A stop loss is not a guarantee of a price, it is an instruction to become a market order at a price. On a gap or a news spike those are very different things, and the difference lands in your account.
These lessons cover each order type, what it promises, what it does not, and the execution conditions where the distinction becomes expensive.

Orders and execution: questions
How many orders & execution lessons are there?
16, and they are all in the MarketPro app. This page lists every one of them. Each lesson takes about 1 minutes to read.
Do I have to pay to read them?
No. The academy is free on every MarketPro account, including free ones, with no lesson cap and no paywall inside the app. On this website the first part of each lesson is open and the rest is in the app, which is where the quizzes and the progress tracking are.
Do I need a broker account to start?
No. The academy, the calculators on this site and the free weekly signals all work without one. A broker account is only needed when you decide to place a real trade, and that decision is yours alone.
