Trading Symbol you are entering seems to be wrong,it should either be USDINR18AUG or USDINR18SEP not USDINR18AUGSEP.

Sorry that was a typo, but I tried with these symbols
as well,
USDINR18SEP, USDINR18SEPFUT. None of them are working.

please let me know if I am missing something.

order_id = kite.place_order(
variety=kite.VARIETY_REGULAR,
exchange=kite.EXCHANGE_CDS,
tradingsymbol="USDINR18SEP",
transaction_type= kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_SELL,
quantity= 1,
price=69.85,
product=kite.PRODUCT_NRML,
order_type=kite.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT
)

For CDS Futures contract, trading symbol should have suffix as FUT, eg.USDINR18SEPFUT.Can the same and try it again.

@rakeshr
Is it mandatory to specify 4 decimal positions for currency?

meaning "price = 70.7000" rather "price = 70.7" I see only this being the difference from the order thats going in Zerodha wwebsite.
