You can set a stop-loss order when opening a position or on an existing position:

   def place_stop_loss(symbol, side, qty, stop_price):
       response = session.place_active_order(
           symbol=symbol,
           side=side,
           order_type='Market',
           qty=qty,
           stop_loss=stop_price,
           time_in_force='GoodTillCancel'
       )
       if response['ret_code'] == 0:
           print(f"Stop-loss set at {stop_price} for {symbol}")
       else:
           print(f"Error setting stop-loss: {response['ret_msg']}")
       return response

   place_stop_loss('BTCUSD', 'Buy', 0.01, 29000)  # Buy 0.01 BTC with stop-loss at $29,000

You can check your open orders using the following function:

   def get_open_orders(symbol):
       response = session.get_active_order(symbol=symbol)
       open_orders = response['result']
       return open_orders

   open_orders = get_open_orders('BTCUSD')
   print("Open Orders:", open_orders)
