Looks like stopPrice is sent irrespective of the order type. Don't know how this module is working to execute trade?

AccountID is obfuscated

Can someone please help if I'm missing something?

I too am having the same problem. I have tried for a day now trying to get an order placed. out of hundreds of trials, somehow the very first one and another one worked, however, all other trials failed. it will be great if someone can please help provide some ideas what to do?

I initially thought maybe the payload generation part is not good as it's missing something like limitPrice, but adding that does not seem to help.
