Stop Loss

What is Stop Loss

A Stop Loss order is an advanced trading tool that enables users to limit potential losses by selling a token if its price moves against their position. For example, suppose a token’s price drops by a predetermined percentage. A stop-loss order helps ensure it is sold at the best available price, protecting the user’s portfolio from further losses.
