I need some guidance for Setting stop losses. I would like to be able to maximise any potential gains and limit losses should the share price drop.
If I want to set a Falling Sell, or a Trailing sell, then I can set the "trigger" value, no problem.

However, I am confused about setting the limit price, which is a requirement, in placing the order in Commsec. If I set a trigger value, then that indicates that I want to sell all of my shares. Why then would I need to set a limit, at which I do not want to sell my shares?

You can set at .002 increments on your trigger. eg falling sell, trigger at .182 to sell at price target of .18 and visa versa.
