■ What is Stop-Loss?｜Basic meaning and necessity
Stop-loss is a mechanism that automatically locks in losses when a held position reaches a certain level of loss and closes it automatically.
There are mainly two meanings
- Forced stop-loss: a mechanism that automatically settles a position according to criteria set by the securities company
- Stop-loss decided by yourself: a self-managed rule where you set the loss-cut line in advance
What beginners should value most is the self-imposed stop-loss. Without this, you may emotionally hold onto positions,increasing the risk of large losses from unexpected crashes or widened spreads.
