🛑 What is a Stop Loss?
A Stop Loss (SL) is an order placed to automatically close a trade when the market moves against you, helping to limit potential losses.
🔎 How does a Stop Loss work?
When you open a trade, you can set a price level where:
If the market reaches that level,
Your position will be closed automatically.
This helps control risk and prevents losses from increasing beyond your chosen limit.
📊 Example
If you buy EUR/USD at 1.1000 and set a Stop Loss at 1.0950:
If the price drops to 1.0950,
The trade will close automatically,
Limiting your loss to that level (subject to market conditions).
📌 Important Notes
Stop Loss does not guarantee exact execution price during high volatility (slippage may occur).
It is a key tool in risk management.
You can modify or remove your Stop Loss while the trade is open.
