Stop Loss

Summary

A stop loss is a trading strategy used to limit potential losses on an investment.

Detailed Description

A stop loss is an order placed with a broker to buy or sell once the stock reaches a certain price. It's used by traders to minimize losses by exiting declining positions before they incur further losses. In cryptocurrency trading, a stop loss order automatically sells an asset when its price falls to a specified level, thereby reducing the potential for larger losses.
