AuthenticatedClient.place_stop_order Returning Invalid

[ForrestHerman]

Currently using the below line of code to try and place a stop order

print(client.place_stop_order('ETH-USD','loss',1000.0,size=.001))

The resulting console output can be seen below

{'message': 'Invalid order_type stop'}

Checking my orders on Coinbase Pro confirms that no orders were placed.

The following two lines of code do however work

print(client.place_limit_order('ETH-USD','sell',4000.0,.001))

print(client.place_market_order('ETH-USD','sell',.001))

pip list shows cbpro as being version 1.1.4

Also seeing this same behavior using: cbpro-notbroken v1.1.5 or cbpro v1.1.4

Fixed in another repo. Remove this cbpro and: pip install git+git://github.com/coin-tracker/coinbasepro-python.git should give you the working version - the stop order syntax has changed slightly, so need to adjust. The new repo has updated README, so use that example.

There is this very "stupid" but very simple workarround:

instead of ussing place_stop_order() you can use place_order() with the parameters that would be used for place_stop_order(). It worked for me.

params = {'product_id': pair, 'side': "sell", 'price': new_price, 'order_type': "limit", 'stop': "loss", 'stop_price': new_price, 'size': new_size, 'funds': None, 'client_oid': None, 'stp': None, 'overdraft_enabled': None, 'funding_amount': None} params = dict((k, v) for k, v in params.items() if v is not None)

out = client.place_order(**params)
