Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Order 1 (Buy Stop at $85.00 GTC).
Buy stop orders are entered above the current market price (82.50).Whenthemarketpricetradedupto82.50). When the market price traded up to 86.50, it crossed $85.00, triggering Order 1 into a market order to buy at the next available market price.
Stop orders turn into market orders once triggered, guaranteeing execution but not price.
2
Analyze Order 2 (Sell Limit at $90.00 Day).
Sell limit orders require execution at the limit price or better (higher). The stock's highest price during the session was 86.50,sothelimitpriceof86.50, so the limit price of 90.00 was never met. Because it was designated as a Day order, it expires at the end of the day.
Limit orders mandate minimum price bounds, and Day orders expire at session close if unfilled.
