Not able to create new posistion

[VijayKiran]

Hi,

I'm new to IG and I am trying to place a new position through API, but it is throwing error. Can someone help how to fix this please?

ig_service.create_open_position(
        currency_code='GBP',
        direction='SELL',
        epic='OP.D.SPXWEEK.3980C.IP',
        order_type='MARKET',
        expiry='-',
        force_open='false',
        guaranteed_stop='false',
        size=0.5, level=None,
        limit_distance=None,
        limit_level=None,
        quote_id=None,
        stop_level=None,
        stop_distance=None,
        trailing_stop=None,
        trailing_stop_increment=None)

 

Getting error message : "errorCode":"error.trading.otc.market-orders.not-supported-for-epic"
