Creating limit order gives error.

[gonza1207]

I'm able to create market orders. I'm able to even create limit orders if the price I put as level is above the current price (if im going long) which means that the order gets executed immediately.

However for the normal use case of putting a lwoer price for my limit, I get an exception from IG.

Let's say SPX is at 5800, and I want to buy at 5300. Therefore I put a buy limit order at 5300:

I get the following error:

{'date': '2025-04-02T19:13:19.134', 'status': None, 'reason': 'LIMIT_ORDER_WRONG_SIDE_OF_MARKET', 'dealStatus': 'REJECTED', 'epic': 'IX.D.SPTRD.DAILY.IP', 'expiry': None, 'dealReference': 'D8VEMD26FGQTYPH', 'dealId': 'DIAAAATAM38RJA2', 'affectedDeals': [], 'level': None, 'size': None, 'direction': 'BUY', 'stopLevel': None, 'limitLevel': None, 'stopDistance': None, 'limitDistance': None, 'guaranteedStop': False, 'trailingStop': False, 'profit': None, 'profitCurrency': None}

This is the request my library made to IG:

{"currencyCode": "GBP", "direction": "BUY", "epic": "IX.D.SPTRD.DAILY.IP", "expiry": "DFB", "forceOpen": "true", "guaranteedStop": "false", "level": 5100, "limitDistance": null, "limitLevel": null, "orderType": "LIMIT", "quoteId": null, "size": 1, "stopDistance": null, "trailingStop": false, "trailingStopIncrement": null}

Does this only happen to me?
