I am not sure if my OCO order has all the correct fields. I am trying to test this, but I get an Invalid JSON: illegal number, offset: 0x00000114 JSON error. I am using Python examples from supahcullen/**[Tradovate-Python-Client]. I have this one script I created for a StopOrder with a StopLoss and TakeProfit for testing.
Here is the code. Some variable values are imported and not shown.
#Place TV Stop limit order
import requests
from GetAccessToken import getAccessToken
from config import *
import time
Be careful with this one! It will submit an order!
buysell must be either “Sell” or “Buy”
def placeStopLimitOrder(live, Qty, buysell, orderPrice, stoploss, takeProfit, token):
“”"Places StopLimit order with quantity “Qty”, direction “buysell”, price “orderPrice”, and includes StopLoss and TakeProfit
Args:
live (bool): True = live, False = demo
Qty (int): Quantity of contracts you want to buy
buysell (string): "Buy" or "Sell"
orderPrice (int): Price you want the order at
stoploss (double): Stop Price
takeProfit (double): Take Profit Price
token (string): User's access token
Returns:
int: orderId of order you just placed

ocoDirection = ""
if buysell == "Buy":
ocoDircetion = "Sell"
else:
ocoDirection = "Buy"
header = {
'Authorization': f'Bearer ${token}',
'Accept': 'application/json'
}
if live:
url = "https://live.tradovateapi.com/v1/order/placeorder"
accId = LIVE_ACCOUNT_ID
else:
url = "https://demo.tradovateapi.com/v1/order/placeorder"
accId = DEMO_ACCOUNT_ID
order = {

"accountId": accId, //imported value

}
}
# Make request
res = requests.post(url, headers=header, data=order)
# Error stuff
if res.status_code != 200:
print("StopLimit Order Failed")
print(res.text)
print(res.status_code)
print(res.reason)
print(order)
orderId = res.json()['orderId']
return orderId
This is the error I get back.

What am I missing??
