I want to use a Bitcoin / altcoin exchange which allow to set stop loss orders.

Is there an exchanges that allow this?

you should do it with a bot.
there are a couple of them that has some options for this, i don't remember which one -cause it has been a while since i used the sites directly- but those options are never good enough.
with a bot you can set things the way you prefer.

no,i dont think there was exchange who put stop loss in their trade method,because it will make them only get small profit ;D stop loss only put on application,like meta trader or other trading bot.

Why do stop loss orders reduce a exchanges profits?
A exchange profits from the trading volume, not people holding their bitcoins and using them as a wallet. If you give your customers more features, which increases the volume the exchange profits from it. Almost all exchanges don't care about the price of either bitcoin or any altcoin, because people would still trade with the same amount in fiat.

On-topic:
Poloniex offers stop limit (https://poloniex.com/support/stopLimitOrders/) orders, I'm not the best trader, so I don't know if stop limit would work. Bitstamp (https://www.bitstamp.net/article/stop-orders-and-trailing-stop-orders/) also provides a solution similar to stop loss.
This topic (http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/7342/which-exchanges-offer-stop-loss-functionality) is also from another person asking the same question. There is a few good replies you might like.

I think I see this offer with one of the bot from service section or trading section, it is hard to understand if that bot is worthy but I guess you still need to know it work, I'll be keep checking this thread because i also wanted to learn this trading industry. good luck to us op.

I trade with kraken a lot and they offer very advanced orders, stop loss etc.
They don't have a lot of altcoins but when it comes to bitcoin you can feel safe with them since they have been long in the game.

I guess no one said about poloniex they have the stop loss feature,the best thing here should you only trade when you are online.

stop loss is avaliable onpoloniex and kraken,in poloniex is good,but you must keep watch the price,keep control your order,and get profit as you want.
i see on polonex,so many people trade Etherum,and now you must be check for that.

i have used the Poloniex option for stop loss and it was good. it is in the same page as you make the trade and you can just set the conditions to your liking to avoid missing out.

I second this that Kraken has a lot of advanced options.  There are quite of few alts on there as well. I have had no issues to date.

BitMarket.net allows stop-orders.

You can trade BTC/EUR and BTC/PLN on our exchange.

Thanks for promoting your own exchange that just probably started.

But who in the right mind would consider your site if youre fairly new, no offense.

Well eth is having the whales interest,and looks like someone  are trying to make eth bigger that it is really,soo last week eth 200k now it 3000k soo something should happen above or down its a risky trade that may bring a huge profit.

For those who want to know, here's how the Poloniex stop limits work:

Most trades on the exchange are Limit Orders - i.e. they only execute on the exact price you set. With a stop limit order, you input two prices - a trigger price (say your coin has fallen below this price, which is the trigger), and then once triggered, it executes your second price, which is the limit price.

So say you are trading doge, and you put in a stop limit of 55,54. The trigger is going through 55, at which point it place a limit sell order of 54 and execute it when that order is matched.

Today Coinbase introduced stop loss orders  :). You can read the full introducing here: https://blog.coinbase.com/2016/03/17/stop-orders/.
