The problem of Gate.io's privateFuturesPostSettlePriceOrders' price

Make sure your local version of CCXT is up to date. Check by comparing the output of ccxt.version to https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/blob/master/package.json#L3

short_sl_order = exchange.privateFuturesPostSettlePriceOrders({"initial": {"contract": "BTC_USDT", "size": 0, "price": 0, "tif": "gtc", "reduce_only": True},
                                              "trigger": {"strategy_type": 0, "price_type": 0, "price": short_sl_price, "rule": 1},
                                              "order_type": "plan-close-short-position", 'settle': 'usdt'})

gateio {“label“:“AUTO_INVALID_REQUEST_BODY“,“message“:“invalid json json: cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field FutureReqOrder.initial.price of type string“}

I don’t know why this happened. the variable short_sl_price is str. Do I need to use float to do it?

Could you please help me? Thank you very much.

For stop loss, you’ll need to set the stop price

• higher than current for shorts (e.g. if current price is 2, you lose money as the price goes up, so you want a stopPrice higher than 2)
• lower than current for longs

If you need to do the opposite, you’ll have to mess with params, and set them equal to something like in your original comment, because these get passed straight to the exchange

params = {"initial": {"contract": "BTC_USDT", "size": 0, "price": 0, "tif": "gtc", "reduce_only": True}, "trigger": {"strategy_type": 0, "price_type": 0, "price": short_sl_price, "rule": 1}
