Stop Order

A stop order is a type of order that is placed at a price above or below the current market price. It becomes a market order when the security reaches the specified price. Buy stop orders are placed above the current market price, while sell stop orders are placed below it, and are commonly referred to as stop losses. In the event of a stock gap, the stop order is executed at the next available trading price.
