While submitting an EnterShortLimit order, I've received the following error:
Limit price can't be smaller than current bid. affected Order: SellShort 10 Limit @ 123.781
At the time the order was submitted, the values where:
Close[0]: 123.810
Ask: 123.818
Bid: 123.811
And my limit price was 123.781
I do not understand why I got that error, I'm giving myself a few pips (I'm trading foreX) to make sure the order will be filled (I am not interested in a market order since the slippage might b to large). Does the limit has to be 123.811 (current bid) or higher? why?
Thank you
