#StopLossStrategies Stop Loss strategies are key tools for managing risks in investments, allowing potential losses to be limited by setting a predefined price to close a trade if the market moves against it.
Types of Stop Loss Strategies:
Fixed Stop Loss:
A predetermined price level is set, typically based on a percentage of the entry price, to automatically close a trade.
Dynamic Stop Loss (Trailing Stop):
It automatically adjusts as the asset price moves in favor of the investor, allowing for maximized gains without the need to manually modify the order.
Percentage Stop Loss:
A loss limit is set based on a percentage of the invested capital.
Stop Loss based on Support and Resistance:
It is established considering key levels from technical analysis, such as support and resistance zones.
Benefits of using Stop Loss:

Protects capital from significant losses in case of adverse market movements.
Risk Management:
Allows defining the maximum level of risk one is willing to take in each trade.
Automation:
Reduces the need for constant market monitoring and impulsive decision-making.
Discipline in Trading:
Helps maintain a consistent investment strategy and avoids the temptation to hold losing positions for too long.
