# Stop-Limit

Stop Limit is an advanced order type. It is a limit order with an additional trigger (stop) price. This order is hidden from the order book until the market price passes the trigger (stop) price in the order.<br>

{% hint style="success" %}
Use this order type to prevent your position from getting liquidated.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
DISCLAIMER: The STOP-LIMIT order is stored and triggered from the DMEX server. Opening a STOP-LIMIT order implies trusting that DMEX will trigger the order as expected.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
STOP-LIMIT orders are triggered by the price on DMEX, not the mark price.
