If you check the Allow signal override checkbox, TradersPost uses stopPrice, limitPrice, and marketPriceType from your webhook when you send them. When you omit explicit prices and the exit order needs a price from the broker's quote, TradersPost uses Exit market price type from the subscription settings, unless marketPriceType in the signal overrides it for that order (see below).
Breakeven exits (action=breakeven) do not use the live quote for the exit price: the price comes from the position's average entry, optionally adjusted by Exit breakeven offset. You can send breakevenOffset in the webhook to override Exit breakeven offset for that signal; if you omit breakevenOffset, the Exit breakeven offset on the subscription is used (or there is no dollar offset if that setting is blank).
limit order{
"ticker": "AAPL",
"action": "sell",
"orderType": "limit",
"limitPrice": 150
}
stop_limit order{
"ticker": "AAPL",
"action": "sell",
"orderType": "stop_limit",
"stopPrice": 100,
"limitPrice": 99
}
marketPriceType (price from quote)When you omit explicit prices, TradersPost fetches a quote and chooses which quote field to use from Exit market price type on the subscription. Sending marketPriceType in the webhook overrides that setting for this signal only. For example, if Exit market price type is Ask but you want this exit to use the bid, send:
{
"ticker": "AAPL",
"action": "sell",
"orderType": "limit",
"marketPriceType": "bid"
}
TradersPost will derive the limitPrice from the quote using bid instead of whatever Exit market price type is configured on the subscription.
The allowed values are ask_bid, mark, ask, bid, and last. If your signal does not contain an explicit price or marketPriceType, then the Exit market price type on the subscription is used. Other values are rejected with the webhook message Invalid Market Price Type.
breakevenOffset (breakeven exits)For breakeven exits, breakevenOffset in the webhook overrides Exit breakeven offset for that signal. orderType must be stop or stop_limit. The value must be between 0.001 and 100 (see Exit breakeven offset for how long and short positions apply the offset):
{
"ticker": "AAPL",
"action": "breakeven",
"orderType": "stop",
"breakevenOffset": 5
}
