amoezzi, remember the definition of a limit order. That being said, the limit could go off as soon as its entered or when the stock drops to a set price. If u set a limit order above the current price, u will get the current price, not the limit price. Although u can do a all or none on both types of orders, they are used for 2 diff purposes. The limit, so u dont get beat by the Market maker selling at an inflated price and the Buy stop that WILL be at the higher price by design. To answer your question, no, it is not possible that I know of. Why would you want to do that? Just wondering.

P.S. Just like other stop orders, the price u get might not be the price u set the stop at. Market orders always get executed first.
