Setting `expiry` on LimitOrderRequest #125

Closed trevorwelch closed 6 years ago

trevorwelch commented 6 years ago

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how to place an expiry date on all the limit orders I place.

Has anyone had any luck with this? I don't see anything in the documentation about it.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi,

All documentation on the V20 REST API is found on developer.oanda.com. The oandapyV20 library supports all parameters you find in the docs.

So, regarding your specfic question: http://developer.oanda.com/rest-live-v20/order-df/#OrderRequest gives details on order requests.

You should use timeInForce and set it to GTD and you pass gtdTime with a date assigned when you want it to expire.

take a look at: http://oanda-api-v20.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contrib/orders/limitorderrequest.html

it shows an example with the defaults. So just change the 2 parameters and it is done.
