@qwe231cvb your version of CCXT is too old. Please, upgrade to 1.87.8+. Let us know if that does not resolve this issue for you.

When I upgrade to CCXT version 1.87.10, I can use symbol = 'BTC/USD:USD'

Characters can now be converted to floats,the code as follows:

ftx.load_markets()
symbol = 'BTC/USD:USD'
market = ftx.market(symbol)
pprint(market['info']['price'])
b = market['info']['price']
a = float(b)
pprint(a)
btc_amount = 20 / a
create_order = ftx.create_order(symbol, 'market', 'buy', btc_amount)
