Hi, Trying to place MARKET open order with TrailingStop without luck. Market order works but when changing Trailing_stop = True and increment to 50* or any other number I get error: trading_ig.rest.IGException: {"errorCode":"validation.null-conditional-set-value.request»} Trading on DEMO CFD account Really appreciate the help exapmle: response = ig_service.create_open_position( currency_code='USD', direction='BUY', epic='CS.D.ETHUSD.CFD.IP', expiry='-', force_open=True, guaranteed_stop=False, level=None, limit_distance=None, limit_level=None, order_type='MARKET', quote_id=None, size=0.1, stop_distance=None, stop_level=None, trailing_stop=True, trailing_stop_increment=50, )

Is there any way to place market order using API? I get this error when I follow IG-documentation on placing market order: currency_code = "USD" direction = "BUY" epic = "CS.D.BITCOIN.CFD.IP" order_type = "MARKET" expiry = "-" guaranteed_stop = False --------------------------- error message: raise IGException(response.text) trading_ig.rest.IGException: {"errorCode":"invalid.request.type"} ---------------------------- Is there something I'm missing here? For me the only thing working is order_type = 'BUY'

Got the same issue. What did you use instead of 'DFB'? currency_code = "GBP" direction = "BUY" epic = "IX.D.FTSE.CFD.IP" expiry = "DFB" guaranteed_stop = False # entering price level = 7402.0 # Pound per point size size = 1 time_in_force = "GOOD_TILL_CANCELLED" # limit orders are now called STOP order_type = "STOP" limit_distance = None stop_distance = level*0.99 ---------------------------- 'direction': 'BUY', 'epic': 'IX.D.FTSE.CFD.IP', 'expiry': None, 'guaranteedStop': False, 'level': None, 'limitDistance': None, 'limitLevel': None, 'profit': None, 'profitCurrency': None, 'reason': 'REJECT_SPREADBET_ORDER_ON_CFD_ACCOUNT', 'size': None, 'status': None, 'stopDistance': None, 'stopLevel': None, 'trailingStop': False}

Got the same issue. Have you solved this?
