If you want to sell a pair from a resistance level, the limit sell is used. If you want to sell a pair from 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 pair from 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 and stop buy apply to bullish market. limit buy is buying from below the present price and stop buy is buying of the resistance level breakout (above present price). Hope this can help.
