The term is widely recognized in São Paulo's financial district (Avenida Paulista) and among traders at B3 (Brasil Bolsa Balcão). In the USA, this tool is essential in day trading culture, particularly in NYC's financial district, where traders routinely employ static stop-losses to protect against sudden market downturns.
