We strive to use only one exchange code to cover all the instrument classes such as spot, futures, etc. However, due to legacy issues, we might use different exchange codes for one exchange. The following exchanges are the exchanges that have more than one exchange code, covering different instrument classes.

• Binance
• Bybit
• Huobi
• Kraken
