    TRANSACTION_TYPE="B",
    LOTS=1,
    RATE=rate,
    RATE_STOP=40,

    RATE_LIMIT=30,
)
#At entry price the rate must be added and stop/target are based on the pip value
#Instrument, TRANSACTION_TYPE, LOTS, RATE are required variable for executing entry trade
#However other variable are optional
# The entry price returns the order_id


#Trading at market price
trade_id, order_id = op.at_market_price(
    INSTRUMENT="EUR/USD", TRANSACTION_TYPE="B", LOTS=1
)

up = ClosePosition(fx)

#Limit price should be the actual price 
up.update_limit_price(1.11875,'75134317')
#Note all the ID's (trade_id, order_id are in string format)

#Update Stop price
up.update_stop_price(stop_price, trade_id, trail_step)
