Place checked equity order

Places the previously checked order with the brokerage. The tradeId is obtained from the check order impact endpoint. If you prefer to place the order without checking for impact first, you can use the place order endpoint.

It's recommended to trigger a manual refresh of the account after placing an order to ensure the account is up to date. You can use the manual refresh endpoint for this.

post/trade/{tradeId}

Path parameters

tradeIdstring uuid required

Unique identifier for the submitted order through SnapTrade.

Example:139e307a-82f7-4402-b39e-4da7baa87758

Obtained from calling the check order impact endpoint

Query parameters

userIdstring required

SnapTrade User ID. This is chosen by the API partner and can be any string that is a) unique to the user, and b) immutable for the user. It is recommended to NOT use email addresses for this property because they are usually not immutable.

Example:snaptrade-user-123
userSecretstring required

SnapTrade User Secret. This is a randomly generated string and should be stored securely. If compromised, please rotate it via the rotate user secret endpoint.

Example:adf2aa34-8219-40f7-a6b3-60156985cc61

Request body

wait_to_confirmboolean nullable

Optional, defaults to true. Determines if a wait is performed to check on order status. If false, latency will be reduced but orders returned will be more likely to be of status PENDING as we will not wait to check on the status before responding to the request.

Example request

{
  "wait_to_confirm": true
}

Response

  • CANCEL_PENDING
  • EXECUTED

The action describes the intent or side of a trade. This is usually BUY or SELL but can include other potential values like the following depending on the specific brokerage.

  • BUY

  • BUY_COVER
  • SELL_SHORT
  • BUY_OPEN
  • BUY_CLOSE
  • SELL_OPEN

canceled_quantitystring nullable

The number of shares or contracts that have been canceled. Can be a decimal number for fractional shares.

filled_quantitystring nullable

The number of shares or contracts that have been filled. Can be a decimal number for fractional shares.

execution_pricestring decimal nullable

The price at which the order was executed. For option orders, this represents the price per share.

order_typestring nullable

The type of order placed. The most common values are Market, Limit, Stop, and StopLimit. We try our best to map brokerage order types to these values. When mapping fails, we will return the brokerage's order type value.

time_in_forcestring

The Time in Force type for the order. This field indicates how long the order will remain active before it is executed or expires. We try our best to map brokerage time in force values to the following. When mapping fails, we will return the brokerage's time in force value.

  • Day - Day. The order is valid only for the trading day on which it is placed.
  • GTC - Good Til Canceled. The order is valid until it is executed or canceled.
  • FOK - Fill Or Kill. The order must be executed in its entirety immediately or be canceled completely.
  • IOC - Immediate Or Cancel. The order must be executed immediately. Any portion of the order that cannot be filled immediately will be canceled.
