Buy Stop Order definition

Buy Stop Order is order to buy security at higher than current price if/after that higher price is reached.

For example, say ABCD is trading at 20. Buy Stop Order to buy 1000 shares of ABCD at 22 will only be executed if/after ABCD price reaches 22. At that point the order becomes "Buy 1000 shares of ABCD at market price".
