Protections will protect your strategy from unexpected events and market conditions.
### Available Protection Handlers
* [`StoplossGuard`](#stoploss-guard) (default, if not configured differently)
#### Stoploss Guard
`StoplossGuard` selects all trades within a `lookback_period` (in minutes), and determines if the amount of trades that resulted in stoploss are above `trade_limit` - in which case it will stop trading until this condition is no longer true.
```json
"protections": [{
"method": "StoplossGuard",
"lookback_period": 60,
"trade_limit": 4
}],
```
!!! Note
`StoplossGuard` considers all trades with the results `"stop_loss"` and `"trailing_stop_loss"` if the result was negative.
