PLACE ORDER code not working - was working few months ago

D11458

Below is the structure - it used to work earlier, now not working. If I comment out for condition and order placement part and just print "Algo Running" then it runs correctly. Only order placement isnt working any more. Any assistance please.

while True:
def insert_ticks(ticks):
# pdb.set_trace()
# print (ticks)
# print ("Algo is Running")
# print ("\n")
for one_tick in ticks:
try:
ltp=one_tick['last_price']
# pdb.set_trace()
one_tick_token = one_tick['instrument_token']
name = stockname[one_tick_token]

if "bought" not in trd_list[one_tick_token].values():
kite.place_order(tradingsymbol=name,variety="regular",exchange=kite.EXCHANGE_NFO,transaction_type="BUY",quantity=trd_list[one_tick_token]['trade_qty'],order_type="MARKET",product="NRML")
trd_list[one_tick_token]['buy_price']=ltp
trd_list[one_tick_token]['status1']='bought'
print ("\n")
print ("BUY ORDER PLACED")

time.sleep(0.2)
except:
pass

There shouldn't be any logic inside the on_tick method. One should only consume data and do all your calculations, insert to db or place order in other thread.
Never block the main thread that is receiving ticks.
