    Setting sells to maintain gains

    I think it's called a stop-loss, but say I buy 100 shares @ $10. Today it's at $15, but I want to sell it if it drops to $12.5 to maintain a 25% gain.

    So would I just enter a Sell order for $12.50 as the limit price, and set the stop limit also to $12.50... and set the order good until "forever"?

    So I'd essentially have a pending sell order for each of my holdings?
