Above the Market Terms

Above the market trading involves using stop and limit orders to place an order above the current market price. For example, limit orders to sell and stop orders to buy.

This is a strategy that is often used by momentum traders. For example, a stop order would be placed above the resistance level to buy. Should the security's price break through the resistance level, the investor may be able to participate in the upward trend.
