Strategy Message

Breakeven Order Type Required

Breakeven requires a stop or stop limit order type. Your broker must support position average entry price and stop market orders or stop limit orders.

This message indicates that a breakeven exit was requested and an exit order was built, but that order’s type is not stop (stop market) or stop limit. Breakeven exits must use one of those two types; market, limit, and trailing stop are not allowed for breakeven.

What to do:

  • Webhook or API: In your breakeven signal, send orderType: "stop" or orderType: "stop_limit". Your broker must support the chosen type.
  • Strategy or automation: Ensure the breakeven exit is configured to use stop or stop limit (not market or limit). Your broker must support that order type.

If the system built a market or limit exit (for example, because orderType was missing or invalid), fix the signal or strategy so the breakeven exit uses stop or stop limit.
