function placeCoverOrder(account, exchange, 
	symbol, tradeType, orderType, 
	quantity, price, triggerPrice, validate)

Example 1

// Apply your logic to calculate stoploss trigger price
stoplossTriggerPrice = buyPrice - 5;

// Place cover order
orderId = placeCoverOrder(AT_ACCOUNT, AT_EXCHANGE, 
	AT_SYMBOL, "BUY", "LIMIT", AT_QUANTITY, 
	buyPrice, stoplossTriggerPrice, True);

This example will place a Cover order for Account, Exchange & Symbol chosen in chart parameters.

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 cover order (Limit)
orderId = placeCoverOrder("ACC_NAME", "NSE", 
	"SBIN", "BUY", "LIMIT", 10, 
	buyPrice, stoplossTriggerPrice, True);

This example will place Cover order for Account (ACC_NAME), Exchange (NSE) & Symbol (SBIN) with quantity 10. We have placed a LIMIT order.

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 cover order (Market)
orderId = placeCoverOrder("ACC_NAME", "NSE", 
	"SBIN", "BUY", "MARKET", 10, 
	0, stoplossTriggerPrice, True);

This example will place Cover order for Account (ACC_NAME), Exchange (NSE) & Symbol (SBIN) with quantity 10. We have placed a MARKET order; hence the order price is zero.

Signature

string placeCoverOrder(string account, 
	Exchange exchange, string symbol, 
	TradeType tradeType, OrderType orderType, 
	int quantity, double price, 
	double triggerPrice, bool validate)

Example

// Apply your logic to calculate stoploss trigger price
double stoplossTriggerPrice = buyPrice - 5;

// Place cover order
string id = placeCoverOrder(AT_ACCOUNT, 
	AT_EXCHANGE, AT_SYMBOL, BUY, LIMIT, 1, 
	192, stoplossTriggerPrice, true);

This example will place a Cover order for Account, Exchange & Symbol chosen in chart parameters.

Some variables used in above code are parameters defined by AutoTrader library.

Example 2

// Apply your logic to calculate stoploss trigger price
double stoplossTriggerPrice = buyPrice - 5;
 
// Place cover order (Market)
orderId = placeCoverOrder("XX2030", 
    NSE, "SBIN", BUY, MARKET, 10, 
    0, stoplossTriggerPrice, true);

This example will place Cover order for Account (XX2030), Exchange (NSE) & Symbol (SBIN) with quantity 10. We have placed a MARKET order; hence the order price is zero.

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

Example

// Place a cover order
final IOperationResponse<String> response = 
	autotrader.placeCoverOrder("ACC_NAME", 
	"NSE", "SBIN", TradeType.BUY, OrderType.LIMIT, 
	10, 180.5f, 180f);
	
// Read order id
String orderId = null;
if (response.success()) {
	orderId = response.getResult();
} else {
	final String errorMessage = response.getMessage();
}

This will place a cover 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.
