A stop-loss order is an electronic order that allows an investor to set a cap on the price at which a stock order will be placed.
Assume an investor wants to sell if the stock price falls below a certain level. The investor can set the stop-loss order at the price, and the order will be placed automatically if the stock price is reached.
