Buy Stop Order
A Buy Stop Order is an order to buy a stock at a price above
the current market price. Once a stock's price trades at orabove the price you have specified, it becomes a Market
Order to buy.
Example: Suppose you are looking to buy 100 shares of
Intel (INTC) if the stock's price shows that it wants to go up.Assume INTC is currently trading at $20 per share and you
believe that if the price rises to $22 or higher there will be
continued upward momentum. You place a Buy Stop Order
@ $22 on INTC.Suppose INTC then proceeds to trade up to $22. At that
time, your order would become a Market Order to buy and
your order would be filled at the next best available price

Buy Stop Limit Order
An order that combines the features of a Buy Stop Order with those of a
limit order. A Buy Stop Limit Order will be executed at a specified price
(or lower) after a given stop price has been reached.Once the stop price is reached, the order becomes a Buy Limit Order,
filled at the limit price specified or lower.
Example: Suppose you are looking to buy 100 shares of MicroSoft Corp
(MSFT) if the stock's price shows some upward momentum. Assume
MSFT is currently trading at $30 per share. You place a Buy Stop Limit
Order for $33 on MSFT, with a Limit (maximum you're willing to pay) at
$33.50.
Suppose MSFT then proceeds to trade up to $33. At that time, your
order would become a Buy Limit Order and your order would be filledas long as the stock still trades below your specified limit price of
$33.50.

Buy to Cover Stop Order
A Buy to Cover Stop Order is very similar to a Buy Stop Order, the only
difference being this type of order is used to exit a Short position rather
than enter a Long position.
A Buy to Cover Stop Order is an order to cover (repurchase the shares
you have borrowed) at a price above the current market price. Once a
stock's price trades at or above the price you have specified, it becomesa Market Order to buy (cover).
Example: Suppose you currently have Sold Short 100 shares of Apple
Computer (AAPL) at $160 and the stock's price is currently at $150. You
want to protect yourself against a large move higher to guarantee
yourself some of your current profit ($10/share).You place a Buy to Cover Stop Order @ $155 on AAPL. Suppose AAPL
then proceeds to trade up to $155. At that time, your order would
become a Market Order to buy (cover) and your order would be filled
at the next best available price

Sell Limit Order
A Sell Limit Order is an order to sell a specified number of shares of a
stock that you own at a designated price or higher, at a price that is
above the current market price. This is your limit price, in other words,the minimum price you are willing to accept to sell your shares.
Once a stock's price trades at or above the price you have specified,
your shares will be sold at that price or higher IF the stock's price
continues to trade at or above your specified price long enough for your
order to be filled.
Example: Suppose you own 100 shares of Target Corp (TGT), and it is
currently trading at $45 per share. You would like to sell the shares and
take your profits if the stock's price reaches $50 per share, as you feel
the stock's price is not going to go much higher than $50.You place a Sell Limit Order @ $50 on 100 shares of TGT. Now suppose
the price trades up to $50. As long as the price remains above $50 per
share, your shares would then be sold at the next best available price
that is $50 per share or higher.

Sell Short Limit Order
A Sell Short Limit Order is an order to sell short a specified number of
shares of a stock at a designated price or higher, at a price that is above
the current market price. The limit price that you specify is theminimum price you are willing to accept to sell short.
Once a stock's price trades at or above the price you have specified, you
will enter a new Short position at your limit price or higher IF the stock's
price continues to trade at or above your specified price long enough for
your order to be filled.
Example: Suppose you want to sell short 100 shares of Cisco Systems
(CSCO), and it is currently trading at $25 per share. You would like to
sell short if the stock's price reaches $27 per share, as you feel the
stock's price is not going to go much higher than $27 and will likely fallfrom there.
You place a Sell Short Limit Order @ $27 on 100 shares of CSCO. Now
suppose the price trades up to $27. As long as the price remains above
$27 per share, you would then enter a new short position at the next
best available price that is $27 per share or higher

Market Order
A Market Order is an order to buy or sell a specified
number of shares at a price close to the current market
price.
Once your order is placed, your order will then be filled
at the next best available price at or around the stock's
current price.
Example: Suppose you want to buy 100 shares of Adobe
Systems (ADBE), and it is currently trading at $30 per
share. You would like to enter the position as close as
possible to the current price ($30).
You place a Market Order to Buy 100 shares of ADBE.
Now your broker will purchase 100 shares of ADBE
stock at the next best available price, such as $30.10.

Buy Limit Order
A Buy Limit Order is an order to buy a specified number of shares of a
stock at a designated price or lower, at a price that is below the
current market price. Your limit price, in other words, is the maximumprice you are willing to pay to purchase your shares.
Once a stock's price trades down to or below the price you have
specified, your shares will then be purchased at that price or lower IF
the stock's price continues to trade at or below your specified price
long enough for your order to be filled.Example: Suppose you want to own 100 shares of Ebay Inc. (EBAY),
and it is currently trading at $30 per share. You would like to buy the
shares if the stock's price drops to $27 or less, as you feel the stock's
current price of $30 per share is slightly overvalued.
You place a Buy Limit Order @ $27 on 100 shares of EBAY. Now
suppose the price trades down to $27. As long as the price remains
below $27 per share, your shares would then be bought at the next
best available price that is $27 per share or lower

A Sell Stop Order is an order to sell a stock at a price below the current
market price. Once a stock's price trades at or below the price you have

commonly referred to as a Sell Stop/Loss Order.

difference being a Sell Short Stop Order is used to ENTER a new short
position, while a Sell Stop Order is used to EXIT an existing long position.Example: Suppose you own 100 shares of Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) and
you are worried that if the price falls a few more dollars that it will
trigger the beginning of a much larger decline. Assume WMT is
currently trading at $50 per share.
You place a Sell Stop Order @ $48 on WMT. Suppose WMT thenproceeds to trade down to $48. At that time, your order would
become a Market Order to sell and your order would be filled at the
