Defining another function for placing order

SAPANKHUNTIA

Hi traders and coders.

I want to define a function for placing order, that will take a few arguments and all other arguments will be predefined in the function

def place_an_order(name,price, no_of_shares,transac_type):
     order_id = kite.place_order(
            tradingsymbol = name,
            price = price,
            variety = kite.VARIETY_REGULAR,
            exchange = kite.EXCHANGE_NSE,
            transaction_type = transac_type,
            quantity = no_of_shares,
            product = kite.PRODUCT_MIS,
            order_type = kite.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT)
            
     print(order_id)

But it is showing some error. But when I call the simple kite.place_order, it is running fine.

Can anyone please suggest how to do that.

Thank you.

The above code looks fine. What was the error? Can you paste the complete error stack trace here?

Hi @rakeshr.

I am calling the function like this

place_an_order(name= name, price=ltp, Transac_type=kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_BUY, no_of_shares=initial_amount)

But when its time to place an order. this thing shows up without placing an order.

DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:Starting new HTTPS connection (1): api.kite.trade:443
DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:https://api.kite.trade:443 "GET /portfolio/positions HTTP/1.1" 200 None

Kindly tell me what this means. and how to sort this problem out.
Thank you.

GET /portfolio/positions HTTP/1.1" 200 None

From the above log, it looks like you are making a position API request. Maybe you can re-check your code, regarding this.

Hi @rakeshr

But when I check my ac after this message there is no open position or no order request. Any suggestion will be very helpful.

Thank you.
