Invalid Take Profit Percent

This message indicates that the takeProfit.percent provided in the request is invalid. TradersPost requires that the takeProfit.percent be a valid positive number. This percentage is used to calculate a stop loss stop price relative to your positions entry price.

For example, if a takeProfit.percent such as "-10" or "10 percent" is provided, the request will not be processed.

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

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

Invalid takeProfit.percent example:

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "buy",
    "orderType": "limit",
    "limitPrice": 100,
    "takeProfit": {
        "percent": "5 percent",
    },
}

Valid takeProfit.percent example:

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "buy",
    "orderType": "limit",
    "limitPrice": 100,
    "takeProfit": {
        "percent": "5",
    },
}

In the above example, a take profit limit price of $105 would be calculated based on the entry price of $100 and the takeProfit.percent of 5%. This would result in a take profit order being filled if the price touches the $105 limit price.
