    Guess, market order is not supported by default.

    To achieve it, you can try placing (Buy) limit price > market price, should get executed at best market price.

    Hi @harjee,
    Check out example to place order here.
    It has example for stop-loss, to place market order just change order type to MARKET

    My bad! I just signed for KiteConnect today. Didn't know that MARKET order type is available. Guess, I mixed it up with BO, which does not support MARKET order type.

    Hi @harjee,
    You can send price as 0 and don't send trigger_price field.
