PlaceOrder question

[medaramesh]

Hi Its actually question.
I have used placeOrder and it went through successfully. But how do I know the order is placed. Does this api return order id or status ? or Do I need to run fetchorders to verify ?
or I can set my own orderid to placeorder so that I can fetch by orderid to verify the existence ?

From what I’ve seen, after you place an order, you need to sleep for a second or so, and then run fetch orders. Because the place order call returns immediately, but the order is placed on a queue on TDA’s side, it can’t return the completed order right away. So you have to wait and then fetch it again, possibly polling until you know it’s completed.

Thanks a lot. It seems response to placeOrder has header information called Location in the below format. https://api.tdameritrade.com/v1/accounts/AccountId/orders/OrderID. But PlaceOrder is not returning response. It would be helpful if provide a method to get orderid. Any how Big Thanks for this library. Its really useful. Thanks is a small word
