Kite API to sell options instrument erring out

Swarochisha

Good morning.
I have the below code thats getting triggered from my Python module. However, its erring out without providing any details. Could you please help ? The below SELL trade is sent to square off an opening position I already have at that moment.

Error Message:
ERROR:kiteconnect.ticker:Connection error: 1006 - connection was closed uncleanly (None)
Code extract:

def place_options_trade_order(instrument,buy_sell_flag,quantity):

    
    if (buy_sell_flag=="BUY"):
        transaction_type = kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_BUY
    else:
        transaction_type = kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_SELL
    
    try:
        order_id = kite.place_order(variety=kite.VARIETY_REGULAR,tradingsymbol=instrument,
                                    exchange=kite.EXCHANGE_NSE,
                                    transaction_type=transaction_type,
                                    quantity=quantity,
                                    order_type=kite.ORDER_TYPE_MARKET,
                                    product=kite.PRODUCT_NRML)

        logging.info("Order placed. ID is: {}".format(order_id)) 
    except Exception as e:
        logging.info("Order placement failed: {}".format(e)) #e.message
    return order_id

place_options_trade(11881986,"SELL",75)# 11881986 is for  NIFTY20FEB11800PE

Hi,
Anyone, who could look into my problem ?

Thanks a lot.

@Swarochisha
All order params seems to be correct.
Are you calling place_options_trade method inside on_ticks method?

Swarochisha

Yes. I am calling another method to decide to exit the order,from within on_ticks. Based a yes/no from this method,I call the place_options_trade method,where I just fire the order.

rakeshr

@Swarochisha
You need to pass tick to a different thread for yes/no method return call, without blocking the main on_tick thread.
You can have look to this thread for a multi-threading example.

Swarochisha

@rakeshr

Thanks for this link.
I implemented the multi-threading in my logic. This should help me capture the ticks without missing any as I was blocking it from my module to execute strategy.

However, I do not think my original problem has anything to do with multi-threading.
Here are the 3 different combinations I tried from then till now:
1) I changed exchange=kite.EXCHANGE_NSE to exchange=kite.EXCHANGE_NFO
2) I used exchange_token instead of the instrument_token.
3) I reverted to instrument_token while retaining exchange=kite.EXCHANGE_NFO.

None of the above combinations above made any difference. I still get the message'Invalid Instrument'

Please suggest.

Then it might be the tradingsymbol that is wrong. Are you sure you are sending the valid tradingsymbol?

Swarochisha

@sujith
Yes.I am sending the correct trading symbol. As I mentioned above,I tried sending both instrument_token as well as exchange_token. Niether worked.

Looks like instrument_token is the correct one to send anyway. This is confirmed as I take an export of the active position from the Pi Console "Admin Position" tab onto an excel. The instrument_token is the one listed over there, and not the exchange token.

Can you paste the complete log of request and response here?

The below is the definition of the dictionary:

options_trade_dict = {"instrument":256265,"CE":11879426,"PE":11880450,"exchange_CE":46404,"exchange_PE":46408,"lotsize":75}

{"instrument":256265,"CE":11879426,"PE":11880450,"exchange_CE":46404,"exchange_PE":46408,"lotsize":75}

You seem to be sending a NIFTY 50 instrument token for a tradingsymbol value. You need to send tradingsymbol like NIFTY20FEB11700PE while placing an order.

Swarochisha

Yeah !!!

Thanks a lot for this. My code is fine now. I am able to place orders. Totally 8 trading sessions went off trying to figure this out, as I do not know of any other way to run the code and get a feedback.

Is there a sandbox where I can run my python based strategies off-the market hours?

Have a great day.

sujith

We don't have a sandbox environment as of now.

Swarochisha

Thanks @sujith and @rakeshr for the help.
