Unsupported Stop Limit Stop Loss

Cannot submit the {{ ticker }} entry order because your broker does not support stop limit stop loss orders for this asset class. Send a stop market stop loss, or change the stop loss type in your strategy or strategy subscription settings.

This message indicates that the entry order carried a stop limit stop loss, but your broker does not accept stop limit orders for the asset class you are trading, so it cannot attach one. The entry is not sent.

For example, if your broker does not accept stop limit orders for stocks, a signal like this one is rejected before it reaches your broker:

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "buy",
    "stopLoss": {
        "type": "stop_limit",
        "stopPrice": 180,
        "limitPrice": 179
    }
}

Send a stop market stop loss instead:

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "buy",
    "stopLoss": {
        "type": "stop",
        "stopPrice": 180
    }
}

If the stop loss comes from your settings rather than the signal, change the stop loss type in your strategy or strategy subscription settings to one your broker supports.
