How do I place a stop loss order on Etrade.?

Enter a STOP LIMIT order.  Specify the hit price...ie you have a stock that is $50.  You enter a STOP LIMIT order at $40.  If the stock hits $40, your order becomes an active MARKET order to sell the stock (not necessarily at $40).\n\nIf you want to sell at a fixed price you can do a STOP LIMIT order.  Once the stock hit $40, it becomes a LIMIT order at a specified price.  You may choose $38 for example.\n\nHope that helps.  I use etrade so if you have any other questions feel free.

It should be on their checks in the lower left hand area.  The number between the box images are the routing number.  If that doesn't work for you, try calling their 800 number.  Their customer service employees should be able to answer this for you.

I just tried to answer this question, typed several paragraphs, then you pulled it. What's the deal?\n\nAnyway, I also sold the EUR this morning, but got stopped out on the spike up at 8:30 prior to the decline. It then declined 50 pips.\n\nIf you had used a trailing 20 pip stop, your trade would have worked out fine.\n\nDon't you move your stop to breakeven when it goes in your favor?\n\nYou did the right thing by executing on the short side, but just didn't manage it when it started running. You have to know that a news release that cements in another rate hike is going to cause volatitility.\n\nThe reasons it went a certain way are unimportant. Just because it doesn't do what you expect is no reason not to trade it. Just follow price and volume, increase your odds, and decrease your risk where and when possible. Sometimes there are no reasons, and you would rarely trade if you had to have a reason every time from some media talking head.\n\nTrade the Mini when volatility increases if you can't afford to lose $1,500.

First research, research, research.\n\nYahoo finance has some excellent tools as well as a glossary of financial terms and stock screeners.\nI would recommend creating a practice portfolio for a few weeks.  List the stocks you are thinking of buying and use a performance view using the current price.  Yahoo will tell you how much money you have lost or gained.  I recommend a diverse portfolio. (don't put all your eggs in one basket)\n\nTry that for about a month and then use one of the online companys like scottrade or etrade for reasonable commissions.\n\nGood luck

The best way to do that is go direct through caterpillar via their direct reinvestment progam ( DRIP ).\n\nTheir # is: 309.675.4619\n\nDon't buy through a traditional broker if you can help it due to the high overall commission.\n\nfor other info: http://www.advancedwealthsolutions.com

Trigger Price is a generic term that applies to trades of all kinds of investments - not only for derivatives.\n\nThere are different types of ways you can trade ( Let's use stock for discussion ).\n\nIf you want to buy shares in a company, you can buy it at the current going rate ...Called Market Order\n\nIf you think the current price is too high and the share price will come down, you can choose that price and place an order called Limit Order.  But the problem with this order is, the price may never come to that Limit Price and your will never be executed.\n\nThe above limit price can also be construed as Trigger Price, as it will trigger buy for your order.\n\nBut, it mostly applies to another type of order called Stop Loss ( Limit ) Order, with a couple of it's own variations.\n\nIf you don't want to sit in front of your computer all day long, watching the ticker for price...what you can do is....place a Stop Market Order or Stop Limit Order, with a Trigger Price.\n\nFor Example...say...the share of your favorite company is currentlyy trading at $100/share.  But your gut says, it went up too much too far...and I am more comfortable buying it at $90/share.  So you place a Limit order to buy 100 shares at $90/share. After work you come home and find that the day low was $90.25 and finally closed at $95 for the day.  Your order never got filled because you wanted to buy ONLY at $90 and you feel like you missed the boat by 25 cents.\n\nStop Market/Limit Order comes to your rescue.\n\nEarly that day, if your gut had said..$90/share is a good price, but I am okay with $92/share too, but definitely NOT $100/share.  So, what you should have done is place a Stop Market/Limit Order with $92 as the trigger price.\n\nNow..if you had placed Stop Market Order for $92...as soon as the price crosses $92/share your order would have been executed. But since it became a MARKET ORDER at the trigger price, you PURCHASE PRICE maybe $92 or $90.25 or even $95.\n\nAll your $92 did was trigger the execution your order, which converts into a Market order at that price.\n\nInstead, you could have placed a Stop Limit Order, for a specific $$$ amount, even after your order is triggered by $92.\n\nFYI...Only market order guarantees execution

I have been trading with ETrade and Waterhouse for years and years and have had no problems.\n\nWith Etrade, you can request a SecureID, which produces a random 6 digit code that changes every minute. To log into Etrade you need to type in the secret code + your password. That is more secure.

Hi Daniel,\n     The truth is most people end up loosing all their money within the first 60 days of investing in the Forex Market. I've tried many Forex programs, signals, robots, etc, and spent countless hours trying to study charts and read graphs, and the FreedomRocks trading system has turned out to be one of the only true money makers for me. If you interested in learning about the smart way to trade that takes the guesswork out of investing in the Forex check out www.smartforexinvestor.com  If you have any questions just let me know.\n\nBest Regards,\n\nYo Fujikawa\n1-800-670-2683
