Stop loss and limit orders

Stop loss and limit orders allow investors to set a price which, if reached, triggers an instruction to buy or sell a particular share:

  • Buy limit – an order to buy a share, which is triggered if the offer price drops to, or below, a price set by you.

  • Sell limit – an order to sell an existing shareholding which is triggered if the bid price rises to, or above, a price set by you.

  • Stop loss – an order to sell an existing shareholding which is triggered if the bid price falls to, or below, a price (the stop price) set by you. This could be used when you buy a share to give you some protection and help minimise the loss should the share price fall.

All executed limit orders are charged at our normal online and telephone dealing rates, determined by how you place your instruction. Find out more about our charges.

Stop loss and limit order risks

Hargreaves Lansdown cannot guarantee that your stop loss or limit order will be executed, even if the share price reaches the limit price or stop price you have set. If you are not comfortable with this, you should not use this service.

Also, please be aware that limit orders for overseas shares last for only one business day.
