# Stop Market Once the trigger price is hit, a market order is created. {% hint style="info" %} Please note - it is not possible to set a slippage parameter for stop market orders, so you can be vulnerable to sandwich attacks. For more information, please read the following article: [Stop Market vs Stop Limit](/apex-docs/order-types/stop-orders/stop-market-vs-stop-limit.md) {% endhint %} **Examples** Bitcoin is currently trading at 55k. Alice decides to short 0.1 bitcoin once it trades under 51k. Alice sets a stop market sell order for 0.1 bitcoin at 51k. As soon as it trades under 51k the keeper-bots execute a market sell. Her execution price can be below 51k. Should the market shift rapidly, it can be substantially less than 51k USD. Sushi is currently trading at 20 USD. Bob decides to buy sushi once sushi trades over 25 USD. He sets a stop market buy order with a trigger price at 25 USD. Once sushi trades over 25 USD, the keeper-bots will execute a market buy order on behalf of Bob. His execution price can be over 25 USD. Should the market shift rapidly, it can be substantially more than 25 USD. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
