Not impossible to do: they can hedge and/or absorb the cost, hence the premium. They usually also specify a (fairly large) minimum distance for such stops.

That's exactly what I proposed in my response. Big corp can waiver the extra costs to match your limit. Glad we finally got to that part of my response. The question is: will they? Probably not. Do brokers do it? I haven't seen any. Maybe you know more.
