What is stop loss?
A pre-decided price where you’ll cut a losing trade.
Definition
A pre-decided price where you’ll cut a losing trade.
Stop loss, explained
Stops keep one bad trade from ruining a month. Set them when you enter — never after the price has moved against you. Honoring stops is the single most predictive habit of traders who survive long-term.
Where stop loss shows up in a journal
A trading journal is where this stops being a definition and becomes your own number. sizeforzero computes it from the trades you import or log, alongside the rest of your analytics vocabulary, and every figure in the app carries an (i) that explains it in the same plain English you just read.
