Stop-Loss
An order type that automatically sells an asset when its price drops to a specified level, designed to limit potential losses on a position. Stop-losses are a fundamental risk management tool in both traditional and crypto trading. In volatile crypto markets, slippage can cause execution at a price worse than the stop level.
