This message indicates that both the stopLoss.amount
and stopLoss.percent
were provided in the request, which is not allowed. TradersPost requires that you specify only one of these values to set the stop loss. Providing values for both parameters will be considered invalid, and the request will not be processed.
Invalid stopLoss
example where both amount
and percent
are provided:
{
"ticker": "AAPL",
"action": "buy",
"orderType": "limit",
"limitPrice": 100,
"stopLoss": {
"type": "stop",
"amount": 10,
"percent": 5
},
}
Valid stopLoss
example (amount only) that will calculate a $90
stop price:
{
"ticker": "AAPL",
"action": "buy",
"orderType": "limit",
"limitPrice": 100,
"stopLoss": {
"type": "stop",
"amount": 10
},
}
Valid stopLoss
example (percent only) that will calculate a $95
stop price:
{
"ticker": "AAPL",
"action": "buy",
"orderType": "limit",
"limitPrice": 100,
"stopLoss": {
"type": "stop",
"percent": 5
},
}
