After running smooth for about an hour, this error happened and Node crashed:

I think this could be due to the Binance API call giving an undefined response, we might want to first check that the body is defined before processing it.

is there any update about this error?

[cmroche]

It's possible that the Binance module changed something about their error handling again, I'll check it out over the weekend.

If that is the case, running npm install [email protected] should work around the issue for now.

[cmroche]

Ok actually this was simpler than that, a missing null check. I'll push a fix shortly.

Thanks @cmroche, yes that's how I ended up fixing it locally.
