    In the context of digital currencies, stop orders and limit orders work similarly to how they work in traditional financial markets. A stop order is triggered when the price of a digital currency reaches a certain level, and it is executed as a market order. This means that the order will be filled at the best available price, which may be different from the stop price. On the other hand, a limit order is executed at a specific price or better. If the market price reaches the limit price, the order will be filled. Otherwise, it will remain open until the price reaches the specified level. Both stop orders and limit orders can be useful tools for managing risk and executing trading strategies in the digital currency market.
