Trigger orders are an option to create orders according to a previously set condition of the market. The difference from normal orders is that it won’t be executed immediately. It will wait until the condition is met, then it will be submitted as an order to be executed. What this means is that after you create a trigger order, it will wait until the condition is met and will not immediately be part of the market’s depth.
The advantage is that after you have set up the trigger, and the condition is met, you can immediately have your order submitted and not have to do it manually. You can also set up trigger orders to prevent further losses. You can at the same time use trigger orders to close your position to hold your profits when reaching a certain price.

Execution Price
When the condition is met, execute the order with this price. It may be set to a limit order price or market order.
