Entering a pending order question

Does anyone know why when I try to place a pending order for a buy above the current price or a sell below the current price the order won't go in and the message is that I have an invalid S/L and T/P .. but if I put in a buy at below the current market price or a sell above the current price it takes it even if there is no S/L or T/P .. Is there a setting that I need to checnge??

Thanks in advance for any insight..

Yes, if you are buying above the current price you need to use a buy stop and if you are buying below the current price you use a buy limit.
If you are selling below the current price you use a sell stop and if you selling above the current price you use a sell limit.
