Place an order

{
  "exchange": "NSE",
  "tradingsymbol": "INFY",
  "transaction_type": "BUY",
  "quantity": 1,
  "price": 1500,
  "product": "CNC",
  "order_type": "LIMIT",
  "validity": "DAY",
  "variety": "regular",
  "tag": "agent-run-001"
}

kite orders place --file ./order.json --json --no-color
kite orders place --variety amo --file ./order.json --json --no-color

Variety precedence: a variety field in the JSON overrides the --variety option. If neither is set, the CLI defaults to regular.

Modify an order

Only put the fields you want to change:

{
  "quantity": 1,
  "price": 1501,
  "order_type": "LIMIT",
  "validity": "DAY"
}

kite orders modify regular <order-id> --file ./order-modify.json --json --no-color
kite orders modify co     <order-id> --parent-order-id <parent-order-id> --file ./order-modify.json --json --no-color

Cancel an order

kite orders cancel regular <order-id> --json --no-color
kite orders cancel co     <order-id> --parent-order-id <parent-order-id> --json --no-color

Supported order fields

The CLI passes supported fields through to Kite as form fields. Booleans become "true" / "false". Numbers become invariant strings. Nested arrays/objects are JSON-stringified. Empty/null fields are dropped before sending.

Common field set (from Kite Connect v3):

exchange, tradingsymbol, transaction_type, quantity, price, product, order_type, validity, disclosed_quantity, trigger_price, squareoff, stoploss, trailing_stoploss, validity_ttl, iceberg_legs, iceberg_quantity, auction_number, market_protection, autoslice, tag.
