Position_intent errors

Alpaca Trading

Getting this error when trying to place orders via the go sdk:

Order of | 7 TSLA buy | did not go through: invalid position_intent specified (HTTP 422, Code 40010001)

I am just using the example long-short provided by the examples directory. I was getting this error on my own code as well so i moved to the example to see if that would fix it, to no avail.

submit order function:

func (alp longShortAlgo) submitOrder(qty int, symbol string, side string) error {
	if qty > 0 {
		adjSide := alpaca.Side(side)
		decimalQty := decimal.NewFromInt(int64(qty))
		_, err := algo.tradeClient.PlaceOrder(alpaca.PlaceOrderRequest{
			Symbol:      symbol,
			Qty:         &decimalQty,
			Side:        adjSide,
			Type:        "market",
			TimeInForce: "day",
		})
		if err == nil {
			fmt.Printf("Market order of | %d %s %s | completed\n", qty, symbol, side)
		} else {
			fmt.Printf("Order of | %d %s %s | did not go through: %s\n", qty, symbol, side, err)
		}
		return err
	}
	fmt.Printf("Quantity is <= 0, order of | %d %s %s | not sent\n", qty, symbol, side)
	return nil
}
