Trying to place a binance futures trailing stop order using python?

Question

I have got so far,

#changing the margin client.futures_change_margin_type(symbol = symbol_buy, marginType = 'ISOLATED')

#changing the leverage client.futures_change_leverage(symbol = symbol_buy, leverage = 1)

shared.client.futures_create_order( symbol=symbol_buy, side = 'SELL', type='TRAILING_STOP_LOSS', quantity = 100)

and i'm thus getting this error below

Answer 1

you've probably solved this by now but with binance futures, I don't think there is a TRAILING_STOP_LOSS trade type via API just yet, available order types are (from the docs):

Order types (orderTypes, type):

• LIMIT
• MARKET
• STOP
• STOP_MARKET
• TAKE_PROFIT
• TAKE_PROFIT_MARKET
• TRAILING_STOP_MARKET
