docstr: Parameters
  ----------
  stock_id : str
  start_time: pd.Timestamp
  end_time: pd.Timestamp
  direction : int, optional
      trade direction, by default None
      - if direction is None, check if tradable for buying and selling.
      - if direction == Order.BUY, check the if tradable for buying
      - if direction == Order.SELL, check the sell limit for selling.
  
  Returns
  -------
  True: the trading of the stock is limited (maybe hit the highest/lowest price), hence the stock is not tradable
  False: the trading of the stock is not limited, hence the stock may be tradable
