Stop-limit order is a specific Trading coordinate in the Bitcoin knowledge graph. In practical terms, it identifies the subject described here: A stop that releases a limit order, controlling price but risking no execution during a gap. This definition is narrower than promotional usage and should be read together with the implementation, date and evidence attached to the entry.
Stop-limit order is best understood as part of a system rather than as an isolated definition. Its related coordinates show the mechanisms, incentives and historical records that give the term practical meaning.
Stop-limit order describes how participants value, trade or obtain exposure to bitcoin. Market behavior can affect adoption and mining economics, but it does not rewrite consensus rules. Price evidence and protocol evidence answer different questions.
Understanding Stop-limit order helps distinguish a verifiable Bitcoin mechanism or historical record from slogans, products and market narratives.
Primary or authoritative records make these details checkable: a stop-limit order activates a limit order when a stop condition is met, separating trigger from the worst acceptable limit price; venue rules define reference price, direction and persistence. They should be verified before using the coordinate in analysis.
The practical limit is: triggering does not guarantee execution and a fast market can trade through the limit; exchange outages, gaps, liquidity, mark-price rules and cancellation behavior matter. A definition, office, chart pattern or published claim is not by itself a prediction or Bitcoin consensus rule.
