What is the difference between a Stop order and a Stop Limit order?

When using a Stop order (STP), you only designate one price: your Stop Price.

Once your Stop Price is hit, it will trigger a market order for execution.

When using a Stop Limit order (STP LMT), you must designate two prices: a Stop Price and a Limit Price. Once your Stop Price is hit, it will trigger a limit order at the price you designated for execution.
