Safeguarding Your Financial Assets and Personal Information
Stop Loss
A stop-loss order functions as a risk management tool designed to mitigate potential losses by automatically executing a trade when a security reaches a specified price, thereby providing a safeguard against sudden market fluctuations or downturns.
Consequently, the stop-loss limit can be set as low as 1%, ensuring that the maximum loss on a declining trade is restricted to 1% of the trade’s value.
A stop-loss order is a directive placed with a broker to buy or sell a specific stock once it reaches a predetermined price. This mechanism is designed to limit an investor’s potential loss on a security position. For instance, by setting a stop-loss order at 2% below the purchase price of the stock, the maximum loss on the investment is constrained to 2%.
It is important to note the key distinction between a limit order and a stop order: a limit order is executed only at the specified limit price or more favourable; conversely, a stop order, once triggered at the designated price, is filled at the prevailing market price, which may result in execution at a price different from the trigger price.
What is the most effective stop-loss strategy?
- As a day trader, it is essential to consistently employ a stop-loss order for all trades…
- An effective stop-loss strategy involves positioning your stop-loss at a level that, if reached, indicates a deviation from your anticipated market direction, thereby signalling that your initial market assessment may have been incorrect.
