Hi all;
The market has these occasional flash crashes due to… well they never seem sure as to what causes them. But you can have an equity, or the market as a whole, crash 50% and then come back ½ hour later. Or the next day.
Is there a way on a stop loss and/or a market order, to put a minimum sale price? So I can have a stop loss at say $42.00 but to also say only sell if the price is $38.00 or more? And on a buy, only buy on market open if the price is below $44.00.
thanks - dave

Hi David,
a Stop Limit Order should be the right tool here.
