Rejected: Buy stop or Buy stop limit orders can't be placed below the market.

Get this is the Orders Tab

"Rejected: Buy stop or Buy stop limit orders can't be placed below the market."

Its incorrect as I tell the system to implement a StopLoss 2 ticks above current close

tickPrice = close[0];
if (shortOrder != null && shortOrder == execution.Order && execution.Order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled)

{
// (2)
stopOrder = SubmitOrder(0, OrderAction.BuyToCover, OrderType.Stop, 1, tickPrice -2 * TickSize, tickPrice -2 * TickSize, "Oil", "Stop loss short");

"tickPrice -2 * TickSize" is 2 ticks below the tickPrice, which is Close[0].

Hello cocopod,

Thank you for your post.

koganam is correct here, you are placing your BuyToCover order (buy stop for a short entry) at a price 2 ticks below the current price.

A buy stop order cannot be placed below the market price.

Instead try placing the order 2 ticks above the market price.

For example:

stopOrder = SubmitOrder(0, OrderAction.BuyToCover, OrderType.Stop, 1,0, tickPrice+2 * TickSize, "Oil", "Stop loss short");
