Stop-Loss Order
What does it mean?
An order placed with a broker to sell a security when it reaches a certain price. It is designed to limit an investor's loss on a security position.
Also known as a "stop order" or "stop-market order".
Investopedia says...
In other words, setting a stop-loss order for 10% below the price you paid for the stock would limit your loss to 10%.
It's also a great idea to use a stop order before you leave for holidays or enter a situation in which you will be unable to watch your stocks for an extended period of time.

On paper, it's great. In reality it is not.

It is also one of the reasons why stock market crashes can be as serious (the magnitude relative to time) as what happened in 1987. The lollapalooza effect of it is not unlike the force selling in highly leveraged investors.

Trade/invest on a longer term. Dont go for quick money when you do not have time to monitor.
