A limit order is an instruction to buy or sell at a specific price or better. It does not execute immediately unless the market happens to be trading at that price. Instead, the order goes into a queue on the order book. That queue is sorted by price first, then by time.
Extended hours trading sounds like a convenience - you can trade before the opening bell or after the market closes. But the rules of the game change completely when the sun is down.
A partial fill happens when the matching engine finds some shares at your price, but not enough to fill your entire order. This is common in thin markets. It is not an error.
You placed a stop-loss at what seemed like a sensible level. Price stabbed through it, triggered your order, and then reversed back above your entry. Your loss is real; the move that caused it is gone. This happens constantly on every timeframe and every market, and the mechanics matter more than th
A stop order is not an order at all. Not until price touches the trigger. Before that moment, it sits in a kind of digital limbo - dormant, watching, doing nothing to the order book.
You try to set a stop-loss. Your broker rejects it. The message reads: “Cannot place stop order on this security.” This is common for certain stocks and crypto assets. It is not a glitch; it is a policy.

How to convert crypto: on-chain vs off-chain
Off-chain (on an exchange)
Your trade happens inside the exchange's own ledger. Nothing
touches the blockchain until you withdraw.
Cheapest and fastest for common pairs
Needs an account and usually ID verification
The exchange holds the coins until you withdraw them
Best for converting to and from cash
On-chain (a DEX or swap)
You swap from your own wallet. The transaction settles on the
chain and you pay its fee.
No account, no custodian — you keep the keys
You pay network fees, which vary a lot by chain
Small or new tokens often only trade here
Slippage and thin liquidity are real costs on low-volume pairs
Before any on-chain swap: check the token's contract address
against a block explorer, start with a small test amount, and review what you
are approving — an unlimited token approval to an unknown contract is how most
wallet drains actually happen.
