coinbase_pro.js --> Stop Order Error

[rooks88]

Hi there,
I got this error msg:
Coinbase Pro: order create error: ["HTTP 400 Error: Invalid order_type stop

As I read in the api doc, there ist no stop order in CB Pro. See: https://docs.cloud.coinbase.com/exchange/reference/exchangerestapi_postorders

Furthermore there are stop-loss and stop-entry flags, which are not included in the submittet order-post.

I'm wondering if the marked part in the coinbase_pro.js could easily be redirected to to another type....

let orderType;
switch (ordType) {
case 'limit':
orderType = ExchangeOrder.TYPE_LIMIT;
break;
case 'stop':
orderType = ExchangeOrder.TYPE_STOP;
break;
case 'market':
orderType = ExchangeOrder.TYPE_MARKET;
break;
case 'stoplimit':
orderType = ExchangeOrder.TYPE_STOP_LIMIT;
break;
default:
orderType = ExchangeOrder.TYPE_UNKNOWN;
break;
}

... or if it's just necessary to cut out this marked part, as there are just no stop orders in CB Pro:

let orderType;
const originOrderType = order.getType();
if (!originOrderType || originOrderType === 'limit') {
orderType = 'limit';
} else if (originOrderType === 'stop') {
orderType = 'stop';
} else if (originOrderType === 'market') {
orderType = 'market';
}

But on the other hand, there is a reason for the bot to choose the stop-order-type. If there are no stop-orders, the possibility of choosing stop-orders should be deleted from the choosing-type-process in the code, as simple manipulation as mentioned above would lead to a possible WIN or LOSS which would be connected to the chosen stop-order afterwards.

I am not quite sure how to handle this, maybe I am mistaking my problem from the very beginning.

I'm appreaciating any answer. Thanks!

As I read further through the web I'm gettin the impression the coinbase Pro stop order is simply different in syntax:

authenticatedClient.sell( {
type: "limit",
product_id: "BTC-USD",
size: "0.005",
price: "10100", // the limit price
stop: "entry", // currently undocumented
stop_price: "10000", // currently undocumented
});

I found this example which indicates the type is staying "limit", but there is a choice of "stop-types" entry/loss and a stop_price which needs to be passed to fulfill the order requierements.
Any ideas about that?

Thanks & cheers!
