An ETF is an individual stock. Stop Loss orders are a good way to take a loss on a spike down and then miss the rebound. Better thing to do is to put together a well balanced portfolio and ride out the daily ups and down with an eye to long term performance. Unless you are a trader, you should just set your portfolio up and forget about it on a daily basis. If you are a trader, skip the stop loss and spend every day watching the market ticks.
