Place order doesnt work always

[mahasamrat]

Hi,

I am trying to place order, but I am getting the exception.

    orderparams = {
        "variety": "NORMAL",
        "tradingsymbol": "NBCC-EQ",
        "symboltoken": "31415",
        "transactiontype": "BUY",
        "exchange": "NSE",
        "ordertype": "LIMIT",
        "producttype": "INTRADAY",
        "duration": "DAY",
        "price": "MARKET",
        "squareoff": "0",
        "stoploss": "0",
        "quantity": "1"
        }

Kindly help

smartapi.smartExceptions.DataException: Couldn't parse the JSON response received from the server: b''

HI @mahasamrat put it 0.

@admin If order type is market,

"ordertype":"MARKET",

what is the need to mention the price in order?

"price":"421"

What I mean to say is, while placing auto orders, prices can be changed. Is there any way with which "price" field can be based on market value ?
In that case we don't require to give the price?

@mahasamrat said in Place order doesnt work always:

"price": "MARKET",

I tried various options, when I enter

"price": "MARKET",

it wont take. why we cant place order on market price?
