What is “Sell-High”?

What is “Sell-High”?

Investors set a specific selling price and the system will place an order automatically after the price is reached. The difference with “Take-Profit” smart order is that “Sell-High” order can set a specific price to sell rather than a ratio. These two types of orders are set to lock in profit.
