Invalid Stop Loss Stop Price Required

This message indicates that a stop loss value provided in the request is invalid because a stopPrice is required when using absolute stop loss fields. TradersPost requires that stopLoss.limitPrice cannot be sent without stopLoss.stopPrice. Without a stopPrice, the request will not be processed.

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

• stopLoss.limitPrice is set without stopLoss.stopPrice.
• Misunderstanding of the requirement to specify a stopPrice for absolute stop loss orders.
• Typographical errors or incorrect configuration in the request.
• Ensure that your request includes a stopPrice whenever you send an absolute stop loss limit price.

Invalid stopLoss example where limitPrice is set without stopPrice:

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "sell",
    "orderType": "stop_limit",
    "stopLoss": {
        "type": "stop_limit",
        "limitPrice": 95
    }
}

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 when using absolute stop loss fields, ensuring clear and precise instructions for when the stop loss order should be triggered.
