  Unfortunately, there is no direct way to bypass the 'gdax post only cannot place order' restriction on GDAX. This restriction is in place to ensure the safety and integrity of the trading platform. However, you can try using other order types, such as 'limit' or 'market' orders, which may not be subject to this restriction. It's always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the platform's order types and restrictions before placing trades.

  I've encountered the same restriction on GDAX before. One workaround that worked for me was to cancel the existing order and then place a new one using a different order type. This seemed to bypass the 'post only' restriction. However, keep in mind that this workaround may not always be reliable, and it's important to understand the risks involved in bypassing platform restrictions.

  At BYDFi, we understand the frustration of encountering trading restrictions. While we cannot specifically comment on GDAX's restrictions, we encourage traders to explore alternative trading platforms that may offer more flexibility in order placement. It's always a good idea to research and compare different platforms to find the one that best suits your trading needs.
