Here we'll look over the steps on how to place a stop order on the new order screen of the MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5) app for Android and iOS mobile devices. Stop orders can be used to limit losses or open a new position after a breakout. Set a higher price than the current for a buy stop order, and a lower price for a sell stop order.
