Place a manual MARKET or LIMIT order on the desk — fills NOW at the honest
live quote (market) or rests + reserves buying power (limit), in ONE book.

account — see _authorize_desk.

## Path parameters

## Request body

- ManualOrderRequest: POST /v1/me/accounts/{id}/orders — a manual MARKET or LIMIT order. Shares: {kind:'shares', side:'buy'|'sell', symbol, qty} Option: {kind:'option', legs:[{contract, side, qty}, ...]} (1 leg = single, 2+ = combo) order_type='limit' + limit_price → the order RESTS and reserves buying power (B8-T2); the matcher fills it limit-or-better when the live quote crosses. A limit order supports shares (buy/sell) and a SINGLE option leg.
