About this lesson

Stop-limit orders can confuse many CFA candidates but the concept is simple when you break it down. In this video, we explain how a stop price and a limit price work together. The stop price activates the order when the market moves against you. The limit price sets the lowest price you are willing to accept. If the price drops quickly, you may not sell at the stop price. You could sell closer to the limit. Understanding this is key for answering exam questions correctly. This topic is part of Equity Markets in CFA Level I. If you are preparing for the August 2026 exam, our Live Online Classes explain these concepts in a clear and simple way.
