Stop-Limit

A stop-limit order becomes a limit order only after a stop trigger price trades, combining a stop activation with limit price control.

What Is Stop-Limit?

A stop-limit order becomes a limit order only after a stop trigger price trades, combining a stop activation with limit price control.

Unlike a stop-market, a stop-limit may not fill if price gaps through the limit.

Why Stop-Limit Matters

  • Why traders care: Trigger-based entry/exit with price bounds.
  • Playbook fit: Best with structure, volume, and risk rules.
  • Alert fit: Clear levels or thresholds become Phalerta notifications.

How Traders Use Stop-Limit

Set stop trigger and limit carefully. Understand fill risk in fast crypto moves.

Example: Stop-Limit in Practice

A trader uses a stop-limit buy above resistance and a Phalerta alert at the trigger.

Pro Tip

Alert on the trigger so you know the order may have activated.
