When inputting a stop limit you enter the,
β’ βSTOPβ price
β’ βLIMITβ price
The stop price is the price that the order will be created if triggered.
If the price of the coin never hits the stop price, the sell order will never be created.
The limit price is the price the coin will sell.
Advantages of stop limits:
β

β
Secures Profits
β
Manages Risk
β

β
It allows for less time spent monitoring daily and hourly price actions
Example;
XDB / USDT
Current Price: $0.080
My TA tells me the price may start to fall rapidly if it breaks the next support level at $0.070.
I create a Stop Limit order:
STOP: @$0.070
LIMIT: @$0.065
If the price of XDB hits $0.070 the STOP price is triggered and the sell order is created to sell at $0.065.
If the price of XDB hits $0.065 it automatically sells.
If the price never hits $0.070 the order is never created.
If the price hits $0.068, then rises back up, the order is created but is never sold as it never hit the LIMIT price of $0.065.
With BUY Stop Limits it is the same concept but the STOP price creates a buy order and the LIMIT price executes the BUY order.
