From what I could see now, the CLI only allows separate orders.

If I were to put a sell stop below my buy limit and if I then cancel the buy limit, the sell stop will still remain - increasing the chances of selling short when I wanted to use that as a downside protection.

Could you please add stop loss option for both buy & sell side - so when the original order is removed, the stop loss also gets removed.

Thanks!

I had my hopes up when I learned of this only CLI trader for Alpaca (is there another that works under /bin/bash ?)

To prove I connected my account just fine, with money ready to invest:

 alpaca report

Portfolio:
  symbol     qty      cost     value      profit


Performance:
  US$ 0.00

Yet when I try to place a simple limit order to buy:

 alpaca buy 1 BIZD --type=limit --time-in-force=gtc --limit-price=17.07


404 - {"code":40410000,"message":"account not found for 662d0fac-5c7f-4835-a246-5749cdbf8070"}

I had tried updating/reinstalling, but that made no difference:
npm install -g alpaca-cli ## https://www.npmjs.com/package/alpaca-cli

Hi there,

Thanks for making alpaca-cli

Could you please add ability to specify how much % of the account should be used in the trade?
For example if my balance at Alpaca is $100 and I specify 20% in a BUY order, then the CLI will open a BUY position with $20 worth of specified instrument.

This will help the trader to control exposure per trade.

Thanks again!

Right now it stores them in plaintext, which should be fine since this is intended to be run on the user's machine, but adding the ability to put them behind a password would be cool.
