How to set market take profit?

See original GitHub issue

The code as follows:

import ccxt
import time
from pprint import pprint
ftx = ccxt.ftx({
    'apiKey': 'my_apikey',
    'secret': 'my_secret',
})

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

type = 'takeProfit'
side = 'sell'
rise_btc_price = btc_maket_price + btc_maket_price * 0.015
params = {
    'stopPrice': rise_btc_price,
}
order = ftx.create_order(symbol, type, side, btc_amount, params)

The errors as follows: Traceback (most recent call last): File “C:\Users\fxu50\PycharmProjects\pythonProject1\contract.py”, line 26, in <module> order = ftx.create_order(symbol, type, side, btc_amount, params) File “C:\Users\fxu50\PycharmProjects\pythonProject1\ccxt\ftx.py”, line 1625, in create_order raise InvalidOrder(self.id + ’ createOrder() does not support order type ’ + type + ‘, only limit, market, stop, trailingStop, or takeProfit orders are supported’) ccxt.base.errors.InvalidOrder: ftx createOrder() does not support order type takeProfit, only limit, market, stop, trailingStop, or takeProfit orders are supported

@qwe231cvb you’re making a market takeProfit order, so you have to specify price=None or the actual limit price:

import ccxt
from pprint import pprint


print("CCXT Version:", ccxt.__version__)


ftx = ccxt.ftx({
    'apiKey': 'my_apikey',
    'secret': 'my_secret',
})

markets = exchange.load_markets()

# exchange.verbose = True  # uncomment for debugging purposes if necessary, after loading the markets

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

type = 'takeProfit'
side = 'sell'
rise_btc_price = btc_maket_price + btc_maket_price * 0.015
params = {
    'stopPrice': rise_btc_price,
}
price = None  # or your takeProfit limit price  # -------- ↓
order = ftx.create_order(symbol, type, side, btc_amount, price, params)

Hope that answers your question.

It is ok now.
