To my best of knowledge and my experience in trading.
A stop loss order is an order that contains an instructions to buy or sell, a security that's set once it's price reaches certain point.

Or in other view a stop loss order is an instructions to kill or end a trade once a specific target is exceeded or reached . A stop limit is an order with 2 specific sprice points that have to be met.

The real difference between this 2 order is of specificity. Because a stop loss order allows you to set a percentage loss. For instance, you could set a stop loss to 20% if the price of your security falls 20% or more than from the price you paid, the order is cancelled.

A stop loss is a design to limit an investors loss on security stage that makes an unfavorable move. One best key advantage of using a stop loss order is, you don't need to be monitoring your holdings daily.
While the disadvantage is that a short term fluctuation can activate the stop limit and trigger an unnecessary sale.

To my knowledge, a stop loss order is one of the few mechanisms that you have to protect yourself against adverse movements.

It is a function brought up by brokers to limit losses when market moves in a good contrary direction to your position.
In which you can implement it by setting an exit level of a specified amount of pipe away from your entry price.

✅ Stop loss order helps to automate your selling of stocks. A stop loss will automatically triggered in case stocks reaches a pre-determined price. Which helps investors avoid letting their emotions influence their investment decisions.

Thanks so much for your precious time.
