What Does Stop Limit Mean on Binance?

A stop limit order is an order to buy or sell a security at a specified price or better, after a given stop price has been reached. Once the stop price is reached, the stop limit order becomes a limit order to buy or sell at the limit price or better.

A stop limit order is used to control the price at which an order is executed. For example, if an investor wants to buy a stock at $50 but does not want to pay more than $51, they would place a stop limit buy order with a stop price at $51 and a limit price of $50.

If the stock’s price reaches $51, the order will be triggered and will become a limit order to buy the stock at $50 or less.

NOTE: WARNING: Stop limit orders on Binance can involve risk and should not be used without understanding the trading platform, its fees, and the risks involved. Using stop limit orders to enter or exit a trade can result in losses if market conditions vary from the expected, or if the order fails to execute. Always use caution and do your own research when trading on any exchange.

A stop limit order can be placed as either a day order or a GTC (good-till-canceled) order.

If you are new to trading, it is important to understand that a stop limit order is not the same as a stop loss order. A stop loss order is an order to sell a security when it reaches a certain price, and is typically used to protect against losses in case of a market downturn.

A stop limit order, on the other hand, gives you more control over when and at what price your trade is executed.
