Buy Stop — buy stop loss

Buy Stop Limit ― limit price buy stop loss
This is a combination of the two. The first type breaks through upwards and then places a Buy Limit pending order. As long as the future bidding price reaches the breakthrough price (Price field) marked in the order, a Buy Limit pending order will be placed at the price specified in the Stop Limit field. The breakthrough price should be set above the current bidding price, while the Stop Limit price should be set below the breakthrough price.

Sell Stop Limit — limit selling stop loss
Sell Stop Limit Order – This type is a down-break pending order that places a Sell Limit pending order. As long as the future bidding price reaches the breakthrough price (Price field) marked in the order, a Sell Limit pending order will be placed at the price specified in the Stop Limit field.
