You can do a GTC, but there is generally a time limit.

Piggybacking off of this (but think it’s a relevant, albeit dumb, question) but are stop losses indefinite and something you can setup and forget? Or do you have to renew it every so often?


If you place a “Good-til-cancelled” order, or GTC order, it will be good for some set time based on your broker. Typically going to get at least 90 days.

Invest it in a family dog instead


Then when it has to go to the vet at 3:00 am for doing dog things your investment and now life savings are at risk from getting drained on the vet bill.

You can buy a 2yr Treasury note. It should beat CDs and give you price appreciation when rates fall. Notes are different than T-bills in that they’ll pay coupons since they’re issued with longer maturities.
