put a limit order... then after your order is executed then put a stop/loss... never a Market order unless you absolutely need to get out of a stock quickly and can't wait for a limit order... but anyways you should not be trading at all if you do not know the different orders.. means you do not know anything about trading in general... buy some books and educate yourself first.. below is a good starting book:

Maybe I should switch. I'd like to use trailing stops since I can't sit in front of the computer all day.

Thats cause scottrade sucks... still amazes me that people still don't see that and that there are better options out there in terms of a broker... Choicetrade is better IMO .. and they have "Stop" orders and "Stop/Limit" orders ... no trailing stops but from what i gather they will offer that sooner or later.. but anyways with their two stop orders you'll just have to change it manually after market hours (can't change it till 8:30 PM EST because of AfterMarket hours trading) everyday but that is a minor inconvenience as long as you have access to a computer/Internet when you get home at night etc...
