Order Types (market, limit, stop, stop-limit)

[moebigsley1976]

The only suggestion I got is instead of saying "better", perhaps use the words "less" or "more"

[bionicturtledotcom]

@moebigsley1976 that is actually an *excellent* suggestion as better is ambiguous. I forgot this but less/more or fewer/greater is more descriptive. Thank you for the tip!

Excellent as usual. I watch all your videos your heuristics are unparallelled... If I may humbly offer a suggestion. It would really stick if you could give a quick example of why an investor would want a limit order, stop limit, etc. Your stuff is great if I am ever going to take a CFA or FRM im buying it hands down!

Stop moving the mouse around, it's very distracting and confusing. Otherwise thanks.

[bionicturtledotcom]

@heavyguns0302 tough audience, but I will try to do better. You are welcome, I think.

[Faisdragon]

Nice....cleared some confusion...still need to apply and not fully absorbed

[suhasthatte]

Awesome video.Love the explanation. Please keep up the good work.

why would anyone use a stop order if the limit order gives you the price you want??

[discoveringmypath]

I have a question. Say I own 100 shares of company A and its price is at $20 dollars a share. I want to sell at $25 if the price heads that way.

Can you place a stop order above the current price of $20, at $25? so that when the market hits $25 it will execute a market order?

I know you can place a limit order to do the same thing, I'm just wondering if the price touches $25 and creep's down will a limit order actually execute?

well explained

Think I may have worked it out - if going long, and say the the limit was 37, the price could shoot past it and the order would not be filled. But if a stop triggered it at 35, you would have a chance of getting filled any point between 35 and 37, i.e. far more chance of getting filled. Correct?

[malthus101]

This is good but it still leaves me wondering why anyone uses a stop limit - in your example of going long, instead of a stop limit triggered at 35 for 37, why not just use a limit order set for 37? Thanks.

[tranh2]

At 3:03 when you talk about Stop @35 and limit @37. When it is triggered @35 wouldn't you just pay the 35.01 or higer right away?!?! I don't get why would you put a limit of 37 when it just gets triggered at 35+?
