Prefer the current replacement endpoints where available. **Rate limit:** 20 requests per 60 seconds. This is a **shared quota** — the same budget is consumed by a group of related endpoints, so calling any of them reduces what is left for the others (you cannot call each at the full rate independently). Endpoints sharing this quota: - `DELETE /api/v1/trading/execution/limit-orders/{orderId}` - `DELETE /api/v1/trading/execution/market-close-orders/{orderId}` - `DELETE /api/v1/trading/execution/market-open-orders/{orderId}` - `DELETE /api/v2/trading/execution/orders/{orderId}` - `POST /api/v1/trading/execution/market-close-orders/positions/{positionId}` - `POST /api/v1/trading/execution/market-open-orders/by-amount` - `POST /api/v1/trading/execution/market-open-orders/by-units` - `POST /api/v2/trading/execution/orders` --- A Market-if-touched order is an order to open a new long or short position when a specific price or better appears in the Market. The price threshold is used to trigger a Market Order. This endpoint allows traders to set up Market-if-touched orders with parameters like leverage, stop-loss, and take-profit settings. A 200 response means the order was submitted successfully, not that it was created successfully, triggered, or executed: a market-if-touched order rests until the threshold rate is reached. Confirm the outcome with GET /api/v1/trading/info/real/orders/{orderId}, using the returned orderId. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/deprecated-openapi.json post /api/v1/trading/execution/limit-orders openapi: 3.0.1 info: title: eToro Api version: v1.352.0 description: >- eToro’s public API provides access to real-time financial data, trading insights, and account management features, allowing developers to integrate eToro’s services into their applications. With access to market prices, historical data, and social trading information, the API empowers users to enhance their trading strategies. Designed for security and scalability, the eToro API ensures smooth and reliable integration for a variety of financial applications. For more details on integrating with eToro's public WebSocket service, please refer to the dedicated [WebSocket documentation](./websocket/websocket-doc.html). ## Authentication Every request must be authenticated with exactly one of two options: an OAuth 2.0 access token (`Authorization: Bearer `), or the non-interactive credential pair (`x-api-key` + `x-user-key` headers). The two options are mutually exclusive — a request carrying both is rejected. Each operation lists the OAuth scopes that grant access as alternative security requirements: a bearer token needs only ONE of them, and the same permissions govern the credential pair. servers: - url: https://public-api.etoro.com description: eToro Public API - Deprecated security: - apiKeyAuth: [] userKeyAuth: [] - oauth2: [] tags: - name: Agent Portfolios - name: Social Feeds - name: Trading - Demo - name: Trading - Real paths: /api/v1/trading/execution/limit-orders: post: tags: - Trading - Real summary: Place limit order (market-if-touched) description: >- Deprecated: This endpoint is marked deprecated in the eToro Public API Swagger.
