Having issue with bracket orders

Alpaca Trading
1

Hi, I’m having some issues with the sdk in submitting bracket orders.

I’m trying to do something like buy I share of TSLA stock with a stop sell order

symbol = 'TSLA'
quantity = 1

stop_price = 120
take_profit_price = 135

take_profit_request = TakeProfitRequest(
    limit_price=take_profit_price
)

stop_loss_request = StopLossRequest(
    stop_price=stop_price
)

market_order = MarketOrderRequest(
    symbol = symbol, 
    qty = quantity, 
    side = OrderSide.BUY, 
    time_in_force = TimeInForce.GTC, 
    take_profit = take_profit_request, 
    stop_loss= stop_loss_request, 
    order_class = OrderClass.BRACKET
    
)
order = trading_client.submit_order(order_data=market_order)

I do this and get the following error:

ValidationError                           Traceback (most recent call last)

Would really appreciate some help on this. I get this ValidationError but when I check my alpaca markets dashboard, I’m seeing that the market buy order goes through and the legs of the trade are there as well. not sure what’s going on. thanks

You’re a godsend; I struggled with the syntax for a bracket order with the updated alpaca-py library, and your code example works perfectly. It’s crazy that it’s not documented anywhere for the updated API.

Thank you!
