If you want to sell a p a resistance level the limit sell is used. If you want to sell a p the breakout of a support level the stop sell is issued.
Use EUR/USD as example the present price is around 1.2280. If you want to sell this p the price of 1.2320 then you set a limit sell order. Once the price reaches 1.2320 the pending order will be activate.
If you want to sell at the breakout of the 1.2270 support then a stop sell order can be placed at 1.2268/2261. So when the price drops below 1.2270 the stop sell pending order will be activated.
Both conditions apply to bearish market if you believe the market is going down.
Limit buy stop buy apply to bullish market. limit buy is buying below the present price stop buy is buying of the resistance level breakout (above present price). Hope this can help.
