Invalid Stop Loss Stop Price

This message indicates that the stopLoss.stopPrice provided in the request is invalid. TradersPost requires that the stopLoss.stopPrice be a valid positive number, representing the price at which the stop loss order will be triggered and converted to a market order and executed at the best available price.

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

    "limitPrice": 100,
    "stopLoss": {
