hard · Market Microstructure

A trader holds a long position and places a 'stop-limit' sell order with a stop price of 90.00 and a limit price of88.00. Following a negative overnight announcement, the stock gaps down and opens at $85.00.

What is the status of the trader's order?

  1. The order is triggered and converted into a limit sell order at $88.00, which remains unfilled.
  2. The order is not triggered because the price never traded exactly at $90.00.
  3. The order is triggered and executes immediately at the opening price of $85.00.
  4. The order is cancelled by the exchange because the opening price was below the limit price.
