Re: stop orders on nasdaq?

NASDAQ does not permit stop orders.  NASDAQ is a network of computerized
trading, thus, no stop orders----bid and ask.  Some few brokers will
accept stop orders---they are held in the broker's computer network or
there is a clerk that is supposed to enter the order when the stop is
reached.  LOTS of SLACK in that type of system.
