stop-loss的几个用途: 1. Stop-loss order, stock or commodity market order to close a position if/when losses reach a threshold[ˈθreʃhəuld]. A Stop Loss is an instruction for a particular share in your portfolio to be placed for sale on the market when it trades at a pre-determined price. You decide which share you wish to sell, and set an acceptable exit price below the share's current trading price. 2. 关于stop-loss order的一篇文章: I believe in stop loss orders to protect stock positions or to lock in gains. When the stop loss is triggered, your stock is automatically sold at the market at the best available price. In a normal market (if there is such a thing), the stop loss can work as intended. You buy a stock at $50, and enter a stop loss order to sell at $47.50, which limits your loss to 5%. In reality, in a fast market when the stock gaps down (Gap Down: difference between the current session's high and the previous session's low price. Tata Motors has been trading in a range of Rs 335 to 365 levels for the last 10 trading sessions. Last week, it opened with a gap-down below Rs 370 and witnessed a selloff. Now, it is near to the gap-down zone and if manages to cross Rs 370 then the immediate downtrend may end. In that case, it may rally towards Rs 385-388 levels. gap: A gap is defined as an unfilled space or interval. On a technical analysis chart, a gap represents an area where no trading takes place. On the Japanese candlestick chart, a window is interpreted as a gap. In an upward trend, a gap is produced when the highest price of one day is lower than the lowest price of the following day. Thus, in a downward trend, a gap occurs when the lowest price of any one day is higher than the highest price of the next day.) (during flash crashes(A flash crash 股市大跌, 狂跌 is a very rapid, deep, and volatile fall in security prices occurring within an extremely short time period短时间内, 短期内. A flash crash frequently stems from trades executed by black-box trading黑箱操作, 暗盒交易, combined with high-frequency trading, whose speed and interconnectedness nature can result in the loss and recovery of billions of dollars in a matter of minutes and seconds.), breaking news, or fake tweets), your stop loss is triggered. The bad news is that it will be triggered at the next available market price, which could be many points lower. The best available price? Unfortunately, that can be a misnomer. In other words, your stock could be automatically sold at the lowest price, and instead of locking in a 5% loss, you could lose much more. Another problem with a stop loss order is that when you enter it into the computer, the order is transparent. Another problem with a stop loss order is that when you enter it into the computer, the order is transparent. A game that some market-makers played (these days, it will be computer algorithms) is "run the stops," when the stock is forced low enough to trigger a large cluster of stop loss orders (usually at round numbers or well-known support and resistance levels). After the stock is sold at a popular stop loss price, the stock reverses direction and rallies( rally I. To join in an effort for a common cause: "In the terror and confusion of change, society rallied round the kings". II. To show sudden improvement in health or spirits. III. To recover abruptly from a setback or disadvantage: The stock market declined, then rallied. The home team rallied in the ninth inning to win the game.). The biggest problem with stop losses is that you have given up control of your sell order to the computer. During volatile markets, that can cost you money. But there is an alternative. 3. Stop loss policy (insurance), an insurance policy that goes into effect after a set amount is paid in claims. 4. Stop-loss policy, US military requirement for soldiers to remain in service beyond their normal discharge date. In the U.S. military, it is the involuntary extension of a service member's active duty service under the enlistment contract in order to retain them beyond their initial end of term of service (ETS) date and up to their contractually agreed end of obligated service (EOS). It also applies to the cessation of a permanent change of station (PCS) move for a member still in military service.

关于幕后色情交易: The casting couch, casting-couch syndrome or casting-couch mentality is the trading of sexual favors 性贿赂 by an aspirant, apprentice employee or subordinate to a superior in return for entry into an occupation, or for other career advancement within an organization. The term "casting couch" originated in the motion picture industry, with specific reference to couches in offices that could be used for sexual activity between casting directors or film producers and aspiring actresses or actors. It is not to be confused with the adult entertainment industry where such actions may be a prerequisite, although many pornographic films and pornographic websites play on the casting couch theme and allude to similarities one may find in casting couch scenarios in the film industry. The term is now often used to refer to other industries besides entertainment, though careers which are highly desirable and traditionally difficult to break into, such as the movie, television and music industries, have been the subject of casting couch stories in popular culture. Such trading of favors can be an abuse of power and can become a wider sex scandal if deemed newsworthy. Theresa Russell has alleged in multiple interviews that she was propositioned (proposition v. To propose a private bargain to, especially to propose sexual relations with. He had allegedly tried to proposition Miss Hawes. n. I. A plan suggested for acceptance; a proposal. II. A matter to be dealt with; a task. a person or matter to be dealt with: he's a difficult proposition. Finding affordable housing can be a difficult proposition. III. an invitation to engage in sexual intercourse. unwanted sexual propositions. ) by legendary producer Sam Spiegel during her first casting session for The Last Tycoon. In a 2010 interview with Access Hollywood, actress Lisa Rinna said a producer had asked her for "a quickie" when she was a 24-year old candidate for a role on a prominent television series. In 2009, Megan Fox stated that leading film directors made sexual propositions性交易 while casting for film roles. At a 2005 class reunion, producer Chris Hanley told his former classmates that "almost every leading actress in all of [his] 24 films has slept with a director or producer or a leading actor to get the part that launched her career". In a 1995 article, journalist Peter Keough described Hollywood as "a town where everyone is selling body and soul for fame and fortune and all – especially women – are considered commodities商品". In October 2012, filmmaker Ben Fellows published claims that the casting couch was rife in the worlds of British television, theatre and advertising when he worked as a child actor and model in the 1980s. He claimed "the problem is both institutional ( I. of, relating to, or characteristic of institutions. II. 统一的, 整齐划一的. 一致的. dull, routine, and uniform. Characteristic or suggestive of an institution, especially in being uniform, dull, or unimaginative. characterized by the drabness, uniformity, and impersonality attributed to large institutions: institutional food. institutional furniture; a pale institutional green. institutional meals. III. relating to principles or institutes, esp of law. ) and systemic in the entertainment industry." Confirmed: Alexander Skarsgård Tarzan, Margot Robbie Jane!: Beating Emma Stone in the casting couch for the second time, after scoring the leading role in Focus alongside Will Smith. But let's just take a moment to say, gosh this girl seriously gets all the luck! Not only has she made out with Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street, but now Skarsgård! Oh yeah, and did we mention she also stars opposite Chris Pine in sci-fi thriller Z for Zachariah. It's just not fair.
以艺术的名义In the name of art: Art student wants to lose virginity in front of audience – has he gone too far? From body grafitti to chicken slaughter, students have always pushed the limits with performance art. But having sex for the first time in a gallery? Art can't shock us anymore – we are all bohemians ( Bohemian [bəuˈhi:miən] (often not capital) a person, esp an artist or writer, who lives an unconventional life. ) now," says artist Grayson Perry. But student artist at Central Saint Martin's, Clayton Pettet, has attracted much attention with a planned piece of performance art,
during which he will lose his virginity in front of 100 people in a
gallery in Hackney, in front of a live audience. People in the crowd will then be
invited to ask questions. "[I had] the idea when I was 16," says Pettet,
"when all my peers were losing their virginity. It was incredibly hard
for me to ask why I was still a virgin and why it meant so much to
people. My piece isn't a statement as much as it is a question." Pettet
wants people to question the importance of virginity and the traditional values
that we place upon it, including issues that surround gender and
sexuality. "Virginity has almost become heteronormative in its
definition," he says. "Is virginity even real? Or is it just an ignorant word that was used to dictate the value of a woman's worth pre-marriage?" Can art still be shocking, or has it all been done before? Here are some student artists who have caused a stir with their artwork. Abortion: Aliza Shvarts caused outrage when she was a student in Yale back in 2008, when it was reported that for a performance art project she would artificially inseminate 致使怀孕, 致孕. 受孕 herself and then induce miscarriages. "The piece – in its textual and sculptural forms – is meant to call into question质疑 the relationship between form and function as they converge on the body,"
she wrote. Helaine Klasky, then associate dean and vice president for
public affairs at Yale, later disputed that she was actually having
miscarriages, saying: "The project is an art piece艺术作品, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman's body."
Chicken slaughter: This year a student at Alberta College of Art and
Design in Calgary slaughtered a chicken in the university cafeteria as
part of a performance piece for a school project. After the act, the
student dropped the dead chicken into a pot, as if preparing to eat it. Many students were shocked by the performance and the police were called. Voina: The Russian street-art 街头艺术 group Voina are known for their provocative works of performance art行为艺术.
Past performances include Fuck for the Heir
Puppy Bear!, where five couples had sex in public in Moscow, and How to
Snatch a Chicken, in which a Voina member stuffed an entire chicken into
her vagina. Collecting secrets: Elani Sininger, a student at Northern
Kentucky University, decided to create art in collaboration with people on the street. She stripped half-naked in Cincinnati and lay on the floor with a sign that asked people to write their secrets, confessions and general thoughts on her body.
She says of the performance: "I wanted people to come and write down
their secrets or something they wanted to release. Let them write it on
my body and then walk away and release all of their negative energy 负面能量 with me." Secrets revealed ranged from "I like feet" on her foot, to "weirdo" and "666" on her upper right leg. 另一报道: Gay art student sparks outrage with plan to lose his virginity in front of audience of 100 then hold a question and answer session afterwards: He is planning for his first full sexual encounter is set to take place before an audience of between 50 and 100 in a space in Hackney, London. Clayton and his partner will have protected sex
and then ask the audience what they thought of the performance.
Clayton, who has been planning the event for three years, said: 'The key
thing about performance art is that it should only be performed once,
and this is the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime performance. 'I've held on to my virginity for 19 years, and I'm not throwing it away lightly随便抛弃.
'Basically it's like I am losing the stigma around virginity. 'I want
the audience to see if anything has changed between me and my partner.
'Since culturally we do hold quite a lot of value to 附加很多东西 the idea of virginity
I have decided to use mine and the loss of it to create a piece that I
think will stimulate interesting debate and questions regarding the
subject.' Clayton has not told his parents about the project, but has
informed tutors at the prestigious university. But the second-year
student at Central Saint Martins art school in London has been accused of cheapening 贱化, 糟蹋, 糟践 sex and art with the stunt, which will take place on January 25 next year. The Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement reckon the project is not art and cheapens the special relationship of sex between loving partners.
Spokesman Rev Sharon Ferguson said: 'I'm not quite sure how that's art.
'My view is that we believe that all sexuality is a gift from God.
'It's about what you do with it and how we use it is an expression of
our love for God. 'For my imagining in sex as an art form, I don't think this falls into that category. 'Staff are discussing with him the implications后果, both legal and emotional, of the performance and he is exploring the possibility of alternative means of expression.'
Although the plan has stirred controversy引发争议, with some arguing that it
"cheapens" sex, Pettet took to his Tumblr to promote his idea: The Idea
of "Art School Stole My Virginity" came around 产生 when I was Sixteen,
when all my peers at school were losing their Virginity. The whole aspect of Virginity was incredibly
emotional for me and has been ever since. ... I want my piece to inject some speed into the arts,
a performance of the people if you will. I feel like now is the time
for the new scene. Pettet explains that
virginity is an "abstract" notion built up by society. He argues that male virginity is even more abstract because it doesn't involve the breaking of a hymen['haimɛn] 处女膜,
as it would between a male and a female, and is essentially "an
undetectable moment in time." "This idea becomes more complex when one
considers all types of sexual relations," he writes. "Men and men, women
and women? Virginity has almost become heteronormative in its
definition, given that in the most graphic of terms it is the moment when a penis first penetrates the vagina." Central Saint Martins, where Mr Pettet is a second-year student, said his project was not part of his coursework and did not have the art school's endorsement. 其他报道: This
teenager is not the only young person to make headlines recently for doing something unorthodox离经叛道的 with virginity. Last year, a 20-year-old Brazilian woman named Catarina Migliorini auctioned off her virginity for $780,000. She later told The Huffington Post the whole plan was hatched by the filmmaker of a documentary called "Virgins Wanted," and she said she felt victimized. She never actually got the money or had sex.
