Signature

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.

IOperationResponse<String> placeBracketOrder(
	String pseudoAccount, String exchange, String symbol,
	TradeType tradeType, OrderType orderType, int quantity, 
	float price, float triggerPrice, float target, 
	float stoploss, float trailingStoploss);

Example

// Place a bracket order   
final IOperationResponse<String> response = autotrader
	.placeBracketOrder("ACC_NAME", "NSE", "SBIN", 
		TradeType.BUY, OrderType.LIMIT, 
		10, 180.5f, 0f, 5f, 2.5f, 1f);

// 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.
