How to close websocket opened only to receive order updates

cryptonoob321

Hello,

I have a websocket connection which only listens to order updates i.e. kws.on_order_update callback. It is not listening to ticks. How do I close this websocket after 3:30 PM? Since there would be no order updates after 3:30PM, I am unable to call ws.stop after market hours

You can have a multi-threaded setup, which keeps checking for the current time in a loop and closes the websocket connection based on an condition.
Eg:

.....
your_websocket_code
.....
kws.connect(threaded=True)
while True:
   if (current_time > market_close_time):
      kws.stop()
   # Maybe add some sleep as well to avoid a high resource-consuming continuous loop
