Unable to place order for certain scrips

swas99

Hi,

I am getting an InputException when placing buy orders for ['SUBEX', 'TATASTEELPP'] (both BSE).
Error:

Unknown `tradingsymbol`.
com.zerodhatech.kiteconnect.kitehttp.exceptions.InputException

Buy/Sell for `TATASTLPP-E1` (NSE) is working fine.

I have seen this error for few other scrips as well. Is this intentional?

Can you send the complete stacktrace with debug logs?

That's all the message returned by KiteClient.
e.message =

"Unknown `tradingsymbol`."

e.printStackTrace() =

com.zerodhatech.kiteconnect.kitehttp.exceptions.InputException
	at com.zerodhatech.kiteconnect.kitehttp.KiteResponseHandler.dealWithException(KiteResponseHandler.java:54)
	at com.zerodhatech.kiteconnect.kitehttp.KiteResponseHandler.handle(KiteResponseHandler.java:20)
	at com.zerodhatech.kiteconnect.kitehttp.KiteRequestHandler.postRequest(KiteRequestHandler.java:85)
	at com.zerodhatech.kiteconnect.KiteConnect.placeOrder(KiteConnect.java:282)

I can log e.code next time.

You need to enable debug logs and check what are the params you are sending.
You can check out the example here.

I have the params sent to kite:
Rejected KiteOrder:
orderType: BUY
symbol: UDAICEMENT
priceE2: 2494
dPrice: 24.95
quantity: 401
ERROR: Unknown `tradingsymbol`.
KiteErrorCode: 400
___________________________________________________________
orderParams.orderType = Constants.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT;
orderParams.tradingsymbol = symbol.trim();
orderParams.product = Constants.PRODUCT_CNC;
orderParams.exchange = Constants.EXCHANGE_NSE;
orderParams.transactionType = orderType.trim();
orderParams.validity = Constants.VALIDITY_DAY;
orderParams.price = dPrice;
orderParams.tag = tag;
Order order = kiteConnect.placeOrder(orderParams, Constants.VARIETY_REGULAR);

Never-mind, found the issue.

I was hard-coding `orderParams.exchange = Constants.EXCHANGE_NSE;` while placing the order, whereas using kite's `instrument_id` at other places.

Thanks anyway.
