I have written a trading bot working on futures account for margin trading. The piece of code that I shared below worked fine for just one time. Then it started to give the following error:

APIError(code=-2021): Order would immediately trigger

The problem is when I copy and paste this piece of code(part related to open position and give take profit and stop loss orders) to a new file and run it, it works fine but gives an error in the bot. I couldn't find the cause of the problem.

if currentdiffer > 0:
                
                    buy_order = client.futures_create_order(symbol='SOLBUSD',

                                                            quantity = qty, 
                                                            positionSide='LONG')

It is because you set stoploss or take profit less than market price. For example for Buy position, stop loss should be bigger than market price.

Seems like you messed up with the parameter that you send

Check the API Docs. It's all there

For TRAILING_STOP_MARKET, if you got such error code.
{"code": -2021, "msg": "Order would immediately trigger."}
means that the parameters you send do not meet the following requirements:

BUY: activationPrice should be smaller than latest price.
SELL: activationPrice should be larger than latest price.
