Unable to place orders today

magger

Today I have received the following error twice while the script tried to place an order.

error computing charges: invalid transaction type: sell
Type of error : class 'kiteconnect.exceptions.GeneralException'

The script, while placing order calculated the quantity depending on the cash and margin requirements and sends the quantity derived to the function.

Can you give the complete request param for the order_margins call?
Also, you seem to be sending the wrong value for transaction_type, it should be Uppercase SELL. Go through the input params details.

Hi Rakesh, I changed the transaction_type in order parameters for margin calculation from 'buy' to kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_BUY and it rectified the error. I guess there must be some recent change because today is the first time it showed this error. You can close this thread.
