Stop-Limit/Stop-Market order

A stop-limit/stop-market order is a conditional order which will be triggered when the market reaches a pre-specified stop price, and a limit/market order will be sent afterward.

Kindly Reminder:
1. When you place a stop order, no funds will be frozen for margin usage. But once the order is triggered, the system will freeze the corresponding funds as margin based on the order quantity and the minimum amount of funds needed to open a position. If the balance of your Futures account is insufficient to pay the margin when it is triggered, your stop order will be canceled by the system due to the insufficient balance;
2. After the stop-limit order is triggered, it will be placed at the price set by the user. Stop-limit orders cannot guarantee a deal, and it depends entirely on the current market conditions.
