Hiya peeps I was trying to place some trades through my brokerage today and noticed that they always cancel my StopLimit orders for some reason. The orders are always valid while backtesting but wont go through with real money. Does anybody know how to fix this? I called them and they said that it probably happened because the stoplimit was placed above the bid price. I did notice an error in my code that was causing the stop price to be way higher since it was factoring in another symbol. That's since been fixed and the issue still happens. Here's a test trade that I did: SKYS Sky Solar Holdings Ltd Sell 1 Stop limit at $2.22 $2.22 GTC Canceled 0 / 1 SKYS Sky Solar Holdings Ltd Buy 1 Market at $2.28 GTC Filled at $2.28 1 / 1

Hi Travis, are you setting your stoplimit at the current price? I wonder if they won't allow you to have it dead-set on the current price or something. Have you tried setting one cent below the current price? Just curious.
