NORMAL ORDER PLACED INSTEAD OF BRACKET ORDER

MAG

Hi,

I wanted to place a bracket order via the kiteconnect python client api. But it placed a normal order which did not squareoff when the target was reached. I had to exit the order manually. Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong?

The code and output from kite.orders are given below:
This is what my code looked like"

order_id = kite.order_place(
                tradingsymbol=AJANTPHARM,
                exchange="NSE",
                transaction_type="BUY",
                order_type="LIMIT",
                quantity=1,
                product="MIS",
                price=RecomBuyPrice,
                squareoff_value=targetPoints,
                stoploss_value=StopLossPoints
        )

** RecomBuyPrice, targetPoints and StopLossPoints are variables containing actual values.

Prettyprint Output of Kite.orders is:

Got it working. For those who would review this thread later, I present my updated code.

        order_id = kite.order_place(
                exchange="NSE",
                tradingsymbol=InstName,
                transaction_type="BUY",
                quantity=1,
                price=RecomBuyPrice,
                product="MIS",
                order_type="LIMIT",
                validity="DAY",
                squareoff_value=targetPoints,
                stoploss_value=StopLossPoints,
                trailing_stoploss=StopLossPoints,
                variety="bo" # this is the additional line.
        )
        print('Order Id is : '+order_id)

** InstName is a variable containing exchange code for eg ASIANPAINT or JINDALSTEL
Similarly targetPoints, StopLossPoints are variables containing real numbers rounded off to .05 (tick size)
