Stop Order (stop loss)

When you place an order through a broker to sell a stock, you have the option to set a limit price. This means that if the stock's market price drops to the specified limit, the broker will automatically sell the stock for you. This can be a useful tool for managing your investments and protecting yourself from potential losses. Remember to always carefully consider your limit price and make sure it aligns with your investment goals.
