Place and cancel a pending order

A pending order rests in the market until its trigger price is reached. It consumes no margin until it fills.

1. Token​

TOKEN="<access_token>"   # see the Open & close recipe for step-by-step

2. Place a BUY LIMIT​

Pending order types: 1 BUY LIMIT, 2 BUY STOP, 3 SELL LIMIT, 4 SELL STOP. order_price is the trigger.

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.onlytradeplatform.com/api/v1/orders/accounts/me \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  --header "content-type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "symbol_id": 26100001,
    "type": 1,
    "volume": 0.10,
    "order_price": 1.07500,
    "stop_loss": 1.07000,
    "take_profit": 1.09000,
    "fill_policy": 0
  }'

3. List pending orders​

curl --request GET \
  --url "https://api.onlytradeplatform.com/api/v1/orders/accounts/me?active=true" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Note the id of your order (e.g. 260610013).

4. Cancel it​

Cancelling a pending order is a POST to the order's /accounts/me path:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.onlytradeplatform.com/api/v1/orders/260610013/accounts/me \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

The order leaves the market; nothing changes on your balance or margin.

To modify (instead of cancel) a pending order, use PUT /api/v1/orders/{order_id}/accounts/me with the new price/volume — see the API Reference.
