Hi, when im using Kucoin web I can put a stop - limit order with a trigger condition (enter price, bigger than the current price) but using stop-limit in ccxt always ends buying/entering at the current/last price, how can I put an order with a trigger condition using ccxt?.

long_price = (1.3) * last 
short_price = (3) * last

result = exchange.create_stop_limit_order(
        "DPET/USDT", 
        side='buy', 
        amount=100,
        price=short_price,
        stopPrice=long_price,
         )

Hello @incafox,
I don't see that option in the WEB UI, so I think it follows the same logic as the API

If the stopPrice is smaller than the current price then the condition will be trigger <=stopPrice, otherwise >=stopPrice

hello @carlosmiei here in this example using the WEB UI you can see the current price is 0.05396 and I created an Buy Stop-Limit order with stop price->0.06 , price->0.1. So the trigger condition to buy 100 DPET is if the current price >= 0.06 and sell condition is 0.1, you can see that in advanced orders section (screenshot).

Im trying to do the same with CCXT-Kucoin :

long_price = (1.3) * current_price 
short_price = (3) * current_price

result = exchange.create_stop_limit_order(
        "DPET/USDT", 
        side='buy', 
        amount=100,
        price=short_price,
        stopPrice=long_price
)

So using my example above the enter price(long_price) should be 1.3 * 0.05396 = 0.0701 and short_price = 3 * 0.05396 = 0.161, but unfortunately create_stop_limit_order is buying instantly at the current price instead of setting a trigger condition correctly.

@incafox Ok I think I managed to reproduce the issue, can you please try to provide stop:entry in params?

result = exchange.create_stop_limit_order(
        "DPET/USDT", 
        side='buy', 
        amount=100,
        price=short_price,
        stopPrice=long_price,
        {"stop": "entry"}
)

Iif we don't provide it, it will default to loss and execute if the price <= 0.06 instead of >= 0.06.

@incafox I think the problem is resolved, so I will close this issue but feel free to reopen it if anything!
