An exchange API outage turns a trading strategy into an operational risk problem. The bot may lose market data, receive delayed order acknowledgements or reconnect without knowing whether an earlier order was accepted.
Reliable systems need explicit failure states. Useful safeguards can include idempotent client order IDs, reconciliation against exchange records, bounded retries, stale-data detection, position and exposure limits, and a safe mode that stops opening new risk. Logs should preserve timestamps and request identifiers without recording API secrets. A recovery procedure should also distinguish between a temporary network failure and an exchange-side incident.
What should happen first in your setup when order status becomes uncertain: cancel pending activity, reduce exposure, switch to observation mode or alert an operator? Share architecture and testing ideas, not API credentials or claims of guaranteed profitability.
