Upstox sand box issues

Developer API
1

Hello Upstox Team,

I’ve been experimenting with the Upstox Sandbox API while building a trading bot, but I’m running into a few unclear points and would appreciate clarification:

  1. Sandbox Environment Scope

    • Documentation says /v3/order/place, /modify, /cancel are “Sandbox Enabled.”

    • We successfully placed an order using an equity instrument_token and received a mock order ID in response.

    • Question: Does the sandbox environment also support Options (F&O) instrument tokens, or is it limited to equities only?

  2. Order Result Simulation

    • The sandbox returns status: success with an order_id, but it doesn’t seem to generate positions, holdings, or P&L.

    • Is this expected behavior (purely mock responses)?

    • If so, how can developers realistically test option strategies (fills, order status, execution flow) before going live?

  3. Trade History / Order Tracking

    • When we try to fetch order/trade history after placing a sandbox order, it doesn’t return meaningful data.

    • Is this a limitation of sandbox, or are we missing a step in configuration?

  4. Best Practices

    • Should we always build and test on V3 APIs for future compatibility?

    • If sandbox is limited, what’s the recommended workflow for safely testing option strategies without risking real capital?

So you are basically trying to say that it just for checking order placement not for simulated paper trading it is just like we can play a match but we cannot see the scorecard of our innings thanks for you help
