Switch Order
An order to a broker to buy a security and sell the same security, but only if the broker can achieve a certain price differential. For example, an investor may make a switch order to buy a certain number of shares of Stock X and sell the same number of shares, but only if the broker can sell them at $3 more per share. If the broker is unable to do this, then no part of the order is executed.
