Could you elaborate on what a stop order is when purchasing Bitcoin? I'm particularly interested in understanding how it differs from a market order or a limit order. Specifically, how does a stop order work in terms of setting a trigger price, and what happens once that price is reached? Does it automatically execute the buy order, or does it require further confirmation? Additionally, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a stop order for Bitcoin purchases? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

Once the stop price is met, the stop order transforms into a market order, executing the buy transaction for bitcoin at the current market price.

Prior to the stop price being hit, these orders remain invisible to the market, ensuring they do not influence price movements or reveal the investor's intentions.

When a designated price, known as the stop price, is reached, the stop order activates.

For instance, if an investor places a stop order to purchase bitcoin at $20,000, the order remains dormant until bitcoin's price reaches that threshold.
