    The name "stop limit' is not as complicated as the name suggests. 


    When you want to put a stop loss to your Apple stock, say $335.  When Apple stock drops to $335, your sell order has just become a market order.  Hence, it becomes the market order for the next "sell".  It could sell for higher or lower than $335 depending on the market condition.


    On the other hand, a "STOP LIMIT" order is an order that, when Apple hits $335, a limit order kicks in: say $335.25.  It now has become a limit order unlike the earlier example which is a market order.
