Invalid Stop Loss Stop Price Required

The stop loss configuration is invalid. If you do not provide a relative stop loss, you must provide an absolute stopPrice.

This message indicates that a stop loss value provided in the request is invalid because a stopPrice is required. TradersPost requires that any stop loss order must include a stopPrice to define the price at which the stop loss order will be triggered. Without a stopPrice, the request will not be processed.

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

  • The stopPrice is missing from the stop loss order.
  • Misunderstanding of the requirement to specify a stopPrice for stop loss orders.
  • Typographical errors or incorrect configuration in the request.
  • Ensure that your request includes a stopPrice for all stop loss orders to avoid this error.

Invalid stopLoss example where the stopPrice is missing:

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "sell",
    "orderType": "stop",
    "stopLoss": {
        "type": "stop"
    }
}

Valid stopLoss value example:

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "sell",
    "orderType": "stop",
    "stopLoss": {
        "type": "stop",
        "stopPrice": 95
    }
}

In the above examples, a valid stop loss order includes a stopPrice, ensuring clear and precise instructions for when the stop loss order should be triggered.
