Can someone please explain the differences among:
-Limit Order
Buy and sell at a fixed price. If NF trading at 4950 and you want to buy at price less than the mkt price say 4940, then you punch in limit order. Same way if you want to sell at a price highet than the LTP, you punch in limit sell order: Sell at 4960. Limit orders will ensure that you trade at the price that you want or at a price more beneficial to you.
-SL Order
To be used under two circumstances
You already have bought NF at 4950. You want to lose no more than 10 points on that, then you punch in SL order
Sell NF at 4949 (limit price) with trigger at 4950. When a trade occurs at 4950 your order is released into the system and it gets sold between 4949 and 4950 or even higher if the mkt just shoots up after hitting 4950.
Suppose you want to open a fresh shorting position, then also you use the SL order. If you want to short below 4940. Sell at 4939, trigger price is 4940. As soon as 4940 is traded your order is released in the market and sells between 4940 and 4939.
-SL-M Order
This is same as the SL order with the essential difference that you only specify the trigger price and the order gets executed at market price. It can again be used either to square an existing position or open a new one both long and short.
