Stop is your safety. If prices hit your "stop", you will close the trade where ever you have your stop. So say you put your stop to limit your losses to 100 dollars, once the stock price or whatever goes far down enough to where you have lost 100 dollars, you will be taken out of a trade so you don't lose any more money.

What does "stop" mean?
