumibot

Summary

The document explains Lumibot’s WEEX connection through its shared CCXT broker. The path is described as spot-oriented and auto-detected, with authentication requiring an API key, secret, and passphrase. It also states that WEEX does not offer a conventional API sandbox, which limits the ability to validate integrations in a test environment.

The main operational caveat is that WEEX’s exchange business focuses on USDT-margined perpetual swaps, while Lumibot’s documented integration is for spot trading. Users should not assume that swap positions, leverage, liquidation handling, or funding-rate behavior are supported without further validation. The document also notes that WEEX excludes residents of certain jurisdictions, including the United States and Canada, so eligibility should be checked before connecting an account. It provides integration and product-scope information, but no strategy, performance evidence, or trading analysis.

Key ideas

  • Lumibot detects WEEX through its shared CCXT broker path.
  • The documented connection is oriented toward spot crypto and uses three credential values.
  • WEEX has no standard API sandbox for testing the connection.
  • Support for perpetual-swap mechanics is not established by the spot-oriented integration documentation.
  • Exchange eligibility varies by jurisdiction and should be verified before account connection.

WEEX is one of Lumibot's auto-detected CCXT credential paths. Treat it as an
advanced crypto path because jurisdiction, sandbox, and product support differ
from more common spot exchanges.

Status
------

* **Live trading path:** auto-detected through the shared CCXT broker
* **Credential style:** API key, API secret, and passphrase
* **Sandbox:** WEEX does not provide a normal API sandbox
* **Asset class:** spot-oriented crypto path in Lumibot's shared CCXT broker

Credentials
-----------

Create the API key in WEEX API Management and set:

.. code-block:: bash

   WEEX_API_KEY=your_api_key
   WEEX_API_SECRET=your_api_secret
   WEEX_API_PASSPHRASE=your_passphrase

Important Caveats
-----------------

WEEX's Terms of Use exclude residents of the United States, Canada, and several
other jurisdictions. Verify that you are allowed to use the exchange before
connecting an account.

WEEX's primary business is USDT-margined perpetual swaps. Lumibot's documented
WEEX path is spot-oriented through the shared CCXT broker. Swap-specific
position, leverage, liquidation, and funding-rate behavior should not be assumed
to work without additional validation.
