What is a Stop-loss – definition for a beginner?


A stop-loss order is an order placed with a broker to close a protected position when a quiet market develops according to an unfavorable situation scenario.

If there is a buy signal (long position), a stop loss will close it if the price falls below a particular level, lower than the opening price.

Stop-loss orders are designed to limit a trader’s loss.
