Cannot place LIMIT order, getting error "TE_PRICE_TOO_SMALL"

[Karlheinzniebuhr]

I'm following the documentation here, trying to place a LIMIT order like this.
client.place_order({"symbol":"DOGEUSD","clOrdID":"cryptomarauder1","side":Client.SIDE_BUY,"orderQty":10000,"ordType":Client.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT,"priceEp":0.2250,"takeProfitEp":0.2500,"stopLossEp":0.2200})

But I'm getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\dev\tradingview-webhook\phemex_python_api\phemex\client.py", line 91, in place_order
    return self._send_request("post", "/orders", body=params)
  File "C:\dev\tradingview-webhook\phemex_python_api\phemex\client.py", line 76, in _send_request
    raise PhemexAPIException(response)
phemex_python_api.phemex.exceptions.PhemexAPIException: HTTP(code=200), API(errorcode=11055): TE_PRICE_TOO_SMALL

I don't think the price is too small because my orderQty is 10000 which is a big amount. I tried with different amounts but nothing worked out. I'm always getting the same error.

For anyone with this issue, the likely cause is given by the following line from the docs:

Fields with post-fix "Ep" are scaled prices, priceScale in products

This means the "priceEp" field should be multiplied by some number (normally ~1000).
As a result, the API is interpreting "priceEp":0.2250 as a request to buy for a price something like 0.000225 - which is too small, triggering the TE_PRICE_TOO_SMALL error

This will be an issue for the takeProfitEp and stopLossEp fields as well
