# Demonstrates how to use the conditional close functionality; that is,
# placing an order that, once filled, will place another order.
#
# This can be useful for very simple automation, where a bot is not
# needed to constantly monitor execution.
#
# Complex nesting seems to not be allowed by Kraken. See:
# https://github.com/veox/python3-krakenex/issues/39
