trooperGlossary: stop-loss order 📚
a stop-loss order is a type of order that automatically sells a trader's position when the price of an asset falls below a specified level. this tool is designed to limit potential losses by exiting a trade before the price drops further. it’s often used to protect capital and reduce risk in volatile markets. for example, if you buy eth at $2,500 and set a stop-loss at $2,400, your position will automatically sell if eth drops to $2,400, helping you avoid further losses. traders use stop-loss orders to manage risk and avoid emotional decision-making. a common mistake is setting the stop-loss too close to the current price, which can result in being "stopped out" during normal market fluctuations. it’s important to balance risk protection with giving the trade enough room to move naturally.
