I am attempting to create a LONG TRADE that will contain a BUY ORDER and a STOP-LOSS using Python asyncio, ccxt API (which is calling the Binance API for the Binance Crypto Exchange). First I create the BUY ORDER. Afterwards, I am waiting until the order is filled. AFTER it is filled, I am attempting to create a STOP-LOSS order to go with the LONG that was created (Reason: I do not want to lose a lot of money if the trade moves against me). According to the log, the BUY ORDER is being created OK. I am getting "insufficient funds" on the STOP-LIMIT order. I do not understand why I would be getting "insufficient funds" on a STOP-LOSS order when the BUY order went through just fine (it even has the status of FILLED). If I BUY .0015 BTC for $9000 (and the order has been FILLED), I should be able to STOP-LOSS .0015 BTC for $8875 (again, to preserve the funds in the case the trade moves against me) Why is this not working? Why can I not create a STOP-LOSS for my trade? ETA: Saw this in a different thread: TAKE_PROFIT is the opposite of STOP_LOSS. One executes on the downward, the other executes on the upward. QUESTION: How can I structure the API so that the TAKE_PROFIT and STOP_LOSS can be set for an order? async def execute_long_trade(self, trade: LongTrade): try: buy_price = trade.start_price sell_price = trade.exit_price symbol = trade.exchange_symbol amount = trade.amount stop_loss = trade.stop_loss order = self.exchange.ccxt_create_buy_order(symbol, amount, buy_price, 0 ) [ ... snip ...] logging.info(f'Opened long trade: {amount} of {symbol}.
