[Traling Stop on open market order]

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,
)

[Place 'MARKET' order with IG-API]

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}
