Trading bot - what is the maximum load an exchange server can take? I did create my own altcoins trading bot in Python3. The bot trades on the minute market and is multi-threaded. Which makes that a lot of requests are send to the server of the exchange.

I'm (was) using Bittrex as exchange. Although it did works, the bot required some more fine-tuning. I was in that process when Bittrex blocked my account, without explanation. I guess I was demanding a bit too much from the servers, as the threads addressed as much as 10 requests per seconds.

Now the question is: in order to avoid being blocked, what is an acceptable request rate for such a server ? 

TIA

Finally, after 7 days of waiting, I got this answer from Bittrex:


  Your account has been re-enabled.
  "Your account was disabled for API-ABUSE.  Please refrain from making more than 1 request per second or you can expect your account will be disabled again"


Now you now it too, fellow bot-users: no more than 1 request per second !
