which type of order to place

vaishali
vaishali in Python client
Hi,
I had a python script, which place Buy order by reading Ask price and place Sell order by reading Bid price at defined logic. I am using -
order_type=kite.ORDER_TYPE_SLM
trigger_price=ask_price / bid_price
product=kite.PRODUCT_NRML
variety=kite.VARIETY_REGULAR

but many times it fetches error: "kiteconnect.exceptions.InputException: Trigger price for stoploss sell orders should be lower than the last traded price (1731.05)."
Please help me know, which order type should I use to buy on Ask price and sell on Bid price?

    The error means the trigger price has already crossed.you need to catch the Exception and retry with limit order "ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT"

    Maybe this article can help to understand SL trigger_price.
