I bought BABA at 160 and now its at $170, I want to sell it if it crosses below $155 a share so I can't lose more than that. I'm on ameritrade what is that called to sell it? Its prob a sell limit or a sell stop limit??

Well I just placed a sell market order and it activates at $156... Baba is at about $171... So if BABA gets down to $156 my order sells for sure around that market price right??

Whats a good app or site to buy stocks ive been interested in this past couple weeks
TDameritrade is pretty good, they have a trading platform called Think or Swim that is popular with traders and comes free if you open an account. I also have a small account on Webull that I use as for short term trades. Both have zero fees to trade, but there are some upgrades you can pay for.
I use both.

Fuck robinhood. They are owned by some of the worst financial gangsters in the industry. They stopped their clients from buying securities in January. Fidelity is good.

I used Scottrade for years and now it's TD Ameritrade. I haven't had any issues.

I do have a Robinhood account but less than $10,000 on it. It's just a backup, play around account for now. If they can expand their crypto trading I'll use them more often. It would be nice to be able to trade crypto and stocks on the same platform.

Robinhood is a good place to start till you learn a little, trades are free. Just remember you aren't allowed to day trade, once in a while is ok. I think it's less than 4 a week? I can't remember because I don't do it. As said above, the better software is Amertrade and a good site to get started at is also https://finviz.com. The best I've ever been able to do is basically match the market other than some risky trades in crypto, but I wouldn't recommend that, you can make some good money, or lose some good money doing that. Only takes one asshole on Saturday night live to wipe out billions.

Yeah you have to make sure you don't get "Musked" when trading crypto.
