For example, assume that ABC Inc. is trading at $40 and an investor wants to buy the stock once it begins to show some serious upward momentum. The investor has put in a stop-limit order to buy with the stop price at $45 and the limit price at $46. If the price of ABC Inc. moves above $45 stop price, the order is activated and turns into a limit order. As long as the order can be filled under $46, which is the limit price, the trade will be filled. If the stock gaps above $46, the order will not be filled.
If instead a limit buy at $46 were entered while the stock was at $40, then the stock would likely be bought for $40, since the limit order means "buy at any price less than $46". If just a stop order were placed, then the stock could be bought for more than $46, since the stop means "buy at any price as soon as the stock goes higher then $46".
Selling is the same, but the directions are opposite. Suppose the stock in the example above has a current price of $46 and you put in a stop-limit sell with a stop price of $41 and a limit of $40. When the stock drops below $41, a limit sell is placed that will sell your stock for at least $40 if possible. If the stock drops below $40 before your limit order can be filled (e.g. because there are many other sellers front-running you), then your limit order is not filled until the price comes back to $40.
If instead you had just a limit sell, since the price is already above $40 you'd likely get it filled immediately somewhere near $46. A "normal" limit sell is placed above the current price, since a limit sell is "sell the stock at any price above X". With a stop-limit sell, both prices are generally below current market ("sell if the stock drops below X, but don't sell for less than Y") See https://money.stackexchange.com/questions/88719/why-use-a-stop-limit-order-instead-of-a-limit-orderThey're giving a detailed answer Thanks! |

Can't I just use a limit order for everything? Why do I need to execute a stop order before the limit order executes? It seems pointless.

Hello people,
I flipped $20 worth of Blackcoin for 40% profit on Poloniex over the course and cashed out after it dropped 20% on the third week. I just want to know how your experiences flipping for profit have went and whether I can do anything to improve my ROI. Currently I am just looking at the order book and placing trades based on the volume of orders at any certain point (for example, I would place my order in front of a buy wall instead of behind it). I know it is susceptible to spoofing, and I have noticed spoofing before, though I was lucky enough to make a profit despite it.

Anyone know some good resources for learning more about tokenomics?

Yep, really doesn't take a lot to understand mining. Any ordinary Joe can understand the basics of mining, but with a CompTIA certification you're likely better off than the average starter. It's absolutely okay to use calculators- everyone does sometimes for an approximation of break-even time, etc, but don't think that they're absolute by any means. With $400, I would suggest looking at a GPU like the 1070, a decent motherboard, and perhaps 4GB of RAM and booting off a cheap, low capacity SSD or USB. The 1070s come for relatively cheap nowadays- heck, I just found one used for $250 + ~$12 shipping on eBay here. As for mining less mainstream coins, they usually use more well-known algorithms so you can usually use a guide for mining another more popular coin if that other coin happens to use the same algorithm. Using a search engine like Google's extremely helpful too if you ever get stuck on how to do something like flashing a bios for a GPU, etc. Thanks for the information. What about merge mining to maximize profits? How do I do that? |

You should post what computer equipment you have available currently so people can direct you to what you can mine.
Well I have an AMD A6-5200 quad-core CPU and an AMD Radeon HD 8400/R3 Series for graphics, so they're not that great. I've tried using minergate and I only got 40h/s on CryptoNight, waaaay lower than what I need to pay for the electrical usage, let alone make mining worth the time it takes. And any PoW algorithm other than CryptoNight is too futile to try mining. Also, does RAM make a difference in hashrate for PoW (I'm thinking it only makes a difference for Proof-of-Capacity algorithms)? |

*HELP*—how can I go from absolute noob to lvl. 1,000,000 pro cryptominer?
Answer : You dont need : "CompTIA A+ Certification" You going to need : a brain, your own research, learn a lot, need some kind of basic knowledge about computer, firewall, networking, Mining Algorithms, power usage calculation, what is the different between ASIC/GPU/CPU/FPGA/ hardware, and a lot more... And you need to understand a few things :  I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY NEWBIES KEEP ASKING THE SAME QUESTION " ITS TO LATE TO START MINING , IT IS STILL PROFITABLE ? WHY MY EARNING IS LESS THAN ALL THOSE ONLINE CALCULATORS TELLING ME? WHAT IS THE BEST COIN TO MINE ? WHAT IS THE MOST PROFITABLE COIN TO MINE"No one can tell you ! Always going to be a 2 group of ppl who telling you it's ok go for it , or dont bc you just wasting ur money and time ! You have to make a decision for yourself ! Do your own research ! No one can tell you for sure what's going to happen with cryptocurrency ! No one can tell you it's going to be profitable for you or not ! No one can tell you how much profit you going to be able to make ! ( if you can make any at all ) No one can tell you the ROI ( return of investment) time ! No one can tell you what is the best coin to mine ! No one can tell you what is the most profitable coin to mine! Coins profitability always changing, what is best to mine today, maybe going to be the worst to mine tomorrow ! None of those calculators you are seeing on the web can tell you what's coming tomorrow , months later or 6 months later ! Those calculators telling you about today , at that moment when you typing in your information ! None of those online calculators calculating pool luck ! None of those online calculators calculating your stale/rejected or invalid shares ! None of those online calculators able to predict difficulty growth ! None of those online calculators can predict what would be the coin/$ exchanges rates a minutes later, a hour later, tomorrow, next week, months later, 6 months later or a year later ! It's little bit of gambling , you must to decide you want to play on the lottery or not  YES some of us got lucky , made some money with mining YES some of us got unlucky , lost some money , bc when price started to fall , sold they coins , miners... ! INVEST ONLY WHAT YOU'RE WILLING AND ABLE TO LOSE !
! INVEST WITH THE UNDERSTANDING , THAT YOU COULD LOSE EVERYTHING ! Oh, I'm getting the CompTIA A+ for personal reasons unrelated to cryptocurrency. I just listed that as an example of about how little I know about this tech stuff. |

Hello people. I want to mine, but I am not very knowledgeable about all this stuff. I'm just about to get my CompTIA A+ Certification, so that's about my level of technological literacy. I only have about $400 to spend on mining, and I just want to mine crypto to learn stuff, preferably not losing too much money. But it is so confusing! There's Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Capacity and SHA-256 and CryptoNight and BOINC and Scrypt and whatever else, but those don't have a reasonable guarantee of reaching ROI, let alone generating profit. In fact, I might get a better ROI investing in stocks than mining, but I don't really care so long as I learn something without losing money. I would rather mine something novel and less mainstream, but those kinds of tokens usually have few resources on how to mine.

Hello people, I am a freelance writer. Most of the stuff I have written in the past is essays for high school students, as well as some cryptocurrency-related articles. You can view some samples of my work by clicking the link below. So far all of the academic writing I have done has received an A grade (90% or above). I also am able to do school assignments that are not essays as well, like math, science, computer science, etc. homework. I also know basic web markup and styling. Contact me to negotiate pricing. My email is satohshe.knockamoto@gmail.com[You can view some of my work here]( https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5870b9g7222efuv/AAAvfmRGii5M_UpHT2kChEw9a?dl=0) |
