Place a single order with full control over parameters:
response = client.placeorder(
strategy="MyStrategy",
symbol="RELIANCE",
action="BUY",
exchange="NSE",
price_type="MARKET",
product="MIS",
quantity=1
)
# Response: {'orderid': '250408000989443', 'status': 'success'}
Limit Order Example:
response = client.placeorder(
strategy="MyStrategy",
symbol="YESBANK",
action="BUY",
exchange="NSE",
price_type="LIMIT",
product="MIS",
quantity=1,
price=16.50,
trigger_price=0,
disclosed_quantity=0
)
Stop Loss Order Example:
response = client.placeorder(
strategy="MyStrategy",
symbol="SBIN",
action="SELL",
exchange="NSE",
price_type="SL",
product="MIS",
quantity=10,
price=750, # Limit price
trigger_price=752 # Trigger price
)
Automatically adjusts order quantity based on current position:
response = client.placesmartorder(
strategy="SmartBot",
symbol="TATAMOTORS",
action="SELL",
exchange="NSE",
price_type="MARKET",
product="MIS",
quantity=1,
position_size=5 # Desired final position
)
# If current position is 0, sells 5 to reach -5
# If current position is 3, sells 8 to reach -5
Use Cases:
position_size to target positionaction opposite to current directionquantity dynamicallyExecute multiple orders simultaneously:
basket_orders = [
{
"symbol": "INFY",
"exchange": "NSE",
"action": "BUY",
"quantity": 1,
"pricetype": "MARKET",
"product": "MIS"
},
{
"symbol": "TCS",

"action": "BUY",
"quantity": 1,
"pricetype": "MARKET",
"product": "MIS"
}
]
response = client.basketorder(orders=basket_orders)
# Response includes status for each order
Break large orders into smaller chunks to avoid market impact:
response = client.splitorder(
symbol="YESBANK",
exchange="NSE",
action="SELL",
quantity=500,
splitsize=100, # Each order will be max 100
price_type="MARKET",
product="MIS"
)
# Creates 5 orders of 100 each
Response:
{
"status": "success",
"split_size": 100,
"total_quantity": 500,
"results": [
{"order_num": 1, "orderid": "123", "quantity": 100, "status": "success"},
{"order_num": 2, "orderid": "124", "quantity": 100, "status": "success"},
...
]
}
response = client.modifyorder(
order_id="250408001002736",
strategy="MyStrategy",
symbol="YESBANK",
action="BUY",
exchange="NSE",
price_type="LIMIT",
product="MIS",
quantity=1,
price=17.00 # New price
)
response = client.cancelorder(
order_id="250408001002736",
strategy="MyStrategy"
)
response = client.cancelallorder(strategy="MyStrategy")
# Cancels all open and trigger-pending orders
response = client.closeposition(strategy="MyStrategy")
# Squares off all open positions
response = client.orderstatus(
order_id="250408001002736",
strategy="MyStrategy"
)
# Returns: order_status, average_price, quantity, timestamp
response = client.openposition(
strategy="MyStrategy",
symbol="RELIANCE",
exchange="NSE",
product="MIS"
)
# Returns: {'quantity': '10', 'status': 'success'}
