  Let me give you an example of a stop-limit buy order. Let's say you want to buy Ripple at $1.50, but you're worried that the price might suddenly drop. You can set a stop price at $1.60. Once the price reaches $1.60, your order will be triggered and become a limit order. You can then set a limit price, let's say $1.55. This means that your order will only be executed at $1.55 or better. So, if the price drops to $1.55 or lower, your order will be filled. If the price doesn't drop to $1.55, your order will remain open until it does. This way, you can protect yourself from buying at a higher price than you intended while still having the opportunity to buy if the price starts to rise. It's a useful tool for managing your buy orders in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies.
