- Stop-loss orders are similar to limit orders in that the trade is not to be executed unless the stock hits a price limit. In this case, however, the stock is to be sold if its price falls below a stipulated level. As the name suggest the order lets the stock be sold to stop further losses from accumulating. Symmetrically, stop-buy orders specify that the stock should not be bought when its price rises above given limit.
