Here are the problematic parts of my code. I'm just trying to implement a basic stop loss/take profit based off of my entry price.
self.stopLossPercent = 0.99
self.profitTargetPercent = 1.02
self.btcbusd = self.AddCrypto("BTCBUSD", Resolution.Minute, Market.Binance).Symbol
self.currentPrice = self.AddCrypto("BTCBUSD", Resolution.Minute, Market.Binance)
marketOrderTicket = self.StopMarketOrder(self.btcbusd, -1, self.currentPrice * (self.stopLossPercent)) limitOrderTicket = self.LimitOrder(self.btcbusd, -1, self.currentPrice * (self.profitTargetPercent))
Runtime Error: Trying to perform a summation, subtraction, multiplication or division between 'Crypto' and 'float' objects throws a TypeError exception. To prevent the exception, ensure that both values share the same type.

Hi Victoria,
When you call self.AddCrypto it's returning a Crypto Security object, not a price. That's why when you add you are getting the error it can't add to a Crypto object. The below line is the problem. You need to set it to the price, not add the Crypto security (which you did in the prior step).

Hi Victoria,
You are also adding the same crypto (BTCBUSD) twice with:
with the same resolution. You would have issues with that… Just so you know that in your future algos/tests.
