Error responses

Order and cancel errors are usually returned as a vector with same length as the batched request.

Below is a list of possible batched error responses:

Error source
Error type
Error string

Order

Tick

Price must be divisible by tick size.

Order

MinTradeNtl

Order must have minimum value of $10

Order

PerpMargin

Insufficient margin to place order.

Order

ReduceOnly

Reduce only order would increase position.

Order

BadAloPx

Post only order would have immediately matched, bbo was {bbo}.

Order

IocCancel

Order could not immediately match against any resting orders.

Order

BadTriggerPx

Invalid TP/SL price.

Order

MarketOrderNoLiquidity

No liquidity available for market order.

Order

PositionIncreaseAtOpenInterestCap

Order

PerpMaxPosition

Important: Some errors are a deterministic function of the payload itself, and these are instead returned earlier as part of pre-validation. In this case only one error is returned for the entire payload, as some of these errors do not apply to a specific order or cancel.

Examples include: empty batch of orders, non-reduce-only TP/SL orders, and some forms of tick size validation.

For API users that use batching, it's recommended to handle the case where a single error is returned for a batch of multiple orders. In this case, the response could be duplicated ntimes before being sent to the callback function, as the whole batch was rejected for this same reason.

For API users that use historical orders, a list of all the cancel / reject historical order statuses can be found here.
