Hello All!
I am trying to issue a bracketed sell order, I am submitting the order with a negative quantity, however the order is executing a BUY, not a SELL. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
def TakeProfit(self, symbol, stop_loss, price):
self.CloseOpenOrders(symbol)
quantity = round((self.shares[symbol] *.25) * -1, 0)
shares_remaining = self.shares[symbol] + quantity
self.StopLimitOrder(symbol, quantity, stop_loss, price)
self.StopMarketOrder(symbol, shares_remaining, stop_loss)
self.shares[symbol] = shares_remaining
self.stop_loss[symbol] = stop_loss
return
