Stop Loss

PriceRisk Management

The Stop Loss node computes the price level at which an open long position should be exited to limit downside. It supports four calculation modes — percentage, fixed amount, pips, and money risk — and produces a per-bar stop price series suitable for chart overlay and strategy execution.

Calculation Modes

Percentageclose × (1 − stopLossPercent / 100)

Most common mode. Stop floats proportionally to price — useful for equities and crypto. Parameters: stopLossPercent

Fixed Amountclose − fixedAmount

Subtract a constant price from entry. Good when the stop distance is known from chart structure. Parameters: fixedAmount

Pipsclose − pips × pipSize

Forex-native mode. Stop = entry minus N pips. Default pipSize = 0.0001 (4-decimal pairs). Parameters: pips, pipSize

Money ($)close − moneyRisk / positionSize

Specify the exact dollar loss tolerance. Stop distance = moneyRisk ÷ position size. Parameters: moneyRisk, positionSize
