Placing Orders using TWS Python API

In this lesson we discuss how orders can be placed, monitored, modified, and cancelled from the TWS API. To demonstrate the essential components necessary to place an order, a simple Python program is introduced which places an AAPL order to a paper account, and then prints order status messages to the console. Important topics associated with placing and monitoring orders from the API, including the master client ID, and the API maximum message rate are introduced.
