Can anyone give an example of setting a stop loss price while either buying a new stock or an existing position?

[bspallholtz]

Here is my example code

def set_slp():
  holdings = robin_stocks.build_holdings()
  for k in holdings:
      symbol = k
      quantity = float(holdings[k]['quantity'])
      quantity = round(quantity, 0)
      quantity = int(quantity)
      current_return = float(holdings[k]['percent_change'])
      if current_return < -10:
          cp = get_cp(symbol)
      if main(symbol) is True:
          stopPrice = cp * .9
      else:
          stopPrice = cp * .97
      stopPrice = round(stopPrice, 2)
      stopPrice = 6.55
      print("I would try and set SLP for %s at %f for quantity %i" % ( symbol, stopPrice, quantity))
      order = robin_stocks.orders.order_sell_stop_loss(symbol, quantity, stopPrice, timeInForce='gtc', extendedHours=True)
      order = robin_stocks.orders.order_buy_stop_loss(symbol, quantity, stopPrice, timeInForce='gtc', extendedHours=False)
      order = robin_stocks.orders.order_sell_stop_loss(symbol, quantity, stopPrice, timeInForce='gtc', extendedHours=False)
      print(order)

I have tried several variations and can't get any to work

Output I get

{'non_field_errors': ['Stop market sell order requested, but price provided.']}

There was a mistake in the code. I fixed it on github but not on pypi. You can clone or fork the github repo, pull the changes, and install with pip install .

Don't forget the period after pip install
