The stop limit order combines the characteristics of a stop order and a limit order. A basic stop order will buy/sell your security at the market price once your stop has been reached or passed. A stop limit order will buy/sell the security at a specified price once the stop has been reached or passed. If you use a stop limit, and your limit is too high/low your order may not get filled which will negate the purpose of putting the stop on in the first place. I tend to stick with stop orders if I am trying to protect a loss on a security.

Is there a difference between love you and I love you?

YES. Not a big difference, but there is a difference. When someone says, "love you." They mean it playfully. Like, love ya. Like your saying it to your best friend or something along those lines... When someone says, "I love you," it means they actually love you. They can't stop thinking about you. Yanno?

What is the difference between Future Simple and 'Going to' future?

The Going-to Future is more colloquial. We also tend to use it when there is a mental plan/project to do something, or as a sort of a near future. ex: I'm going to punish you if you don't stop right now! She's going to leave him. They are going to leave on Sunday (but here we might also say "They are leaving on Sunday").
