Stop loss

Question:

May one place a stop loss on Friday if the is a change it might get triggered on Shabbos? In a trading account.
Is trading forbidden in any way?
May one but shares on the tel Aviv stock exchange in a company that doesn't keep Shabbos. n

 

Answer:

Hello,

If the stop loss is automated, and not done by a person, then it is permitted, as no one is doing melacha here.

Regarding owning stock in an Israeli company while there is some controversy about this, see the following post. https://dinonline.org/2021/10/25/owning-israeli-stocks/
