ccxt.base.errors.InvalidOrder: binance Order would trigger immediately

Question

I am using Python, Binance, and CCXT API libraries to create a BUY order on Binance. I am getting an error when executing the code below.

ERROR: ccxt.base.errors.InvalidOrder: binance Order would trigger immediately.

I have also added the inputs.

Why am I getting this error?

TIA

CODE

def ccxt_create_buy_order( self, symbol: str, amount: float, price: float, stop_price: float ):
    try:
        print(" ======= BUY ORDER : ccxt_create_buy_order ================================== ")
        results = {}
        params  = { 'stopPrice': stop_price , 'timeInForce':'GTC'  }
        print("inputs symbo " + symbol + " amount/quantity " + str(amount) + " price " + str(price) )
        print( params )

        output  = self.ccxt_binance.createOrder(symbol, 'STOP_LOSS_LIMIT', amount=amount, side="buy", \
                    price=price, params=params)

INPUTS

 ======= BUY ORDER : ccxt_create_buy_order ==================================
    symbol      BTC/USDT 
    amount/quantity 0.0015 
    price       9872.49
    params      {'stopPrice': 9773.77, 'timeInForce': 'GTC'}

ETA @Igor Kroltar

Thanks for the response. When looking up the errors, I found the following. Where can one find the step-size rule for the symbol ?

The "Order would trigger immediately." exception is explained in Binance's API docs here: https://binance-docs.github.io/apidocs/#9xxx-filter-failures

The order's stop price is not valid when compared to the last traded price.
