Stop-buy order

Buy order that is not executed until the price of a stock rises above a particular level

When an investor places a stop-buy order, the stock will be purchased as soon as the price has risen beyond an established limit. Stop-buy orders are useful if an investor wishes to purchase a stock only after it has been "discovered" by other investors or broken through a resistance line, for example.
