A stop order directs the purchase or sale of a stock once it reaches a specified stop price. When this price is met, the stop order converts into a market order and executes at the best available price, which may differ from the stop price.

With a sell stop order, you set a stop price below the current market value. If the stock price drops to your stop price, the shares are sold. The execution price can vary from the stop price.

For example, if stock X is trading at $5 per share and you set a sell stop order at $4, if the price drops to $4, the shares will be sold at the next available price. If the price remains above $4, your order won’t be executed.
