how to place a stop loss

if i buy some share of a stock and put in the order. do i have put in another order to sell and the stop limit?

 

Click BRACKET ORDER (if available).

Then click

STOP
&
TARGET PROFIT.

And key in whatever value you want.

 

Look for bracket orders

 

You only have to put in a sell order if you wish to sell it.

 

%%
EXPECIALLY/
in an up\trending bull market/LOL
EDIT/ since its a hong kong\not king kong stock that went from $4 to $254 +
back to wards $4.44 I would sell @ market post market,today, or any limit today in post market \but only if you wish to sell itLOL

 

For bracket orders do you have to enter both Stop and Profit? I mostly only enter Profit, and leave the Stop field empty and control the stop loss manually. Sometimes such half bracket orders will go through but other times the orders won’t even get accepted.

Anyone knows why?
