This function sends an order with input details for execution. Please note not all parameters are relevant for all types of orders. This function (as with rest of the package) does no error checks and post the trade request as is. It is left to the function calling this method to carry out necessary error checks. If the order is successfully posted, an order ID will be returned. A successfully posted order does not mean it is a valid order, and orders with erroneous user input can be immedeately cancelled. Therefore it is good practice to check the order details once an order ID is received from this call.

Returns an order ID (string), if successful.
