hi, segun,
You could liken buy stops and sell stops as continuation orders,while buy limits and sell limits would be likened to reversal orders.
BUY STOPS:The current price level is lower than the value of the placed order. Orders of this type are usually placed in anticipation of that the security price, having reached a certain level, will keep on increasing; SO IT IS USED DURING AN UPTREND.


SELL STOPS:. The current price level is higher than the value of the placed order. Orders of this type are usually placed in anticipation of that the security price, having reached a certain level, will keep on falling, SO IT IS USED DURING A DOWNTREND.



BUY LIMITS — . The current price level is higher than the value of the placed order. Orders of this type are usually placed in anticipation of that the security price, having fallen to a certain level, will increase;SO IT IS USED IN A DOWNTREND REVERSAL.



SELL LIMITS:. The current price level is lower than the value of the placed order. Orders of this type are usually placed in anticipation of that the security price, having increased to a certain level, will fall;SO IT IS USED IN AN UPTREND REVERSAL.


Hope you now understand how to use these major order types to get into a trade,mon ami.
