cannot_sell_empty_position

cannot_sell_empty_position

Description

The switch tries to sell 100% of a position whose current amount is zero.

HTTP Status

422 Unprocessable Content

doc_url Format

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

<docs-base-url>/errors/cannot_sell_empty_position

Typical Causes

• A full-position sell was requested after the position had already been closed.
• The request was built from stale position data.
• A zero-valued position was retained in the latest position snapshot.

Example

Response:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": "cannot_sell_empty_position",
      "message": "Cannot sell 100 percent of empty position for instrument 019d0000-0000-7000-8000-000000000001",
      "doc_url": "https://docs.example.com/errors/cannot_sell_empty_position"
    }
  ]
}

How To Fix

1. Refresh the current positions before building the switch.
2. Remove the sell leg for the empty position.
3. Retry only if the position has a non-zero amount.
