Currently, TradersPost does not support stop losses for Coinbase or Robinhood due to limitations in their APIs. These brokers do not allow bracket orders, meaning there is no way to attach a stop loss and take profit to an entry order in a single submission.
Bracket orders typically consist of:
• Entry order (market or limit)
• Take profit order
• Stop loss order
When supported, the broker holds all three orders, activating the stop loss and take profit when the entry fills. However, since Coinbase and Robinhood do not allow this, TradersPost cannot natively integrate stop losses.
1. Use Limit Orders Instead of Market Orders – Traders can predefine both entry and exit points, but this approach may lead to unfilled orders due to price movement.
2. Manually Manage Exits – Since automatic stop loss placement isn’t supported, traders must track positions and exit manually.
3. Adjust Strategy Parameters – Traders using very tight stop losses may need to widen their exit conditions to avoid order rejections.
• Market orders without a stop loss create higher risk, especially in volatile assets.
• Small stop loss distances may result in order rejection due to slippage exceeding the stop threshold.
• Limit orders provide more control but may not always get filled in fast-moving markets.
TradersPost cannot integrate stop losses with Coinbase or Robinhood because these brokers do not support bracket orders. Traders can manage risk by using limit orders, widening stop loss distances, or manually exiting trades. Unless Coinbase and Robinhood update their APIs, automated stop loss functionality will remain unavailable.
