doc_url Format

The doc_url value is an absolute URL and changes by environment:

<docs-base-url>/errors/attempt_to_buy_in_amount_when_selling_full_position

Typical Causes

• The client used the wrong unit for the buy leg.
• The request mixed amount-based and percentage-based switch legs incorrectly.
• The payload was built without applying the switch-kernel rules.

Example

Response:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": "attempt_to_buy_in_amount_when_selling_full_position",
      "message": "When selling one full position all buy legs should be in BASIS_POINT_OF_SELL_PROCEED, but US0000000000 was found in amount.",
      "doc_url": "https://docs.example.com/errors/attempt_to_buy_in_amount_when_selling_full_position"
    }
  ]
}

How To Fix

1. Express buy legs in BASIS_POINT_OF_SELL_PROCEED when selling a full position.
2. Keep the switch legs in the format expected by the API reference.
3. Retry after rebuilding the payload with the correct unit.
