Stop
Loss |
 |
An
order placed with your broker to sell or buy to cover your open
position at a particular price. |
 |
A stop loss is designed to limit
the amount of trading capital that can be lost from any one particular
trade or investment, or to lock in a profit.
Most traders recommend using a stop loss whether it is mental (a
price remembered by the traders) or physical (logged with a broker).
Stop loss orders can be used to cover all or part of a position. |
