Hi. Fellow User here. You seem confused about how a Stop-Limit order works. I’m short, for a long think of it as a limit order that only becomes active once a certain higher price is hit. You might use it to trade a breakout strategy where you want to try to enter the market if the price spikes up but you want to be guaranteed you don’t buy for too high a price when the spike happens.

You should google Stop Limit Order to find articles like this to learn more:

The error message makes sense if you understand how there orders work. The stop price which dictates when the limit order becomes live needs to be higher than the current market price.
