Almost never use a stop loss or stop limit personally. If I'm trading I'll use limit orders, but lately I've been using a lot of market orders for my long term dividend holds. Should be noted that market orders won't work outside of regular market hours, you must use a limit order for that and shoot for the "mid" price. Another option to what Avabelle talked about in regards to partial fills is "all or none" option. Fill all at said price or none. Aren't we having fun yet?

[@afireinside8624]

Great explanation! I've watched at least 20+ videos related to Order Types and this is is undeniably the first that pulls it all together in a very well understood way. I'm still trying to gauge understanding on what appear to be somewhat gray areas, such as the terms "or above" and "or below" which pop up in a few Order Type definitions. Couple questions below. 3:33 Limit Order. Investor sets the Limit at $20, stock price becomes $24, then $22, then $15 (skipping $20), then $14. Since the Limit order will execute the stock buy at "$20 or below", does this mean the order will execute at the $15 or $14 price? I assume the $15, but, I wanted to make sure to ask the question. 7:33 Stop Limit. Investor sets the Stop at $55 and the Limit at $53. Stock price rises to $60, then $54, then $40. Since the price never hit right on $55 or $53, will the order have executed at $54 once it dropped to $40? Another question on this, same scenario and instead the stock price rises to $55 then lowers to $52. Will the order execute at $55 since you "guessed" that number exactly, or, will it execute at $52? Thanks for any help you can provide on this!

[@Arvabelle]

3:33 Limit Order: Prices will rarely actually “skip” $5, it’s usually a pretty steady rise or fall by a few cents at a time. But in your example, yes, it would probably fill somewhere between $14 and $15. Limit orders will still try to execute at the best available price, without going over your $20 limit. 7:33 Stop Limit: Again, stock prices won’t usually skip by amounts that are that large. If you’re setting your limit at $53, you’re telling it that you only want to buy if the stock price is $53 or “better”. Since $54 is higher than the limit you set, it wouldn’t ever execute there. In both scenarios, the price you get is probably going to be pretty close to your limit. So if your limit was $53.00, it would likely fill at $52.98 or $52.84 or something like that. In theory it could get filled at a lower price…but once the price goes to or below your limit, it’s going to try to immediately execute. So unless stock prices are absolutely wild and changing that drastically within a few milliseconds, it’s highly unlikely that you would get it at $40 if your limit was $53. Hope that makes sense

[@mafuyu.2622]

@@Arvabelle hello, does the "stop" needs to trigger the "limit" price before it executes the buy order? or when the price goes down to the stop price and exceeds it again, the order will be bought at the stop price?

[@Nigromancy]

Wow finally someone explaining this in plain English! Thank you so much! Subbed!!

[@Stephenson21]

Awesome explanations. The only thing I’m unclear on is the difference between a ‘Sell Stop Loss’ and a ‘Sell Stop Limit’. If my stock is currently at $50 a share... and I don’t want to sell it for anything less than $45 a share... I can put a Sell Stop Loss of $45 so it sells immediately when hitting $45. Same scenario....... if it’s $50.. what is the advantage of doing a Sell Stop Limit?? Seems like if I put a Stop at $46 and a Limit at $45... it does the exact same thing (sells once it hits $45). Can anyone explain the difference or why I would use one over the other? Thanks

[@kingclayton]

@Alexis Bush I think it may protect you from a false downtrend, if you think it is going to go below $46 and the stock has support and bounces at $45.50, it could trend back up and you could capture a higher exit. Not sure if the order is void when the Stop hits and re-traces, may have to reset the order.

[@Dan-qc7kq]

OK, let's compare the two types of orders: A (Sell) Stop-Loss becomes a Market order the instant the Stop is triggered, so in that case your shares will sell for whatever the market will bear. This usually works out ok, but occasionally there won't be enough buyers in the price range that you wanted (due to extreme price volatilty, lack of demand, etc.), so sometimes your shares will sell for a lot less than you had hoped. Maybe you would rather hang onto your shares, rather than selling them so cheaply! The (Sell) Stop-Limit prevents that from happening (and introduces a different problem instead). Using your example, if you set your Stop at $50 and your Limit at $45 then here is what would happen: As soon as the price hits $50 it will trigger the Stop, and this causes the Limit Order to become active. At this point the Stop has done its job and it's gone, it's outta there, and you merely have a normal Limit Order in effect. Here is what your (Sell) Limit Order tells your broker: "Sell all of my shares immediately at the best price you can obtain, as long as the sale price is equal to or higher than my $45 Limit price". At this point your shares could sell for $50 or even higher if the stock decided to bounce upwards at that point. But in most cases your stock will start selling at or a little below $50 because that's the direction the price was moving when it triggered your Stop. If there aren't enough buyers to purchase all of your shares in the $50 range then your broker will start selling to buyers with lower offers, so you might end up selling shares in several batches all the way down to your $45 Limit price, but no lower. If the price temporarily drops below $45 and then comes back up then your remaining shares (if any) will resume selling. The Limit Order will stay up until all of your shares have sold or it expires. All of the other caveats apply. Sometimes the market moves so fast that it blows right through your Limit price and none of your shares will sell. Of course, if you had used a Stop-Loss instead then all of your shares would have sold quickly, but possibly at very low prices. So that's the flip side. I hope this helps.

Finally someone who explains it so it's easily understood.

[@jamesdarnell8568]

"Price gaps don't happen very often". Yes they do. They happen all the time, every night, and sometimes the gaps are large. If my stock closes at $35 per share and I have a good-til-cancelled stop loss order of $30 to protect myself, but that night we get really bad news about the company and it opens the next morning at $20, by the time my order executes I may only get $18. Later that day, buyers realize the stock is oversold and it recovers somewhat back to $30. But I will only have $18 in my pocket and if I want to buy back in, I will have to shell out $30. Such is the downside of stop loss orders. But it is still the best protection we have if we work for a living and can't watch the stock market all day.

[@surreabstractcreatives]

I think it depends on the stock you're trading. Most stocks will not have price gaps often, but some stocks definitely commonly experience price gaps. Research into prior activity of the stock will show how it typically behaves to let you know if price gaps are a common occurrence for the stock.

What is a take profit order?

[@melanievictor9521]

Same thing as a stop loss only going in the other direction. Ex: If you buy a stock for $10 a share, you can set a take profit order at any price you want and it will auto sell at that price. You might want to sell once the stock reaches $12 a share, so you would set a take profit order to sell at $12. Edit: This is a good thing to do even if it may seem counterintuitive to some people. It's part of the plan you should have behind every trade. Anyone who's traded in the markets has watched a trade gain massive profits, waited to see 'how high it will go' and lost every bit of profit as the stock dips down into Hades, lol. This strategy allows a predetermined percent, or dollar amount of profit, assuming the stock does go up.

5:00 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe an order to get in as the price is trending up is a BUY STOP "LIMIT (limit to protect against slippage)" order. And a BUY STOP "LOSS" order is a market order used for when you're shorting and want to protect against loss if the stock goes up, to get you out of your short position.
