A stop order triggers a market order when an asset reaches a specified stop price. Stop orders are commonly used for risk management, helping traders protect profits or limit losses without needing to constantly monitor the market.

There are two main types of stop orders:

* **Stop-Loss Order** – Triggers a market sell order when the asset price falls to or below a specified stop price.
* **Stop-Buy Order** – Triggers a market buy order when the asset price rises to or above a specified stop price.
