Request parameters
The two prices serve different purposes and are validated independently.activation_price decides when the order fires; price decides where the resulting limit order sits. Placing price past the trigger makes the resulting order marketable, which is a deliberate pattern for an exit that must fill rather than rest.
The trigger direction is not a parameter. The engine derives activation_condition by comparing activation_price to the market at placement: above the market yields gte, below yields lte.
