Adjustable Stop Order

Trading Term

You can attach one-time adjustments to stop, stop limit, trailing stop and trailing stop limit orders. When you attach an adjusted order, you set a trigger price that triggers a modification of the original (or parent) order, instead of triggering order transmission.

Note that you can adjust any of the parent stop order types to any other stop order type; for example, if you set up a Stop Limit, you can attach the one-time adjustment to change the order to a Trailing Stop, or if you start with a Stop order the adjustment can change it to a Trailing Stop Limit order.

A stop, stop limit, trailing stop or trailing stop limit order with adjustments that modify the stop trigger price, trailing amount or stop limit price. For more information, see the Adjustable Stop Order page.
