Request​

Body

required
    processBefore

    The time before which the request should be processed, otherwise it is rejected.

    orderType stringrequired

    Possible values: [lmt, post, ioc, mkt, stp, take_profit, trailing_stop]

    The order type:

    • lmt - a limit order
    • post - a post-only limit order
    • mkt - an immediate-or-cancel order with 1% price protection
    • stp - a stop order
    • take_profit - a take profit order
    • ioc - an immediate-or-cancel order
    • trailing_stop - a trailing stop order
    symbol stringrequired

    The symbol of the Futures

    side stringrequired

    Possible values: [buy, sell]

    The direction of the order

    size numberrequired

    The size associated with the order. Note that different Futures have different contract sizes.

    limitPrice number

    The limit price associated with the order. Note that for stop orders, limitPrice denotes the worst price at which the stp or take_profit order can get filled at. If no limitPrice is provided the stp or take_profit order will trigger a market order. If placing a trailing_stop order then leave undefined.

    stopPrice number

    The stop price associated with a stop or take profit order.

    Required if orderType is stp or take_profit, but if placing a trailing_stop then leave undefined. Note that for stop orders, limitPrice denotes the worst price at which the stp or take_profit order can get filled at. If no limitPrice is provided the stp or take_profit order will trigger a market order.

    cliOrdId string

    The order identity that is specified from the user. It must be globally unique.

    triggerSignal string

    Possible values: [mark, spot, last]

    If placing a stp, take_profit or trailing_stop, the signal used for trigger.

    • mark - the mark price
    • index - the index price
    • last - the last executed trade
    reduceOnly boolean

    Set as true if you wish the order to only reduce an existing position.

    Any order which increases an existing position will be rejected. Default false.

    trailingStopMaxDeviation number

    Required if the order type is trailing_stop. Maximum value of 50%, minimum value of 0.1% for 'PERCENT' 'maxDeviationUnit'.

    Is the maximum distance the trailing stop's trigger price may trail behind the requested trigger signal. It defines the threshold at which the trigger price updates.

    trailingStopDeviationUnit string

    Possible values: [PERCENT, QUOTE_CURRENCY]

    Required if the order type is trailing_stop.

    This defines how the trailing trigger price is calculated from the requested trigger signal. For example, if the max deviation is set to 10, the unit is 'PERCENT', and the underlying order is a sell, then the trigger price will never be more then 10% below the trigger signal. Similarly, if the deviation is 100, the unit is 'QUOTE_CURRENCY', the underlying order is a sell, and the contract is quoted in USD, then the trigger price will never be more than $100 below the trigger signal.

    limitPriceOffsetValue number

    Can only be set for triggers, e.g. order types take_profit, stop and trailing_stop. If set, limitPriceOffsetUnit must be set as well. This defines a relative limit price depending on the trigger stopPrice. The price is determined when the trigger is activated by the triggerSignal. The offset can be positive or negative, there might be restrictions on the value depending on the limitPriceOffsetUnit.

    limitPriceOffsetUnit string

    Possible values: [QUOTE_CURRENCY, PERCENT]

    Can only be set together with limitPriceOffsetValue. This defines the unit for the relative limit price distance from the trigger's stopPrice.
