What is a Stop Order?

Stop Order is a claim to Buy or Sell a certain amount of a cryptocurrency asset. Stop Orders are divided into:

Stop Order for Buy (buy stop) – is a claim for purchase at a specified price (or higher). Traders use this order when the price growth, and is expected to keep growing.

Stop Order for Sell (sell stop) – is a claim for sale at a specified price (or below). Traders use this order while expecting the assets price to go down and will continue falling. A  Stop Sell Order is placed at a price lower than the current market price.

How to use Stop Orders?

Stop Orders are used both to open a position and to сlose it. In the second case, stop order is used as a protective order limiting losses (stop loss): a buy stop order provides protection for a short position (sales), and a sell stop order protects a long position (purchases).
