Level 2 · From Prices to PracticeRisk management

Definition

A pre-planned exit that limits loss if the trade idea is wrong. It is a risk-control tool, not proof that a trade cannot lose more during a gap.

Understanding Stop-loss helps traders interpret market information, plan decisions, and manage risk with more context.
