Limit orders on dydx

[ypsik]

Hello,

i tested your connector, great job, just i have one issue.
You implemented dydx connector as market orders,

const type = OrderType.MARKET;

its executing to random prices and not on prices you set as limits.
Because markets on dydx are often not liquid Its just losing a lot of money, Maybe you can switch to limit orders? Maybe as option in config ?
I think you need just change from market to limit this line.

Hey @ypsik, @junta
Thank you for bringing this up, as DYDX often encounters issues executing market orders even on the UI side.
By enabling LIMIT, orders this would not only reduce slippage like @ypsik mentioned, but also increase the order success rate.

On my end, there seems to be fewer issues entering a position, however, position exits often fail.
For example, the websocket signal is sent via TradingView, received and recorded in the tradeHistoryPerpetual.csv, however, no action at all is taken on exchange.

For my setup, I am currently running on Render, but am not sure how to fetch a more detailed log history.

Recent signal sent that resulted in no action:

Hey @ypsik,
I do not have permission to commit to this repo, but I have forked and modified the dydx service file to support limit orders under my own branch.
I will work on adding additional configuration options within the alert settings for more support.
