duration	how long will the trade stay open without a fill: DAY, GOOD_TILL_CANCEL, FILL_OR_KILL
stopPriceBasis	LAST, BID, or ASK which is the basis for a STOP, STOP_LIMIT, or TRAILING_STOP
stopPriceType	the link to the stopPriceBasis. VALUE for dollar difference or PERCENT for a percentage offset from the price basis
stopPriceOffset	an integer that indicates the offset used for the stopPriceType, 10 and PERCENT is a 10 percent offset from the current price basis. 5 and VALUE is a 5 dollar offset from the current price basis

Details

This function will have similar inputs as schwab_placeOrder. Please see that function for more details.

The replace order function requires an open orderId as an input. This function requires the same ticker and direction as the previous order. This function will generate a new orderId and cancel the old orderId.

Value

the trade id, account id, and other order details

Warning

TRADES THAT ARE SUCCESSFULLY ENTERED WILL BE SUBMITTED IMMEDIATELY THERE IS NO REVIEW PROCESS. THIS FUNCTION HAS HUNDREDS OF POTENTIAL COMBINATIONS AND ONLY A HANDFUL HAVE BEEN TESTED. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO TEST THE DESIRED ORDER ON A VERY SMALL QUANTITY WITH LITTLE MONEY AT STAKE. ANOTHER OPTION IS TO USE LIMIT ORDERS FAR FROM THE CURRENT PRICE. TD AMERITRADE HAS THEIR OWN ERROR HANDLING BUT IF A SUCCESSFUL COMBINATION IS ENTERED IT COULD BE EXECUTED IMMEDIATELY. DOUBLE CHECK ALL ENTRIES BEFORE SUBMITTING.

# Get stored refresh token
refreshToken = readRDS('/secure/location/')

# generate a new access token
accessTokenList = schwab_auth3_accessToken('AppKey', 'AppSecret', refreshToken)

# Set Account Number
account_number = 1234567890

# Place order
buy_order = schwab_placeOrder(account_number = account_number,

                             instruction = 'buy')

# This will generate a new order ID
repl_order = schwab_replaceOrder(account_number = account_number,
