Hi there,

For Marker Orders you need to set the relativeStopLoss. stopPrice is not supported for Market orders.

Cool! Thx for the reply! I will give this a try later today and let you know. For the relativeStopLoss what kind of value do I need to enter here? In the description it state:

Relative Stop Loss that can be specified instead of the absolute as one.
Specified in 1/100000 of unit of a price.

For BUY stopLoss = entryPrice - relativeStopLoss,
for SELL stopLoss = entryPrice + relativeStopLoss.

So I still don't know what kind of value should be set here because now the write about a stopLoss again. This is a bit confusing.

Do you also know if we can schedule an order if the market is closed it will be filled the next day the market will open again. Maybe been to use order time if force MARKET_ON_OPEN perhaps?

Okay again thx for pointing me this out. But unfortunately it is not the solution.

I have try the below values, it accept the order, but the SL has not been set.

request.relativeStopLoss = 1000
request.trailingStopLoss = True

Below the output in json format. There you see also the relativeStopLoss has been set, but it is not activated:

{
    'ctidTraderAccountId': '*******',
    'executionType': 'ORDER_ACCEPTED',
    'position': {
        'positionId': '4084654',
        'tradeData': {
            'symbolId': '270',
            'volume': '0',
            'tradeSide': 'SELL',
            'guaranteedStopLoss': False,
            'comment': '*****'
        },
        'positionStatus': 'POSITION_STATUS_CREATED',
        'swap': '0',

        'usedMargin': '0',
        'moneyDigits': 2,
        'trailingStopLoss': True
    },
    'order': {
        'orderId': '*****',
        'tradeData': {
            'symbolId': '270',
            'volume': '100',
            'tradeSide': 'SELL',
            'openTimestamp': '1661952264351',
            'guaranteedStopLoss': False,
            'comment': '******'
        },
        'orderType': 'MARKET',
        'orderStatus': 'ORDER_STATUS_ACCEPTED',
        'executedVolume': '0',
        'utcLastUpdateTimestamp': '1661952264351',
        'closingOrder': False,
        'clientOrderId': 'log_id::ea2cff4b-4e57-4d40-8649-a0c7bbb40481',
        'timeInForce': 'IMMEDIATE_OR_CANCEL',
        'positionId': '******',
        'relativeStopLoss': '1000',
        'trailingStopLoss': True
    },
    'isServerEvent': False
}

Below you can see the SL and TSL are not activated.

What els do I have to send to enable the SL?

If you want a 10 point SL, set relativeStopLoss to 10 * 100000
