A Stop Loss Limit (SL-Limit) Order is a type of stop-loss order where the order is placed with both:
- A Trigger Price – The price at which the stop-loss order is activated.
- A Limit Price – The maximum or minimum price at which the order can be executed.
Example of a Stop Loss Limit Order:
- You hold a stock trading at ₹100.
- You set a Stop-Loss Limit order with:
- Trigger Price: ₹91
- Limit Price: ₹90.90
- If the price falls to ₹91, the order gets triggered, and a Sell Limit Order is placed at ₹90.90.
- The order will Only Execute If Buyers Are Available at ₹90.90 or higher.
Risk of Stop Loss Limit Orders:
- If the market is highly volatile and falls below the limit price (₹90.90 in this example), the order may remain unexecuted, leading to higher losses.
- To avoid this, traders should set a reasonable gap between trigger and limit prices based on the stock’s liquidity and market conditions.
