Rest client submitOrder/getPositions instType #35

Closed pegaltier closed 8 months ago

pegaltier commented 11 months ago

I'm trying to use the Rest client but I see two issues so far:

client.submitOrder({...}) ==> works well but the order is executed on the SPOT market, how can i choose FUTURES instead?
client.getPositions({ instType: 'SPOT' }) ==> ERROR: {"code":"51000","data":[],"msg":"Parameter instType error"}.

Hi @pegaltier , I believe "positions" are a concept that exchanges typically don't associate with spot trading, you would need to track your own cost averages/positions while trading on spot markets. You can see in the api docs that "spot" is not a supported instType for this method: https://www.okx.com/docs-v5/en/#trading-account-rest-api-get-positions

Regarding futures, you would need to set the tdMode parameter. Spot markets are when submitting a market order with tdMode: 'cash'
