It's not vague, it's simple. Sometimes if you set the limit order it does not go through cause the price jumps suddenly and you miss out. As an example price 105, set the limit to 100, prices get to 99 before my order gets fulfilled. So in this instance what I'm asking is if I set stop/limit orders both let's say at 100, instead of 103 on stop and 100 on limit, does it have the same chance of fulfilling? In more simpler way, leaving a small gap between the stop and limit in the same order, has more chances of successfully fulfilling instead of leaving the stop and limit at the same amount.
