Break-even

Moving your stop-loss to your entry price, so the trade closes at about zero if the price returns.

It removes the loss on that trade, but normal pullbacks will also close many trades at zero that would have reached the target. Channels sometimes write 'closed at breakeven' when a trade really closed at a loss. Decide your rule in advance and test it in your journal.
