What is a Stop-Loss Order?

Question: "What is a Stop-Loss Order?"

Answer: "A stop loss order is an order that is triggered automatically by an event. For example, a stop-loss order set for $42 will attempt to be traded as soon as the stock hits that price. It depends on your broker on how long the stop-loss order lasts."
