Im trying to place a stop loss order but im getting the error "16315 : The limit price is worse than the trigger price" Why is this?

16315 : The limit price is worse than the trigger price

When placing a buying Stop Loss [SL] order, the trigger price entered should be lesser than the limit price.

When placing a selling Stop Loss [SL] order, the trigger price should be higher than the limit price.

If the above rules is not adhered to, the order will get rejected & the above error will be displayed.

The rules to be kept in mind when placing SL orders are - Buying SL orders can be placed only above the current market price, & selling SL orders can only be placed below the current market price.
