Order placement failed - list index out of range

DeepakTanpure · October 2020

Hi Team,

last Thursday (8-Oct), I got error after placing the order, - it said list index out of range

14:35:20 NSE POWERGRID SELL 6 regular LIMIT 158.8 MIS Order placed. ID is: 201008004111510
14:35:20 Order placement failed: list index out of range

I checked order book, order was successful, can you please explain in which case we get this error

list index out of range

Looks like your internal error. Are you parsing any list post order placement?

Here is the code used for those print line

try:
    order_id = kite.place_order(tradingsymbol=instrument[4:],
                                exchange=instrument[0:3],
                                transaction_type=kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_BUY,
                                quantity=c_qty,
                                variety=kite.VARIETY_REGULAR,
                                order_type=kite.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT,
                                price=ltp,
                                product=kite.PRODUCT_MIS)
    print(datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S"),
          instrument[0:3], instrument[4:], kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_BUY, c_qty,
          kite.VARIETY_REGULAR, kite.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT, ltp, kite.PRODUCT_MIS,
          "Order placed. ID is:{}".format(order_id))
except Exception as ex3:
    print('datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S"), "Order placement failed: {}".format(ex3))

The code looks fine. Got placement id too,which got printed by print statement MIS Order placed. ID is: 201008004111510. And there is nothing post-print statement to throw an exception.

Hi Rakesh,

Thanks for double checking, I appreciate your help
it's my mistake. Error was due to another dict variable that was caught in try block,

you can close this thread.

Howdy, Stranger!
