Add or update markets by uploading a CSV file
You can add multiple markets at once or bulk update parameters of the markets by uploading a CSV file.
All Spot, CFD, and PF markets can be added or updated in the same file.

Click Upload.
Once the file is processed, the markets will be added/updated and displayed in the market list.
If any required parameter is missing in a row, the row is skipped and the related market data isn’t uploaded. If the uploaded file contains errors, a warning is displayed and the data isn’t uploaded.
Download a CSV file
This option can be useful if you have already configured markets on the BP and you need to bulk update them or add new markets to existing ones. You can download a CSV file with market configurations, edit them, and then upload to the system, as described in the Add or update markets by uploading a CSV file section above.
To download a CSV file, go to Settings > Markets, and then click the Download CSV button above the market list.
