create_order
Place a GTC limit order on the Luno exchange. The order stays on the order book and can fill partially or not at all; use list_orders to monitor its status.
Instructions
Place a new GTC limit order on Luno. The order rests on the book and may fill partially, fully, or not at all; this tool does not wait for or report fills - use list_orders to inspect state, or cancel_order to withdraw a working order. Not idempotent: repeated calls create duplicate orders. Prefer get_markets_info first to validate the pair's tick size and minimum volume. Write operation: requires the --allow-write-operations flag or ALLOW_WRITE_OPERATIONS=true.
