What is a stop-limit order?

A stop-limit order is a limit order with a limit price and a stop price. When the stop price is reached, the limit order will be placed on the order book. Once the limit price is reached, the limit order will be executed.

• Stop price: When the asset’s price reaches the stop price, the stop-limit order is executed to buy or sell the asset at the limit price or better.

• Limit price: The selected (or potentially better) price at which the stop-limit order is executed.

You can set the stop price and limit price at the same price. However, it’s recommended that the stop price for sell orders should be slightly higher than the limit price. This price difference will allow for a safety gap in price between the time the order is triggered and when it is fulfilled. You can set the stop price slightly lower than the limit price for buy orders. This will also reduce the risk of your order not being fulfilled.

Please note that your order will be executed as a limit order after the market price reaches your limit price. If you set the stop-loss limit too high or the take-profit limit too low, your order may never be filled because the market price can’t reach the set limit price.

How does a stop-limit order work?

The current price is 2,400 (A). You can set the stop price above the current price, such as 3,000 (B), or below the current price, such as 1,500 (C). Once the price goes up to 3,000 (B) or drops to 1,500 (C), the stop-limit order will be triggered, and the limit order will be automatically placed on the order book.

Note:

• Limit price can be set above or below the stop price for both buy and sell orders. For example, stop price B can be placed along with a lower limit price B1 or a higher limit price B2.

• A limit order is invalid before the stop price is triggered, including when the limit price is reached ahead of the stop price.

• When the stop price is reached, it only indicates that a limit order is activated and will be submitted to the order book rather than the limit order being filled immediately. The limit order will be executed according to its own rules.

Stop Loss Limit and Take Profit Limit :

Understanding stop-loss and take-profit orders is essential for effectively managing your trading strategy:

If your stop-limit sell order is set below your entry price, it serves as a Stop Loss Limit order. This order helps protect your investment by automatically selling your asset at the stop price or a better price, preventing further losses if the market moves against your position.

Conversely, if your stop-limit sell order is set above your entry price, it acts as a Take Profit Limit order. This order is designed to lock in profits by selling your asset at the stop price or a better price when the market moves in your favor.
