Here we'll look over the steps on how to place a stop-limit order on the new order screen of the MetaTrader5 (MT5) app for Android and iOS mobile devices. Stop-limit orders will execute a limit order once the rate reaches a predefined trigger price. Set a trigger price higher than the current for a buy stop-limit order, and a lower trigger price for a sell stop-limit order. Once the trigger price is achieved, the limit order will be placed.
