Stop-loss: your seatbelt

Lesson 6 of 10 in Order Types. Trader grade, 70 XP. Free to read, mission runs live in the terminal.

» A stop-loss automatically sells if price drops to a level you pick.

» It caps your loss so one bad trade can't blow up your account.

» Set it the moment you enter — before emotion takes the wheel.

» Add a stop-loss to a sim position. This single habit saves traders.

Watching a concept is not the same as running it, so every Academy lesson ships with a live mission inside the Tapeboard terminal. This one runs on the paper trading simulator (/simulator). Reading is free; running missions takes a free account.
