hi there, I am trying to update the stop loss after knowing the price at which a order was filled. So I call list\_positions to get the fill price and calculate a stop loss to update. I call

order = api.replace\_order(order\_id=“97d0953b-5bbc-4a3f-8c39-241cd8a5d014”,  
stop\_price=208.90  
)  
BUt i get an error saying,

alpaca\_trade\_api.rest.APIError: only simple orders can be replaced at this time

Is it not possible to update stop\_price?

Did you ever get an answer or figure this out? I don’t see how, so I am cancelling the original and creating a new order. But there is no documentation on how to create a ‘simple’ order with a stop\_loss, so I’m wondering if you found it?
