Place checked order

post

https://api.snaptrade.com/api/v1/trade/{tradeId}

Places the previously checked order with the brokerage. The tradeId is obtained from the check order impact endpoint. If you prefer to place the order without checking for impact first, you can use the place order endpoint.

It's recommended to trigger a manual refresh of the account after placing an order to ensure the account is up to date. You can use the manual refresh endpoint for this.
