# Stop loss

Activates when return reaches the configured loss.

Node ID: `stop-loss` · Category: Exits · Minimum plan: Free and above

Human page: https://docs.orbi.gg/nodes/stop-loss

## How it works

Trigger a sell or close when the open position reaches the configured negative return.

A 0% stop is active at the entry price; it does not disable this node.

## Settings

| Setting | Config key | Initial value | Details |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Stop % | `returnPct` | -20 | Triggers when price return falls to this level. 0% is an active entry-price stop, not disabled; fees and slippage still apply. Editor range: -90 to 0. |

### Stored defaults

```json
{
  "returnPct": -20
}
```

## Connections

These lists show compatible node types, not approval of every graph. Branch, position context, subscription, no-cycle and complete-exit rules also apply. A node cannot connect to itself.

- Fees, liquidity and slippage still apply. Stops do not guarantee the sale price or limit losses during an outage.
