function placeBracketOrder(account, exchange, symbol, tradeType, orderType, quantity, price, triggerPrice, target, stoploss, trailingStoploss, validate)
Example 1
orderId = placeBracketOrder(AT_ACCOUNT, AT_EXCHANGE, AT_SYMBOL, "BUY", "LIMIT", AT_QUANTITY, buyPrice, defaultTriggerPrice(), 5, 3, 1, True);
This example will place a Limit Bracket order for Account, Exchange & Symbol chosen in chart parameters. With a target of 5/-, stoploss of 3/- and trailing stoploss of 1/-.
Some variables used in above code are parameters defined by AutoTrader library.
Example 2
// Place bracket order (Limit)
orderId = placeBracketOrder("ACC_NAME",
"NSE", "WIPRO", "BUY",
"LIMIT", 15, buyPrice,
defaultTriggerPrice(), 5, 3, 1, True);
This example will place Limit Bracket order for Account (ACC_NAME), Exchange (NSE) & Symbol (WIPRO) with quantity 15. With a target of 5/-, stoploss of 3/- and trailing stoploss of 1/-.
We have placed a LIMIT order; hence we have used a function called defaultTriggerPrice(), which return zero price.
Here we did not use chart parameters, instead we passed the values directly.
Example 3
// Apply your logic to calculate stoploss trigger price
stoplossTriggerPrice = buyPrice - 5;
// Place bracket order (Stoploss)
orderId = placeBracketOrder("ACC_NAME",
"NSE", "WIPRO", "BUY",
"STOP_LOSS", 15, buyPrice,
stoplossTriggerPrice, 5, 3, 1, True);
This example will place Stoploss Bracket order for Account (ACC_NAME), Exchange (NSE) & Symbol (WIPRO) with quantity 15. With a target of 5/-, stoploss of 3/- and trailing stoploss of 1/-.
We have placed a STOP_LOSS order; hence we have passed a triggerPrice.
Signature
string placeBracketOrder(string account, Exchange exchange, string symbol, TradeType tradeType, OrderType orderType, int quantity, double price, double triggerPrice, double target, double stoploss, double trailingStoploss, bool validate)
Example 1
string id = placeBracketOrder(AT_ACCOUNT,
AT_EXCHANGE, AT_SYMBOL, BUY, LIMIT, 1,
192, 0.0, 5, 3, 1, true);
This example will place a Limit Bracket order for Account, Exchange & Symbol chosen in chart parameters. With a target of 5/-, stoploss of 3/- and trailing stoploss of 1/-.
Some variables used in above code are parameters defined by AutoTrader library.
Example 2
// Apply your logic to calculate stoploss trigger price stoplossTriggerPrice = buyPrice - 5; // Place bracket order (Stoploss) string id = placeBracketOrder(AT_ACCOUNT, NSE, "WIPRO", BUY, STOP_LOSS, 15, buyPrice, stoplossTriggerPrice, 5, 3, 1, true);
This example will place Stoploss Bracket order for Account (ACC_NAME), Exchange (NSE) & Symbol (WIPRO) with quantity 15. With a target of 5/-, stoploss of 3/- and trailing stoploss of 1/-.
We have placed a STOP_LOSS order; hence we have passed a triggerPrice.

Example
// Place a bracket order

.placeBracketOrder("ACC_NAME", "NSE", "SBIN",
TradeType.BUY, OrderType.LIMIT,

// Read order id
String orderId = null;
if (response.success()) {
orderId = response.getResult();
} else {
final String errorMessage = response.getMessage();
}
This will place a bracket order into your trading account that is mapped to the passed pseudo account. The function will return a response object.
Response object has a function called success(), which returns true on successful execution.
We can then use the method getResult() to access order_id given by your trading platform.
