This is related with TradingIntensity kappa not converging. Would recommend to enlarge trading intensity buffer if after several minutes it still doesn’t start trading
I can confirm that after sometimes both the pair BTC/USD and BTC/USDT are working on FTX.
Tried to retest using FTX, It takes some time for bot to start trading. (Also should have sufficient balance (Base and Quote))
Some exchanges needs some time to finally calculate volatility (because of no trades happened)
Avellaneda works (Bot place orders) for: Binance, ascendex, kucoin, okx, gate.io, bybit, ftx

Why is this labelled as P3? Avellaneda strategy isn’t functional at all. Not working for Huobi, FTX and even binance_papertrade. This is rendering Avellaneda strategy useless in hummingbot.
