I'm still learning about this, so forgive me if I have it wrong. From what I've read, a stop can fill at a worse price than you set when spreads widen, which is what the post means by slippage. Could someone explain what people usually mean by "moving" a stop versus "removing" one, and which of those is generally seen as the riskier choice?
