Trailing Percent Example

[kgstorm]

Can someone post an example of an equity SELL order with a TRAILING_STOP_PRCT price type, please?
I can buy and sell market orders just fine.
I'm not sure which parameters are required for the trailing stop percent order.
I figured it would just be:
accountId, symbol, orderAction, clientOrderId, quantity, marketSession, orderTerm, priceType, offsetType, and offsetValue.
I have experimented with limitPrice and trailPrice, but can't get anything to work.
Here's a sample failed set of key-word arguments:
kwargs = {'accountId':accountIDKey,'symbol':symbol,'orderAction':'SELL','clientOrderId':orderID,'quantity':quantity,'marketSession':'REGULAR','orderTerm':'GOOD_FOR_DAY','priceType':'TRAILING_STOP_PRCT','offsetType':'TRAILING_STOP_PRCT','offsetValue':0.3,'allOrNone':False}

FYI - this request has been through the sandbox environment.

I always get:

File "/home/xxx/xxx/./test_sell_sandbox.pex", line 280, in
bc = order.place_equity_order(**kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/pyetrade/order.py", line 475, in place_equity_order

Thanks mw66!
Are you saying though that it is possible to place these order types you just have to swap some of the variable names?
Is stopPrice are you required perimeter? That seems like a odd perimeter for a trailing stop order.
Thanks!

After I learnt they don't want to fix their server side bugs, I gave up.

You can try (better during market close hours) which set of parameters work out.
