What is a stop order and how does it work?

 

A stop order is a trading tool used to buy or sell a stock once it reaches a specific price known as the trigger or stop price. The stop order definition is simple: it helps you control trades by setting a trigger price.

 

When the stock hits your trigger price, the stop order automatically converts into a market order and is executed at the best available price. A stop order is commonly used to manage risk and secure profits.

 

A stop-loss order is designed to limit potential losses by selling the share if its price drops to the stop price. On the other hand, a stop-limit order allows you to set both a stop price and a limit price, ensuring the trade will only execute within a specific price range. By using stop orders effectively, traders can automate their strategies and react quickly to market movements.
