Invalid Take Profit Pnl Amount

This message indicates that the takeProfit.pnlAmount provided in the request is invalid. TradersPost requires that takeProfit.pnlAmount be a positive numeric value representing a portfolio PnL target in dollars. That target is converted into a take-profit limit price using the quantity calculated for the planned entry before the order is sent to the broker, and the symbol's point value from the quote (for example, dollar value per price point for futures, or the options contract multiplier - 100 per contract for standard equity options).

This error can occur when:

• takeProfit.pnlAmount is zero, negative, or not a number.
• takeProfit.pnlAmount is missing or improperly formatted.

Invalid takeProfit.pnlAmount example:

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "buy",
    "orderType": "limit",
    "limitPrice": 100,
    "takeProfit": {
        "pnlAmount": "-50"
    }
}

Valid takeProfit.pnlAmount example:

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

Do not combine pnlAmount with takeProfit.percent, takeProfit.amount, or takeProfit.limitPrice in the same request. If you do, TradersPost returns a different error stating that takeProfit.pnlAmount cannot be combined with those fields.
