This message indicates that the combination of the ticker symbol and optionType provided in the request is invalid. TradersPost requires that the option type of the contract symbol must match the specified optionType. If the combination does not match, the request will not be processed.
Invalid ticker and optionType example where the ticker symbol is a call and optionType is put:
{
"ticker": "AAPL 210121C325",
"action": "buy",
"optionType": "put"
}
Valid ticker and optionType example:
{
"ticker": "AAPL 210121C325",
