If a BUY stop/limit (or stop market) order is placed at a price below the current price, an error message pops up and the order is rejected (when paper trading at least). If a stop limit BUY order is placed below the current price, the expectation is it would trigger right away and become a limit order. Similarly , a BUY stop market order would trigger right away if placed below the current price.
As an example if the current price is 55 and an stop limit order is placed at 54, an error message comes up "Buy stop or buy stop limit orders can't be placed below the market". Is this a safety precaution for unintended order entries?
