**Step 3: Enter the Stop-Loss Price**

1. Enter the price at which you want the stop-loss order to trigger. For instance, if you bought the token with 0.030 WETH, you might want to set a stop-loss at 0.015 WETH to minimize potential losses.
2. You can also specify the number of tokens to sell when the stop-loss condition is met. For example, as shown in the image, you could choose to sell your full balance of 6,405,162 PEPE if the value drops below 0.015 WETH.\

#### Best Practices for Using Stop-Loss Orders

* Use Realistic Stop-Loss Levels: Set a stop-loss that gives the token room to fluctuate naturally, avoiding selling too soon due to normal market volatility.
* Review Market Trends: Analyze the token’s price trends before setting a stop-loss to ensure you're choosing an effective trigger point.
* Combine with Take-Profit Orders: Protect your gains by combining stop-loss orders with take-profit orders, which automatically sell your token once it reaches a certain profit level.

Setting a stop-loss order is crucial to managing risk and securing your trading strategy, especially with memecoins. With Intentable, you have the tools to trade confidently while maintaining control over your investments.
