Orders

This is where the magic happens. Create an order in order to buy or sell stocks, ETFs, bonds or derivates (all are so called instruments)

Let's start by creating your order. 
You can create a order using one of those types:
Type
Description
market
Market Order: The order will be executed on the next possible price.
stop_market 
Stop Market Order: once the stop price is hit, the order will be converted to a market order. Then, the order will be executed immediately on the next price.
limit
Limit Order: The order will be executed once the limit price is reached.
stop_limit
Stop Limit Order: once the stop price is hit, the order will be converted to a limit order. Then, the order will be executed once the limit price is reached.
You do not have to specify an order type. 
For instance, if you provide only a stop_price, the order is a stop_market order. If you provide both a stop_price and a limit_price, the order will be a stop_limit order. If you only provide the limit_price, the order will be a limit order. If you provide nothing, the order will be executed as a market order on the next available price.

CREATE an Order
https://api.lemon.markets/rest/v1/accounts/{account_uuid}/orders/
In order to create an order pass the body parameters as a JSON object to the API.

After your order was executed, you will find a corresponding cash transaction in your account (accounts/{account_uuid}/transactions/ endpoint)

{
  "limit_price": 399.12,
  "type": "limit",
  "instrument": "US88160R1014",
  "valid_until": 1601510400,
  "quantity": 10,
  "side": "buy",
  "status": "open",
  "uuid": "1ab5f64-5678-2221-b3fc-2c963f26afa6",
}
If you create an order, the cash_to_invest (queryable on the /accounts/{account_uuid}/state/ endpoint or on the dashboard) will decrease. 

For instance, if you create an order for 6x Daimler with limit price 40€, your cash_to_invest will decrease by 240€. 
If you create a market order, a risk premium of 10% will always be put on top of the latest price for the instrument. E.g. if Tesla is at 400€ and you want to buy it using a market order, your cash_to_invest would decrease by 440€ (10% risk premium).

There are more fields on the GET endpoint:
- processed_quantity (can be less than "quantity" e.g. due to a partial execution)
- processed_at (date on which the order was executed)
- average_price (due to partial execution, the execution price might vary; e.g. buy 3 stocks for 43€ and 3 stocks for 42€, the execution price would be 42.50€)
