It sounds like an order that was rejected because it was already filled. This could happen in the situation if you submitted an order, maybe it didn't get filled so you decided to change some aspect of the order but by the time you finished it had already been filled. You can reach a specialist directly by phone using 800-435-4000 if you want them to look up your account with you and view that order. ^CH
It's a matter of understanding terms. A trailing stop (as well as a market stop) will close out a long position. Selling short is when you initiate or open a short position. If you have not already done so, feel free to call 800-435-4000 to review this with a Specialist as soon as possible. ^CH
Why are manual stops/buys faster to initiate than automated stops/buys. It’s difficult for me to trust the platform… however I know it takes practice to become proficient with these tools.

During a stop market order why would the investor want to Sell at a Trigger price that is lower than the current stock or sell lower than trigger price. Why would you want to sell low I thought you would Want to sell high always
The idea of a stop order would be to limit further losses if the stock continued to move down. Here's a great webcast from Schwab Coaching that explains the methodology and mechanics of stop orders. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TiluIL0yFUs.htmlsi=zig5IV3WE_XYPwGw ^BW

Hey Learning. I'm going to give you a link to a webcast that goes into detail about placing orders. You might find it helpful. ru-vid.comQD_vt9O5LhQ ^CH
Still don't get it. The first guy I watch make a "Beginners" video and start talking about stop loss, long and short position. How do I suppose to know these terms as a complete beginners without google it before hand? Bad examples and almost useless info graphic. Junk instructor everywhere. Smooth and fast video != good explanation
I just listened to the entire video. It's a clear presentation with definitions that beginners need to know, and no need to look up any terms before the video. You could try reviewing it again. Repetition is the mother of all learning. ^CH
