Why use Stop Loss?
eToro Stop Loss
Stop Loss in trading
Once the market moves against your favor in a trade, an automatic instruction to close it is sent. For example, if 1 share is purchased at 500$ with a stop loss of 400$ and the price falls to 399.99$ an automatic instruction is triggered and the stock is sold.
The maximum value of stop loss on the platform is 50% of the amount invested into a position, unless it is a long position with no leverage. These restrictions are implemented to limit the capital loss risks in case market suddenly starts to move unfavorably.
Once a trade is open however, these limits can be surpassed and your balance on the account will be debited, given there are sufficient funds available to keep the Maintenance Margin at the permitted level.
