GTT Trailing Stoploss Order via API enforces me to include a rule with "ENTRY" strategy

Developer API

Hi, I’m trying to place a GTT Stoploss (with Trailing SL) on one of my existing positions/holdings via API.

https://api.upstox.com/v3/order/gtt/place.

I’m trying to place a stoploss sell order, with the following request payload.

{
    "type": "SINGLE",
    "quantity": 1,
    "product": "D",
    "rules": [
        {
            "strategy": "STOPLOSS",
            "trigger_type": "IMMEDIATE",
            "trigger_price":110,
            "trailing_gap": 5
        }
    ],
    "transaction_type": "SELL",
    "instrument_token": "NSE_EQ|INE306A01021"
}

However, I’m getting a 400 Bad Request, with message saying “One ENTRY strategy is required.”

Here, the scenario is I have already entered this position and I just want to exit it at a stoploss (and also setup a trailing SL).

If I must include a rule with “ENTRY” strategy, could you please let me know what should I specify the trigger_type and trigger_price as?

Can you please give me an example payload for the following scenario..

Please consider the following scenario.

My average price : 100
LTP: 120
I want SL at 110, with trailing SL enabled with trailing gap of 5 from current LTP.

Hi @ANILKUMAR_4753925
As of now, exiting a position via GTT is not available.

You must always include an entry leg, which makes it a complete GTT order consisting of a primary and a secondary leg.

Thank you!
