stop-loss order

Read a random definition: negotiating bank

A quick definition of stop-loss order:

A stop-loss order is a type of instruction given to a broker to buy or sell a security when its price reaches a certain level. This helps investors protect themselves from losses by setting a predetermined price at which they want to sell or buy. For example, if an investor owns a stock that is currently worth $50 and sets a stop-loss order at $45, the broker will automatically sell the stock if its price drops to $45 or below. This can help prevent the investor from losing too much money if the stock's price continues to fall.

A more thorough explanation:

A stop-loss order is a type of order in the stock market that instructs a broker to buy or sell a security when its price reaches a certain level, known as the stop price. This order is used to limit an investor's loss or protect their profit.

For example, if an investor buys a stock at $50 per share and sets a stop-loss order at $45, the broker will automatically sell the stock if its price drops to $45 or below. This helps the investor limit their loss if the stock price continues to fall.

Another example is if an investor buys a stock at $50 per share and sets a stop-loss order at $55, the broker will automatically sell the stock if its price rises to $55 or above. This helps the investor protect their profit if the stock price starts to decline.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
