====== Stop Market ======
Stop orders are submitted on the opposite side of the market than normal Limit orders. A **buy stop order** is submitted at a price higher than the current best bid but does not fill until that price trades. A **sell stop order** is submitted at a price lower than the current best offer price.

Note that if the market is moving rapidly, you may get filled at a worse price than the one you entered. If you want to prevent this by setting a limit price for the stop, you can do so with the **Order Ticket**.

Stops are useful as **loss limits**, allowing you to automatically close out a position if the market moves against you.

===== Submitting a Stop Market Order =====

  * **Set a volume greater than zero** by tapping the volume box to bring up the number picker.
  * **Set the Stop Market order toggle**:
    * Tap the order toolbar.
    * Then tap on the **S**.
    * The **S** will change from black to orange, indicating the next order submitted will be a stop market order.
