Check order impact

post
https://api.snaptrade.com/api/v1/trade/impact

Simulates an order and its impact on the account. This endpoint does not place the order with the brokerage. If successful, it returns a Trade object and the ID of the object can be used to place the order with the brokerage using the place checked order endpoint. Please note that the Trade object returned expires after 5 minutes. Any order placed using an expired Trade will be rejected.
