A stop loss is a price level where you exit a losing trade to cap your loss. If you buy Bitcoin at $100,000 and set a stop at $95,000, your maximum loss is 5% of your position. Stop losses are non-negotiable for serious traders.

Not financial advice. Always use stop losses and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
