Invalid Stop Loss Limit Price

Invalid stop loss limit price.

This message indicates that the stopLoss.limitPrice provided in the request is invalid. TradersPost requires that the stopLoss.limitPrice be a valid positive number, representing the price at which the stop loss order will be filled.

For example, if a stopLoss.limitPrice such as "-50" or "xyz" is provided, the request will not be processed.

This error can occur due to several reasons, such as:

  • The stopLoss.limitPrice is a negative number.
  • The stopLoss.limitPrice is not a number (e.g., it contains letters or special characters).
  • The stopLoss.limitPrice is zero or improperly formatted according to the required parameters.
  • Ensure that the stopLoss.limitPrice in your request is a positive number and correctly formatted to avoid this error.

Invalid stopLoss.limitPrice example:

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "buy",
    "orderType": "limit",
    "limitPrice": 100,
    "stopLoss": {
        "type": "stop_limit",
        "stopPrice": "90",
        "limitPrice": "invalid"
    },
}

Valid stopLoss.limitPrice example:

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "buy",
    "orderType": "limit",
    "limitPrice": 100,
    "stopLoss": {
        "type": "stop_limit",
        "stopPrice": "90",
        "limitPrice": "89"
    },
