Trading Options

Hi,

How to trade options using kite connect API

For example. I want to buy

1. Nifty Option
   
2. Expiry date : 26SEP2019
   
3. Strike price : 11100
   
4. Option type : CE
   

Tried below code, but it is throwing InvalidInputException

OrderParams orderParams = new OrderParams();
orderParams.quantity = 1;
orderParams.orderType = Constants.ORDER_TYPE_MARKET;
orderParams.tradingsymbol = "NIFTY26SEP11100CE";
orderParams.product = Constants.PRODUCT_NRML;
orderParams.exchange = Constants.EXCHANGE_NFO;
orderParams.transactionType = transactionType;
orderParams.validity = Constants.VALIDITY_IOC;

Order order = getConnection().placeOrder(orderParams, Constants.VARIETY_REGULAR);

Thanks in advance

The last contract of a month is MONTHLY option and the symbol format is different from WEEKLY options. The syntax is [SYMBOL] [YY] [MMM] [STRIKE] [OPT TYPE]

It should be NIFTY19SEP11100CE
