kite.order_place error

beast123

I am calling the order_place function like this in python. The variables I have taken from the excel file !

order_id = kite.order_place(exchange, tradingsymbol, transaction_type, quantity, price, product, order_type,validity,squareoff_value, stoploss_value, trailing_stoploss, variety)

but it is giving the following error on this line..

kiteconnect.exceptions.OrderException: `disclosed_quantity` cannot be greater than `quantity`

Please help me . Thanks !

@beast123,
You are suppose to pass disclosed quantity to this method, checkout params of order_place here.

In the link you provided there is no disclosed quantiy variable . Order is getting place without it . Please look into it as this is the only line where I am stuck !

Checkout this method in the repository, def order_place(self,
exchange, tradingsymbol, transaction_type, quantity, price=None, product=None,
order_type=None,
validity=None, disclosed_quantity=None, trigger_price=None,
squareoff_value=None,
stoploss_value=None,
trailing_stoploss=None,
variety="regular",tag=""):

You need to pass disclosed quantity.

@sujith I tried to place an order using
response = requests.post("https://api.kite.trade/orders/regular", data=payload)
as given in link https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v1/#placing-orders
The same shows error however the other kite.order_place functionality works fine. Why is the former set of command not working? How do I place a modify order in that case.
