Create RFQ draft

POST

https://api.prod.paradex.trade/v1/rfqs/drafts

Stores an RFQ-builder draft for the authenticated account.

A draft is inert: it is not sent to the RFQ venue and does not reserve margin. Each account may store at most 20 drafts. The request shares the RFQ-create schema, but only quantity, strategy, and legs are persisted; is_anonymous, counterparties, and label are ignored.

Draft validation permits work in progress. A draft accepts up to 25 legs. Quantity and ratios must be positive decimal strings, every market must exist on Paradex, side must be BUY or SELL, and a supplied hedge-leg price must be positive. strategy is limited to 64 bytes and defaults to custom when omitted. The cross-leg strategy rules enforced by RFQ creation do not apply until the draft is submitted through POST /v1/rfqs.
