If i want to sell some stocks on e*trade at a certain price what do i pick as my price type?

Question

if i bought abc at 3.22 and i want to sell it when it gets to 4.00 how do i do that.

Answer 1

that would be entirely up to you. you have to research and learn everything you can about stock before trying to be a stock trader. good luck.

Answer 2

Just enter a sell order

to sell the stock at 4.00 GTC (open)

You can select any price you want.

Answer 3

Use a limit order and specify the price.  So if you wanted to buy ABC company only if it dropped to 45 from its current price of 50, set a buy limit order for 45, and it will be only executed at 45 or less.

Answer 4

Enter a SELL LIMIT order of 4.00 Now that you have entered your sell level to capture certain gains, if the stock price goes up, have you considered the other possibility of the stock price going down below 3.22. At what value do you want to get out to prevent further losses? You can use a SELL STOP order for this.

Answer 5

You want to put in a limit order with a price. This will only allow the transaction to take place at a price equal or higher than your price.
