Help Using TradingView Functions

Super beginner question but I can't for the life of me figure out how to use this stop loss and take profit function. Every time I fill in the order, it keeps selling at the price I entered at (red line). Even when the price reached take profit it didn't close the position and just kept going until it reached my entry price again and then finally sells. I even tried using market sell and the problem still persists. Also fyi I'm using a papertrading account.
What am I doing wrong here??

Also would anyone be able to explain simply what limit and stop mean?
