My order, which I set at over $10, was filled today at $7.75. I have no idea what I am doing, and have no business doing this shite

Market buy order - buys your specific amount of shares or dollars as quickly as possible regardless of price.

Market sell order - sells your dollars or shares as quickly as possible regardless of price.

Buy Stop order - a market buy order that will initiate at whatever stop trigger price you set. The stop price is just the trigger, as you’re now at the whims of the market pricing.

Sell stop order - a market sell order that will initiate at whatever stop trigger price you set. A sell stop order may look something like this:

Sell 100 shares with a stop price of $10, which means 100 shares will be sold as quickly as possible if the stock falls to $10 or below, even if skips $10 altogether.

Buy limit order - buys however many shares you state for the price you set at the limit or lower. You won’t purchase any stock over the limit, but may get it for cheaper.

Sell limit order - sells however many shares you state for the price you set at the limit or higher. You won’t sell any stock for less than the limit, but may sell it even higher.

Buy stop limit - sets a stop price that acts as a trigger for a limit buy order to be executed. Basically says you’ll buy up to x amount of shares of the stock if it hits the stop price or above, but you won’t buy any of them higher than the limit.

Sell stop limit - sets a stop price that acts as a trigger for a limit sell order to be executed. Says that you’ll sell up to x amount of the stock of it hits the stop price or below, but you won’t sell any of them for less than the limit price you set.

All orders other than basic market orders also have a time component that you’re able to select. That component states how long you’d like the order to stay open if it isn’t executed.


Ultimately, with highly volatile stocks, setting a pie in the sky limit buy or limit sell is a reasonable strategy just in case. However, if you’re trying to protect your downside, a market sell is the most sure fire strategy. All other stop and/or limit orders could fall victim to the stock gapping down.

This. If trading is halted why did the value drop by half soon as it resumed

Because that’s where the buyers and sellers lined up once it resumed? It often gaps up higher after a halt too.

Gotcha.

I know the sentiment you expressed is popular on these highly speculative runs, so I wasn’t sure.

It was a great tip my friend. No one's fault you were too late to pull the trigger whether that was a buy or sell trigger. I and others made profit on this today.

Thanks to OP for the heads up. Obviously I could have sold at 20+ but wanted a bigger score. Still happy with some easy money selling at 7.9 and 10.

I'll watch pre on monday and get in again if it starts to run.

Amazing how this all legal as long as the big boys are doing it to retail but change it to AMC and GME with retail sticking it to the big guys and all hell breaks loose.

Looking like this could be big Tom. Trending #2 on stock twits.
