Stop Order

Stop Order

A Stop Order, also known as a stop-loss order, is a type of order that is placed with a broker to buy or sell a security when it reaches a certain price. The main purpose of a stop order is to limit potential losses or lock in profits on a security position.
There are two types of stop orders: -
  • Stop-loss order: - This type of order is placed to limit potential losses.
For example, if an investor buys a stock for $100 and places a stop-loss order at $90, if the stock drops to $90 or lower, the stop-loss order will be triggered and the stock will be sold at the next available price, limiting the investor's loss to $10 per share.
  • Stop-limit order: - This type of order is similar to a stop-loss order, but it allows the investor to set a specific price at which the order will be executed.
For example, if an investor buys a stock for $100 and places a stop-limit order at $90 with a limit of $89, if the stock drops to $90 or lower, the order will be triggered and the stock will be sold at $89 or the next available price.
When to place a stop order: -
  • To limit potential losses on a security position
  • To lock in profits on a security position
  • To protect against volatility or sudden market changes
  • To manage risk by limiting the potential downside of a trade
It's important to note that stop orders do not guarantee a specific price and that there may be a gap between the stop price and the execution price, especially during volatile market conditions.
