And today's financial tip:
What is a stop-limit order?
This is a variation of a stop order in which a trade must be executed at the exact price or better, whereby if the order cannot be executed, it is held until the stated price or better is reached.
The benefit of a stop-limit order is that the investor can control the price at which the trade will be executed.
However, as with all limit orders, a stop-limit order may never be filled if the stock’s price never reaches the specified limit price.
