When the stock price hits the stop-loss price, the order is triggered and executed at the next available opportunity.

A "price target order" is an order to buy or sell a security at a specific price. Price target orders are used by traders to take profits on a trade. For example, if a trader buys a stock at $10 and sets a price target of $12, they will sell the stock when it reaches $12. If the stock falls to $8, the trader will buy more shares to average down their cost basis. Price target orders can be placed with most brokerages and are executed when the security trades at or near the specified price.

How do I use Trademound Alert?There are two ways traders use our alerts: Banks, funds and passive traders would use our alerts exactly as we do. They would buy when we buy and sell when we sell. Banks and funds would do this to get strategy diversity. Amateurs do it because they don’t know what else to do (and the results have very high average returns). Professional traders use our alerts like any other indicator… as confirmation on trades. We may be in a long position for a week or so and during that time, day-traders may trade 50 times. By using our alerts as indicators, they’ll ignore sell side signals they see thereby reducing the amount of trades they place and increasing their percentage of accuracy.
