Rejected: invalid stop or limit

[Guest Benjamin]

When submitting /positions/otc version 2 POST requests, my positions are occasionally getting rejected with reason UNKNOWN. In the account past activity, I find that the result column lists "Rejected: invalid stop or limit". However, the requests I am submitting do not have a stop or limit. The parameters I provide (copied from my Python code) for my API request are as follows:

 

create_position(    epic=epic,    direction='SELL',    size=1,    currencyCode='GBP',    expiry=expiry,    forceOpen=True,    guaranteedStop=False,    dealReference=None,    level=bid,    limitDistance=None,    limitLevel=None,    orderType='LIMIT',    quoteId=None,    stopDistance=None,    stopLevel=None,    timeInForce='FILL_OR_KILL',    trailingStop=None,    trailingStopIncrement=None)

It would be extremely useful if someone would explain why some of the requests are being rejected, and how to avoid or deal with this.

 

Thank you.

Hey Benjamin,

We can definitely look into these rejections for you. Would you be able to drop us a message at the following link, confirming the account you are using, an approximate time for the rejections and any deal reference or ID you may have.
