Placing stop loss and take profit orders on the trading platform helps determine the right time to exit a trade under different market conditions.

When a trade is in profit, a take profit (TP) order is used to exit the market at a favorablelevel. Conversely, when the market moves against the trade, a stop loss (SL) order is triggered to prevent further losses.

There are various methods for calculatingSL and TP levels depending on the trading strategy.

Las anteriores imágenes muestran la detención de Nicolás Maduro.

En los grupos creados en la actividad “Think, Pair, Share” tenéis 1 minuto para decidir si estas imágenes son reales o no.

Estas imágenes son FALSAS, como ya han dicho medios como el New York Times, o RTVE.

En esta actividad vamos a aprender cómo distinguir si una noticia ha sido generada por la IA, o no.

Para ello debemos fijarnos en tres cosas

1. La fuente: ¿Quién publica esta noticia? Es una fuente fiable?
2. El contenido: ¿La noticia busca provocar una reacción emocional fuerte?
3. Los detalles: ¿Hay algo que resulte extraño o incoherente?

Paso 1.

Añadid las imágenes proporcionadas en Google Lens.

Cuando las busquéis, os aparecerán las fuentes que han subido esta noticia/imágenes. Rellenad la siguiente checklist:

• ¿La cuenta o web es oficial, verificada o conocida?
• ¿Aparece la noticia en varios medios fiables, o solo en una cuenta de redes sociales?
• ¿Se citan periodistas, instituciones o expertos reales?

Paso 2. 

• Fijaos en el contenido. Completad la siguiente checklist:

• Se usan palabras exageradas.
• Titulares muy llamativos que no se desarrollan bien en el texto.
• Falta de datos concretos (fechas, lugares, cifras comprobables).

Paso 3.

Ahora fijaos en las fotos.

¿Hay algo en la imagen, el vídeo o el audio que resulte extraño o incoherente?

• Rasgos físicos raros (manos deformes, caras poco naturales).
• Objetos que no encajan con la realidad (uniformes incorrectos, textos borrosos).
• Vídeos o audios sin contexto claro o sin fuente original.

Paso 4.

Ahora volved a las preguntas de reflexión. ¿Ha cambiado vuestra opinión en algo?

La profesora hará sonar una canción y debéis moveros por la clase comentando vuestra opinión sobre este tema hasta que la canción acabe.
