Stop loss
3 guides in Finabase Learn
- Average True Range (ATR): volatility, stops and position size How Wilder’s Average True Range measures volatility including gaps, a worked Micron example, using ATR for stops and position sizing, and how Finabase computes it.
- Position sizing: how many shares to buy for a set risk How fixed-fractional position sizing turns a risk budget and a stop distance into a share count, with worked examples, ATR-based sizing and the common traps.
- Stop-loss placement: volatility, structure and time stops Where traders place stop-losses (ATR multiples, chart structure, percentages, time) and why a stop order never guarantees its price, shown on a real AAPL gap.
Educational content, not investment advice. Finabase Learn explains how markets and tools work. It does not recommend any security or strategy, and examples are for illustration only. Investing involves risk, including the loss of principal. Rules and figures are for the United States unless stated and can change — check the cited source before you act.
