WSSws-auth.kraken.comeditOrder
Sends a request to edit the order parameters of a live order. When an order has been successfully modified, the original order will be cancelled and a new order will be created with the adjusted parameters and a new txid will be returned in the response.
The newer amendOrder endpoint resolves the caveats listed below and has additional performance gains.There are a number of caveats for editOrder:
  • editOrder cannot be used on partially filled orders.
  • editOrder is a cancel and replace, so queue priority is not maintained.
  • editOrder generates a new txid for the order.
