Lines of code within on_ticks

Hi All, this is more like a general query.

1.Is there any general rule of thumb about just how many lines of code you can put inside the on_ticks() before it start hampering execution. or how long is too long a code?
2. The place_order() has got 13 parameters, is it necessary to provide all of these when I place an order? Are there any ref for the min required parameters for each order_type?
3. Is there a way to fetch order_status directly other than slicing through the kite.orders() data?

Thanks!

Is there any general rule of thumb about just how many lines of code you can put inside the on_ticks() before it start hampering execution. or how long is too long a code?

It's not recommended to do any computation inside on_ticks thread. You
can go through Websocket Streaming FAQs here.

The place_order() has got 13 parameters, is it necessary to provide all of these when I place an order? Are there any ref for the min required parameters for each order_type?

You can refer sample example and detail about all order param here. Order param input depends on required order variety.

Is there a way to fetch order_status directly other than slicing through the kite.orders() data?

Yes, you can fetch individual order status from Order Historical end-point, with required order_id.

Thanks @rakeshr for the response!

Is there a python function call for Order Historical end-point, similar to place_order ?

@rakeshr on the order parameters,

When I place a kite.VARIETY_REGULAR and order_type kite.ORDER_TYPE_SL I need to pass trigger_price param.

But when I place the same order but this time as kite.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT do I still need to pass trigger_price = None or can I completely take out this trigger_price param?

did that make sense?

Similarly for all different verities and order_types, do you have any ref for the min required parameters?

Yes, for python client you can refer to this method.

But when I place the same order but this time as kite.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT do I still need to pass trigger_price = None or can I completely take out this trigger_price param?

Yes, you don't need to send those params/completely take out.

Similarly for all different verities and order_types, do you have any ref for the min required parameters?

You can go through these articles to understand different order varieties.
