This has been added to the documentation:
In the case where you want to submit a Buy Triggered Limit order, the Trigger Line needs to be above the current market price and the Limit price will be below the Trigger price. In the case where you want to submit a Sell Triggered Limit order, the Trigger Line needs to be below the current market price and the Limit price will be above the Trigger price.

So the order type does work properly. The way you are doing it you will get an immediate trigger.
