Below are the examples for different AddOrder calls:

$res = $kraken->QueryPrivate('AddOrder', array(
    'pair' => 'XXBTZUSD',
    'type' => 'sell',
    'ordertype' => 'limit',
    'price' => '120',
    'volume' => '1.123'
));
print_r($res);

    [error] => Array
        (
        )
    [result] => Array
        (
            [descr] => Array
                (
                    [order] => sell 1.12300000 XBTUSD @ limit 120.00000
                )

    'ordertype' => 'limit',
    'price' => '#10',  // price (relative delta)

    'close' => array(
        'ordertype' => 'stop-loss',
