Stop Limit Order

Categories: Investing, Stocks, Trading

See stop loss, buy stop, sell stop... actually, just pull out all the stops.

The wrinkle is that this type of order combines the features of a stop order and a limit order. If you're short the stock, you probably entered a buy stop to limit your losses. The "limit" is that you don't want to execute that buy stop at a higher price than the buy stop price.
