Stop-loss orders are fundamental risk management tools in both US and Brazilian financial markets. In the USA, they are widely used by retail and institutional investors as standard practice. In Brazil, they have become increasingly important as the market matures, though some conservative investors still prefer manual monitoring. The term is often used in English even in Portuguese-speaking financial contexts due to the dominance of Anglo-American financial terminology in global markets.
