Orders not being filled? about pyrh HOT 10 CLOSED

@nlowell11 can you provide more information with how you're placing the order via your script? A code snippet and return response would be helpful.

from pyrh.

@nlowell11 If the order was visible in the app, perhaps this is simply a matter of the market moving away from your order price quickly? Did the stock gap? RH automatically wraps "market" orders in a limit order with a 5% buffer.

from pyrh.

Thank you for the help so far.
@sirusss I do not have my code in front of me right now, but it is basically a very simple modification of the example code, something like:
my_trader.place_buy_order(stock_instrument,1)
where stock_instrument is "AMD". I will post the exact code later today. I will also grab the response and post it as well.
@bdowling The price moved less than 5% at market open, so I do not think this was caused by a stock gap.

Hi all, I noticed something similar to @nlowell11 where I execute the following code after hours and I see the orders in the app as 'queued'. The next day, I see the items in the app as 'placed' but they're not in my list of stocks I own. The price definitely did not fluctuate even close to 5%. If this is a market order, why isn't it placed right at market open?

from Robinhood import Robinhood

my_trader = Robinhood();

my_trader.login(username="YOUR_USERNAME", password="YOUR_PASSWORD")

stock_instrument = my_trader.instruments("ZNGA")[0]

buy_order = my_trader.place_buy_order(stock_instrument, 1)

from pyrh.

@sirusss

My code:

my_trader = Robinhood()
my_trader.login(username="XXXXXXXXX", password="XXXXXXXXX")
stock_instrument = my_trader.instruments("AMD")[0]
response = my_trader.place_buy_order(stock_instrument, 1)

I've tried to grab relevant parts of the response, but this is only from an after-hours test, so I'm not sure if market hours would be the same (will check tomorrow):
response.ok: True
response.status_code: 201

@nlowell11 I'm sorry, I forgot about this issue, I've been working with my own branches for so long.

The current HEAD I believe is still placing market orders with a bid_price of 0. This obviously would not work.

When submitting an order to Robinhood, the client needs to still provide the current bid_price to the API. My branch in #62 and subsequent https://github.com/bdowling/Robinhood/tree/fix_place_order_and_waymore_module_rename includes the current bid_price in the order.

Thanks @bdowling. To be honest, I am still a bit of a novice with git/github, I had also totally forgotten I was using an older version of this code. Do you think this is still a valid issue to leave open on this repo?

I will check out your branch.

As an aside, do you know of a way I could test this while the market is closed? I run the RH code from my home setup, and I am away from it during workdays. I imagine an example of a request you know to be successful would be very helpful to me.

Is there an enhancement for this issue?

from pyrh.

Just had this happen to me -- order was placed (got response <Response [201]>), but didn't get a fill. The stock I tried to buy was less than $1 so I thought that might be part of it, but doing the same thing through the app itself worked fine.

edit: happened again with a sell order. ended up getting canceled at day close

from pyrh.

Had the same for buy and sell market. All looks good - order is also in RH app - but not getting filled (status 'pending'). I switched to using limit orders and it works fine.
