I have tried to place a limit order in Python (using Trading-IG).

Here is the code:

  resp = ig_service.create_working_order(
        currency_code="GBP",
        direction="BUY",
        epic='IX.D.SPTRD.DAILY.IP',
        expiry='DFB',
        guaranteed_stop=False,
        level='5445',
        size='1',
        force_open= 'true',
        time_in_force="GOOD_TILL_CANCELLED",
        order_type="LIMIT",
        limit_distance='6',
        stop_distance='2' 
    )
    print(f"resp:{resp}")
    print(f"Status:{resp['status']}")
    print(f"Reason:{resp['reason']}")
    print(f"dealId:{resp['dealId']}")

Now, since the level (level='5445') is higher than the current price and the direction is BUY (direction="BUY"), then I get this error:

Reason:ATTACHED_ORDER_LEVEL_ERROR

If the direction was "SELL", then the order would have been placed.

Does anyone know why?

I know there is similar issue here: IG Trading API, Market Order Not Working. ATTACHED_ORDER_LEVEL_ERROR

Yet I can't figure out the solution.
