Good evening/morning,
Like to find out which brokerage or security has stop-loss feature in their shares trading platform?
Understand that "Lim & Tan" currently do not have it.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers

I dont think it is a good idea to have this stop-loss feature if you are a true value investor.
Let's say as a result of your hard work and scuttleboat, you have determined that company A is valued at a minimum of 50 cents, as a result of the pessimistic market, you manage to buy it at 30 cents. Then you go set a stop-loss at 25 cents and because markets fluctuate, you sell at 25 cents... isnt this silly... you sell when your margin of safety gets bigger?
if you are a trader, you may dismiss what i say
Hi Safetyfirst, Temperament,
Thank you for the advice.
The reason is because I feel that my stock has reached above my value. But I still do not want to release it. (sentimental and I am also emotional) I also could not find a better stock. Thus I wanted it to continue to raise if possible.
Thus I was thinking of putting a stop-loss to prevent any drop since it had reached my value/target.
Found out that Poems has a Protrader club but need to pay $80 for 3 months.
Do not want to waste this money.
Cheers
