for bracket orders its given » stop\_price string false none Stop loss price level » limit\_price string false none required for limit orders so i just wanted a clarity on which is the trigger price and which would be the price at which order would be executed ---

1. stop\_price (Trigger Price): This is the price level that activates your order. It acts as a trigger condition — the order won’t be placed until the market hits this price. 2. limit\_price (Execution Price): This is the price at which your order will be placed after it’s triggered. Once the `stop_price` is reached, the system places a limit order at the limit\_price. This parameter is required for limit orders. Hope this helps clarify things. ---

Stop price is triggered price.. your order get activated in system and limit price.. is where your price get executed.
