Gdax trying to put limit or market trade

See original GitHub issue

Having a lot of trouble making trade on gdax.

When trying to call your own method for gdax create_limit_buy this happens

    return self.create_limit_buy_order (product, amount, price, params)
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\ccxt\__init__.py", line 504, in create_limit_buy_order
    return self.create_order (product, 'limit', 'buy', amount, price, params)
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\ccxt\__init__.py", line 6416, in create_order
    return self.privatePostOrder (self.extend (order, params))
AttributeError: 'gdax' object has no attribute 'privatePostOrder'

When trying to write my own method

response = gdax.request('orders', 'private', 'POST', params={'type': 'limit',
                                                             'side': 'buy',
                                                             'product_id': product,
                                                             'price': 3000,
                                                             'size': 1.0})

this happens

Ok, I fixed it, finally. Now it replies with “Insufficient funds” as it should. Code for testing:

# Python
import ccxt
gdax = ccxt.gdax ({ 
	'apiKey': '92560ffae9b8a01d012726c698bcb2f1', # standard
	'secret': '9aHjPmW+EtRRKN/OiZGjXh8OxyThnDL4mMDre4Ghvn8wjMniAr5jdEZJLN/knW6FHeQyiz3dPIL5ytnF0Y6Xwg==', 
	'password': '6kszf4aci8r', # GDAX requires a password!
})
gdax.urls['api'] = 'https://api-public.sandbox.gdax.com'
gdax.load_products ()
gdax.create_limit_buy_order ('BTC/USD', 1, 2000)

The problem was that their sandbox does not accept client_oid field. Removed it. Should work now. Thanks again!

So now it says “Insufficient funds” as it should… Will add an exception for this case, though.
