I'd like to place a Stop Limit Order as described on their site. In other words, I want to place a limit order to buy once a certain stop price is reached.
The API documentation only has one example of the client.create_order function which is a basic limit order. The Binance documentation also doesn't give examples of this type of order.
I'm having trouble figuring out which settings to use for the client.create_order function through the API. Should the order type be STOP_LOSS_LIMIT or TAKE_PROFIT_LIMIT? What is the difference between these? In other words, can they both be used to Buy in different ways or do they each require a specific side?
EDIT: I found some more clarification here. This explains that a stop-limit buy order triggers a "Take Profit" order once the target price is met. However, it doesn't specify if this is a Market or Limit order. If it's a limit order, the example doesn't make much sense because they offered way more money than the stop price. If it's a market order, there should be no need to specify a price at all. What am I missing?
order = client.create_order(
symbol = symbol,
side = SIDE_BUY,
type = ORDER_TYPE_STOP_LOSS_LIMIT,
timeInForce = TIME_IN_FORCE_GTC,
quantity = quantity,
price = price,
stopPrice = stopPrice)
