Last updated 3 years ago

A stop-limit order is an order to buy or sell a token that combines the features of a stop order and a limit order. Once the stop price is reached, a stop-limit order becomes a limit order that will be executed at a specified price (or better)

Stop-limit orders allow traders to set the minimum amount of profit they’re happy to take or the maximum they’re willing to spend or lose on a trade. Once you set a stop-limit order and the trigger price is reached, a limit order will be placed automatically, even if you are logged out or offline. You can strategically place stop-limit orders by considering resistance and support levels and the asset’s volatility.

In a stop-limit order, the stop price is the trigger price for the exchange to place a limit order. The limit price is the price at which your order will be placed. You can customize the limit price, which is usually set higher than the stop price for a buy order and lower for a sell order. This difference accommodates market price changes between the time the stop price triggers and the limit order is placed. (Reference: )
