Hello,
I did some tests to realize that trading_updates web stream with URL, wss://paper-api.alpaca.markets/stream does not seem to capture new events in the name of trailing stop orders.
Example:
set_trial_stop2 = api.submit_order(
symbol=‘BFT’,
side=‘sell’,
type=‘trailing_stop’,
qty=str(5),
time_in_force=‘gtc’,
trail_percent = str(2),
)
the above does not push out a stream. On the contrary, if I submit a stop order as below:
ask_price = api.get_last_quote(symbol).askprice
set_limit_stop2 = api.submit_order(
symbol=‘BFT’,
side=‘sell’,
type=‘stop’,
qty=str(2),
time_in_force=‘day’,
stop_price = str(ask_price*(1-40/100)),
)
pushes out:
