But doesn't a Stop Order just get turned into a Market Order when the specified price is touched. In my example: price falls from $35 to $30, my Sell Stop Order at $30 would be triggered ie it will be turned into a Market Order by which time the market could be at $29.99, or $29.98 etc. In other words a Sell Stop order exposes me to slippage. Whereas a Limit Order will only fill me on my sell at $30 or BETTER. Yes, I know there is a chance I may never get filled. |
