I'm just now switching to Fidelity after years of dabbling in TOS. One of the reasons I initially went with TD was because of how popular the platform is and how many videos there are for it. Your videos on configuration and things like trade armor are so incredibly valuable. Fidelity should be paying you a commission.

A well explained video, I still continue to urge beginners to test their skill by practicing with a demo account or get a qualified personnel to assist you.

You are one of the few people experienced and providing tutorials on Fidelity ATP. Fidelity is totally inadequate in their tutorials on the site and on KZfaq. Thank you very much for your work. You may not be reaching a lot of people but your videos are very much appreciated. Thank you!

Wow. This is the first one of your videos I have seen. It is so much more helpful than Fidelity's own videos. I can't tell you how appreciative I am. Thank you!

love your patience and delivery.... concise, thoughtful and it never hurts to repeat things over and over and over to reinforce the details

Wow really appreciate you taking the time and doing this. So very helpful!!

I am blown away! Perfect video presentation. Your style is very clear, logical and fully understandable. I will now search for all your options videos too. Thank you much!

Great video, thanks so much for explaining them all. I will watch this a few more times lol.

Another exceptional video! The content is relevant and the presentation is clear and easy to understand. Thank you for taking the time to produce this content. You rock!

you got my "like" . i love your explanations on how these order work and how they trigger, you make it so easy to understand

Amazing as always. Thanks for really diving into the nitty gritty stuff that everyone else just kindof assumes you know. Doing it with live market participation made it more exciting too :)

This video is GOLD! Thanks a million Kent!

This was awesome!!! really appreciate your time doing this.

Holy crap. Great video. Super clear and well explained. Thanks for taking the time to explain these orders types.

Subscribed. Great content. Clear explanations. Your work is very much appreciated.

Awesome video I repeat watching it many times to understand order types, it's a great guide. Great job. Thank you so much.

I never comment on videos, but this is a very informative video. Thank you.

older video, but very helpful, thank you for the refresher

One of the best contents I’ve found on this channel and not in the others. Thanks for the live demonstration and experience. I would love to learn more if you offer any educational sessions/courses.

Really informative and easy to understand video. it explained a lot for me on how those stop losses work. thank you so much for sharing

Thank you Kent! Man ur a Godsend…appreciate ur time and content 🙏

This is the main question i've been trying to figure out and u answered them in this video. Thanks again!

As a novice, I thoroughly understood your explanation of these stop practices! Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic video! So fantastic I hate myself for not seeing it sooner. Several trades went completely against where I thought they were headed and by the time I became aware, I fell into the trap of waiting more ⏲ to see if they would improve at least a little to minimize my 📉. They never do, they compound the loss and pour gasoline ⛽ on the dumpster 🔥 you've set. Thank you sir. Thank you so much.

thank you for super informational video on SL, had been wondering how to use these.

Awesome, just started with this platform, your videos are a huge help👍

Thanks! Just what I needed.

Best explanation! Thank you

Well explained video. Will check out the Trade Armor video for bracket orders.

Wow, fantastic video, I had no clue how to use these but know I do, I actually made a PDF of all the screenshots with my own words, using your comments

one of the best videos for stop loss - THANKS

This was very helpful Thank you

Thanks man, appreciate this video quality explanations. Wish I would have watched this a few days before I started trading.

Great educational video....thank you

Excelente vídeo Señor.

Excellent. Thanks!

Thank you sir. This was very helpful.

Wonderful video - thank you.

Excellent...just what i was looking for...thanks

Really clear explanation

Thank you for posting this

very nice presentation, thank you

excellent explanations!

Extremely well done. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for the stop 🛑 trading order example.

Very helpful. I have not used stop or stop limit orders. I feel educated to try them out. Then as I get comfortable, I may use it more. Thank you

Used the trailing stop for the first time today on ATP. Worked perfectly.

Very useful video. Thank you.

thank you so much . for your help.

Great content!!! I really appreciate your videos. I learned alot from you on how to use fidelity. For some I don't have trailing stop orders as an option in my directed trade and extended orders windows.

This video is gold!!

Awesome video thanks

Much appreciated 🙏

Like how you explain thank you

Great videos! Thanks for doing it! Quick question, can you trade futures in ATP?

Thank you for this video. I will try it out. It looks like in Fidelity ATP, But to Cover order and Buy order are two different thing. If you have a short position, you must use Buy to Cover order to close, not Buy order to close.

Hey Man great content ; Can you buy a option contract and place a stop loss on the same order ticket on fidelity ?

This is extremely helpful in getting the most out of Fidelity's platform. Thanks!

Nice video. Thanks! How do you get Fidelity Active Trader to perform so well? I was in IT for decades and have a plenty fast laptop with plenty of memory and Active Trader is the slower app on my laptop. Most of my accounts are in Fidelity, but because of this performance issue I feel like moving to another platform. Thanks for any advice on tweaking the platform for performance.

Wow I have been trying to figure this out for some time, thanks much! Sub+1

Great info..!! Been using Fidelity almost 2 years almost every day and haven't understood/known about the trailing stop and such orders.. small account so what i do is limited. Will definitely watch the TRADE ARMOR video and put that info into practice... I thought Fidelity didn't have that option... duh

Hi Kent, Thanks again for a very informative video, really appreciate the insights you are sharing. I did have a question on stop losses. When you place a trailing stop on fidelity, do you base it on the last price, the bid or the ask? Thanks Gary

Hi Kent, I have a question regarding Good 'til Canceled orders in fidelity ATP. If i submit a Good 'til Canceled order to sell (limit order), would it sell in Extended hours (pre or after) when it my limits? How do I make sure to place a limit order beforehand to sell a certain stock so i dont have to wait during pre-after market hours? I had bad experience with a specific stock (NIO) plummeting after hours before I could sell.. in other words, what is the best way to set up stop loss order in advance for extended hours? I did not see this in your video.. could you please clarify for us?. Once again, Thanks for your help and your videos.

Thanks for the technical steps on how to place a stop order... Any guidance on what percentage of loss (with minimal loss of opportunity) we ought to put our stop orders?

Great info, thanks Kent. The 'buy stop' was always confusing. Quick question, sometimes after placing a market order (long position) I'll notice it can be immediately down $20-$100 !! Is this the difference between the bid and the ask? Also is this why you use that 'level 2' so you can see a 'closer spread'? My 1 or 2 minute candle will be green so I buy then YIKES, down big right after placing the order !! ??

Very helpful! If I’m interested in a swing trade and put a stop buy order in, is there a way to indicate to sell it at a trailing stop loss in the buy order? Or do I have to wait until the buy order is executed to specify the sell criteria?

Do you have a vido on Stop Orders and Take Profit on Options? Would like to set these at the sametime.

This is very useful, thank you for posting! My question is = what's the difference between Buy Limit (at a price you want) and Buy Stop Limit? And same on the short side? They seem to be the same, no? Why would we use one over another? Many thanks in advance for the answer!

Question: Can we put a stop order (to save ourselves from a huge loss) and a limit order (to take profit when the stock goes in our direction), in the same order? For example, if I bought AAPL share at 130, I want to place a single sell order for both: 1. Sell if AAPL goes below 128, sell at market price 2. Sell if AAPL goes above 135, sell at market price That means, whatever condition is met first, the corresponding order gets executed.

do I have to fill out a profit target in the trade armor buy triggers bracket? could i just leave it blank and manually sell when i want to?

thanks for the video...So If I wanted to sell a % of my stock at various price points would I need to look into the Sell Bracket? Or would I just need to set up multiple sell limit orders/sell stop limit order? I read there are conditional orders but I'm not concerned about selling if it drops but just to sell if it goes up. TYTY

Thank you for the video very helpful. Question, instead of canceling the open trailing stop order can we just update it to sell? Having to cancel to sell takes too much time to do when every second counts.

when you setup these stops can you still manually sell? Think or swim doesn't allow you to touch your damb position if you've setup a stop orde that's waiting in the background

How did you replace the 'preview' button with the 'place' button on the Active Trader Pro? Thanks.

To new guys, just a heads up, I had many stocks STOLEN from me using a STOP order during the flash crash because the markets crash and my stocks sold at ridiculously low prices. I learned the hard way, it was very very painful. Because during the flash crash, their was no liquidity, so the stock sold at market bids that were 20 or 30% under the current price. My YTD gains were eradicated in seconds. I was new and didn't use limit orders or other types.

Thanks for that. One question on the Buy Stop order you discussed that you placed at $35. Lets say i did that Buy Stop order of 100 shares at $35 and the price triggered the order going up past $35. Before the price was triggered at $35 could I have placed a Sell Stop Loss at lets say $34 to protect myself in the case that the order was filled at $35 and ran higher but then came back down below $35? I guess I'm asking that because if I were to have placed the Sell Stop Loss 100 shares at $34 I actually didn't own the stock yet because when I placed this order the $35 hadn't been triggered yet. Second question or scenario. Same 100 shares Buy Stop placed at $35. Could I also have placed a trailing stop loss before the $35 had been triggered? Thanks for your great video. It's so nice to have someone help navigate Fidelity Active Trader Pro. I've watched every one of your videos over the past few weeks and its really been helpful in fine tuning my trading experience and has paid off already. I feel much more comfortable in my knowledge and my screen setup has change based on the info you've shared and it's helped me to execute trades more confidently. Thanks again. PS. If your looking for a new topic to cover maybe a short video on how to 'Link Tools" would be great. I've linked a few tools but its a bit confusing in regards to the color coding. Also maybe explain the benefits or scenarios where this tool would be helpful as a trader.

Very informative and helpful. What if I am placing my buy order over the weekend, can I set up, for example, a trailing stop before my buy order has been filled? Or do I need to wait until it fills next trading day, and then place a trailing stop or whatever other stop loss?

If you wanted to sell half of your position at a certain price and let the other half ride, is there a feature for this? great video!

@Think Trade Profit On Trailing Stop %; is this something you need to enable? Its not available on my version of ATP. All that is available to me is Trail Stop $ and Trail Stop Limit $. I trade options by the way

Hi, is there a way to set up out buttons to buy and sell without selecting the place button? Which we had hotkeyes on Fidelity.

can you do the stop orders/trailing stops from the trade window also if you put 1 it's 1 share so if your doing options is that by the hundreds (100=1 option 200=2)

Do you have a video that goes over how to manage a position if say you're in 100 shares, and you want to take off 50. Let's assume after you bought the initial 100 shares, you put in a stop. What's the most efficient way to do it in ATP? Seems like in the direct trade ticket you'd have to cancel the existing stop, then take off the 50 shares, and then add another stop for the remaining 50 shares. In Schwab I never had to go through so many steps. Is there an easier way to do it in ATP? Love the videos.

I noticed you had placed a few orders that were waiting. Is it possible to line up a series of stop orders to sell and buy back in at a certain price level?

Can we do all these buy- short- stop- limit with fractional shares? And can we buy fractional options? Much obliged ...

So stop orders can be triggered to sell or buy at market price whenever the price hits that level-regardless of if it is moving up or down?

Can't see well Trade Ticket to small please kindly make it bigger Thank

Hi, what is the option of Conditions on Stop loss orders, the options are None and Do-not-reduce, what is that? Do you connect in person?

as soon as i buy if the price drops then which order type is recomended?i got confused as soon as you talked about shorting,can you do a video on just buy and selling with stop limit orders,stop market etc (,not shorting).

does the trailing stop percentage follow the % behind the current price or the price you purchase at ?

Can you set a hard lower stop, and a trailing stop simultaneously, oco? For most of my trades i don't need a take profit.

When you short in Fidelity. Does it calc the short interest into the trade? Also do you have a discord?

Is there any way to set multiple profit targets with ATP?

Please friend in fidelity if I short sell a stock how I set a buy to cover auto trigger if the stock hits a certain price what would that be called I’m the trade window

Do I have to purchase extra software to do these or can I do it free with my SPY account on fidelity

was trying to follow along its 9pm est on friday. so the market is closed. while following along at trailing stop loss i cannot change order to anything in direct to trade. can you not set buy and sell orders after hours with fidelity?

Thank you for the video. I have a question please do reply, when market crash or if there is so much volatility or even non of the above which following order type could be the best choice for the existing stocks/positions in order to secure the investments? Ty. 1-Trailing stop loss ($) 2- Trailing stop loss (%) 3- Trailing stop limit ($) 4- Trailing stop limit (%)

Kind of new to trading, but i should have learned these trailing stops before… they really have the potential to help you run with the price. One of my issues is I am fearful of a downturn erasing my upside so i tend to sell early and miss out on the full run up. Trailing stops can help me with this. Very cool…. on another note i see i’m not the only one who gets put on settled cash only for the next 90 days 😹 every 90 days i get put back to trading with uncleared cash and, try as i might, it doesn’t take many days before i have sold and bought, then sold again before the trade settles and i’m on restriction again. 🙈 I wonder if there is a way to just tell them i have no self control and if i have money i’m going to be buying and selling so you might as well just leave me on settled cash only for life… 😂

What is " buy to cover" order? Can you please help me understand the difference between "buy" vs "buy to cover". Thanks

Can you do a video how to do OCO order on fidelity?

Is there a way to place a buy and a sell order at the same time instead of having to place a buy order and then the sell order afterwards, I believe thinkor swim let's you place both at once...
