# Place Order

> Submit a signed order on behalf of a user.

## Usage (Convenience Method)

The easiest way to place an order is using the build result directly:

```python
result = builder.place_order_for_user_from_build_result(
    build_result=build_result,     # From build_order_for_signing()
    signature=signature,           # User's signature on struct_hash
    user_wallet_address="0xSafeAddress...",
)
```

### Parameters

| Parameter             | Type | Required | Description                                         |
| --------------------- | ---- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `build_result`        | dict | Yes      | Result from `build_order_for_signing()`             |
| `signature`           | str  | Yes      | User's signature (hex string starting with `0x`)    |
| `user_wallet_address` | str  | Yes      | User's Safe wallet address (must match order maker) |

## Usage (Full Control)

For more control, pass the order fields explicitly:

```python
result = builder.place_order_for_user(
    order=build_result["order"],
    signature=signature,
    user_wallet_address="0xSafeAddress...",
    market_id=build_result["market_id"],
    order_type=build_result["order_type"],
    price=build_result["price"],
    currency_address=build_result["currency_address"],
)
```

### Parameters

| Parameter             | Type | Required | Description                                              |
| --------------------- | ---- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `order`               | dict | Yes      | Order struct from `build_order_for_signing()`            |
| `signature`           | str  | Yes      | User's signature (hex string starting with `0x`)         |
| `user_wallet_address` | str  | Yes      | User's Safe wallet address (must match `order["maker"]`) |
| `market_id`           | int  | No       | Market ID                                                |
| `order_type`          | int  | No       | `LIMIT_ORDER` (2) or `MARKET_ORDER` (1)                  |
| `price`               | str  | No       | Price for display                                        |
| `currency_address`    | str  | No       | Quote token address                                      |

## Response

API response dict with order details (structure depends on backend).

## Notes

* The `order["maker"]` must match `user_wallet_address` (lowercased). An `InvalidParamError` is raised if they differ.
* The signature must start with `0x`.
* Order signing uses `user.sign_hash(struct_hash)` -- see [Build Order](https://docs.opinion.trade/developer-guide/opinion-clob-python-sdk/builder-mode/broken-reference) for details.
