Stop Limit Order error

[maninjapan]

I am testing some exit orders unmanaged StopLimit orders and recieved the following error message (I was long CL (entry price at 102.39) at the time.)

" Limit price can't be greater than stop price. affected Order: Sell 1 StopLimit @ 101.49 x 101.99 "

The confusing thing is in my code I do have the limit price set BELOW the stop price....
Here is the code I used for the above Sell Stoplimit orders.

exitBuyStopLossOrder = SubmitOrder(0, OrderAction.Sell, OrderType.StopLimit,  this.Position.Quantity, stop - 50 * TickSize, stop, "LongExit1_" +  Instrument.Id, "Long StopLoss1");

Am I misunderstanding how to use these orders correctly or coding them wrong?

Thanks

Hello,

You will want to flip your limit and stop values around.

Because this is a sell stop limit order the limit price will need to be placed at your stop level and your stop price placed below that.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hello,

Joydeep's reply is correct. However I'm noticing that your Limit order is being placed at 101.99 and your stop is at 101.49

There is likely something else in your code that is causing the orders to be placed incorrectly.

are you submitting orders anywhere else in your code that might have the limit and stop prices switched?
