This is precisely the opposite of take-profit. The feature lets you set exactly how much you are willing to risk. With this, you can protect your investment if the market goes down.
Whenever your loss equals or exceeds your stop loss amount, your trade will be closed automatically. When a trade goes against them, traders typically set a stop loss order below the current market price of the asset they are trading.
According to the trading scrapbook, the stop-out indicates when your net loss equals the stake. So, this term is partially related to stop loss. Whether you have a stop loss or not, we’ll close your position if the market moves against you and your loss exceeds the stop-out price.
Let’s say you open a trade with a stake of 10 USD. When your losses reach 10 USD, the automatic stop-out will close your trade. Alternatively, you can set a stop loss level of 5 USD if you want to minimize losses even further.
This amount will automatically close your trade when your loss hits it.
