Can you explain how to properly use a stop loss order in the world of cryptocurrency trading? I understand it's a tool to limit potential losses, but I'm unsure of the best practices and strategies when implementing it. What factors should I consider when setting a stop loss, and how can I ensure it's set at an appropriate level to protect my investments while still allowing for potential growth? Additionally, are there any common mistakes traders make when using stop losses that I should avoid?

A stop-loss order is a type of trade instruction placed with a broker, specifically designed to mitigate potential losses in the investment market.

For instance, if an investor sets a stop-loss order at 10% below the purchase price of a security, they can ensure that their losses will not exceed 10% of their initial investment.

The mechanism behind a stop-loss order involves setting a predetermined price level at which the investor wishes to sell their securities.

When the market price of the security reaches or falls below this pre-set level, the stop-loss order triggers, automatically executing the sale of the securities.
