On the Trade Window for the chart that is associated with the spreadsheet, there are options in the "Set" tab for "Stop-Limit Order Limit Offset". Make sure this is set how you want. It sounds like you want these to be 0.

We are not sure we are following the situation. But here are the things to keep in mind. If you are wanting to place a working order at a price that is in your favor (e.g. a Buy order at a price less than the current market price) then you would enter a Limit order. If you are wanting to place a working order at a price that is not in your favor (e.g. a Buy order at a price higher than the current market price) then you would enter a Stop-Limit.

It sounds like you may need to change your order type depending on where exactly you are wanting to place the trade. You can set the Order Type in cell J71 using a condition like the following:
=IF($E$3 > 1800.00, "L", "SL")
