I have noticed, my limit orders are not triggering the following days after submission

api.submit\_order(ticker, quantity, ‘sell’, ‘limit’, ‘gtc’, limit\_price=exit\_price)

thats my sell order. I have it set for gtc. However, if i set it on Monday and the price rises above the limit during market hours on Wednesday, then it doesnt sell. Is there anything I’m doing wrong?

I’m getting the same thing. Has this been resolved? Have you tried live?
