KuCoin to Adjust the Price Increment Unit from Feb 27th, 2019

Dear KuCoin User,

In order to improve the ecosystem of the exchange, KuCoin will adjust the price increment unit (API symbol: priceIncrement) of some trading pairs, which will be more reasonable and beneficial for matchmaking tradeoff. The adjustment will be applied to 122 trading pairs (including BTC/USDT, ETH-BTC, ETH-USDT etc.) and implemented in three batches at three different times. For API users, please be noted that the adjustments of priceIncrement may result in errors when you place orders. If your trading pairs are included in the list below, please adjust parameters properly to ensure the smooth transaction.

For example, if the priceIncrement for the pair BTC/USDT is set to be 0.1, then a new entry order with price 3600.1 is valid while another one with price 3600.01 is invalid.

The purpose of this change is to improve general trading experience and facilitate liquidity providers. We believe this is an important step towards a better trading ecosystem. Your understanding is truly appreciated.

This API is used to query real-time priceIncrement：
