I finally got this to work. You have to use the long order per the instructions.

i.e.

robin_stocks.robinhood.orders.order(symbol, quantity, side, limitPrice=None, stopPrice=None, account_number=None, timeInForce='gtc', extendedHours=False, jsonify=True, market_hours='regular_hours')

There is a pull request that will fix this. https://github.com/jmfernandes/robin_stocks/pull/421

Thank you @eilin75 , your suggestion worked. Using the broader order function worked great!

I had this same error when trying to place a sell order. I was trying to sell fractional shares and I realized I was using the wrong sell order. It didn't work until I used robin_stocks.robinhood.orders.order_sell_fractional_by_quantity("stock", shares)

[eilin75]

this is the order structure that I got working:

currency ='SQQQ'

BuyAMT = 1 BuyPrice =1.00 result = api.orders.order(currency,BuyAMT,'buy',float(BuyPrice),stopPrice=None, timeInForce='gtc') print (result)

I'm using that and it's been working well for me.
