Using Trading methods

Place equity and complex option trades including advanced orders.

Implementation

For all the trading related usages, make sure you include the Trading Model namespace:

using Tradier.Client.Models.Trading;

If you set a default account number in the client, it is not needed to add an account number in the parameters for Trading methods.

Place Equity Order

Place an order to trade equity security.

IOrder order = await client.Trading.PlaceEquityOrder(accountNumber, "AAPL", "buy", 10, "market", "day");

Place Option Order

Place an order to trade a single option.

IOrder order = await client.Trading.PlaceOptionOrder(accountNumber, "SPY", "SPY140118C00195000", "buy_to_open", 10, "market", "day", preview: true);

Place Multileg Order

Place a multileg order with up to 4 legs.

The property legs is a List<(string, string, int)>, where the items are for:

Item #	Type	Property
Item 1	string	option symbol
Item 2	string	side
Item 3	int	quantity

IOrder order = 
    await client.Trading.PlaceMultilegOrder(accountNumber, "MFA", "credit", "day", new List<(string, string, int)> { ("AAPL", "buy", 10), ("IBM", "buy", 5) }, 1.00);

Place Combo Order

Place a combo order. This is a specialized type of order consisting of one equity leg and one option leg. It can optionally include a second option leg, for some strategies.

The property legs is a List<(string, string, int)>, where the items are for:

Item #	Type	Property
Item 1	string	option symbol
Item 2	string	side
Item 3	int	quantity

IOrder order = 
    await client.Trading.PlaceComboOrder(accountNumber, "MFA", "credit", "day", new List<(string, string, int)> { ("AAPL", "buy", 10), ("IBM", "buy", 5) }, 1.00);

Place OTO Order

Place a one-triggers-other order. This order type is composed of two separate orders sent simultaneously. The property keys of each order are indexed.

The property legs is a List<(string, int, string, string, string, double?, double?)>, where the items are for:

Item #	Type	Property	Required
Item 1	string	symbol	required
Item 2	int	quantity	required
Item 3	string	type	required
Item 4	string	option symbol	required
Item 5	string	side	required
Item 6	double	price	optional
Item 7	double	stop	optional

IOrder order = 
    await client.Trading.PlaceOtoOrder(accountNumber, "day", new List<(string, int, string, string, string, double?, double?)> { ("SPY", 10, "limit", "SPY190605C00282000", "buy_to_open", 1.00, 1.00) });

Item 1	string	symbol	required
Item 2	int	quantity	required
Item 3	string	type	required
Item 4	string	option symbol	required
Item 5	string	side	required
Item 6	double	price	optional
Item 7	double	stop	optional

IOrder order = 
    await client.Trading.PlaceOcoOrder(accountNumber, "day", new List<(string, int, string, string, string, double?, double?)> { ("SPY", 10, "limit", "SPY190605C00282000", "buy_to_open", 1.00, 1.00) });

Place OTOCO Order

Place a one-triggers-one-cancels-other order. This order type is composed of three separate orders sent simultaneously. The property keys of each order are indexed.

The property legs is a List<(string, int, string, string, string, double?, double?)>, where the items are for:

Item #	Type	Property	Required
Item 1	string	symbol	required
Item 2	int	quantity	required
Item 3	string	type	required
Item 4	string	option symbol	required
Item 5	string	side	required
Item 6	double	price	optional
Item 7	double	stop	optional

IOrder order = 
    await client.Trading.PlaceOtocoOrder(accountNumber, "day", new List<(string, int, string, string, string, double?, double?)> { ("SPY", 10, "limit", "SPY190605C00282000", "buy_to_open", 1.00, 1.00) });
