It is very hard to tell you where to place your stops since none of us know what your trading style is or your profit target ? I would hope that you have a stop that is half of your trading profit target. As far as crude spiking and falling instantly ten or 20 ticks.. watch the volume.. Volume...

Find what works for you and use it. Trying to decipher or reverse engineer someone else's trading is not going to make you successful. I read the book you are talking about at barnes and noble in about 10 minutes while I was waiting for my girlfriend to show up for a movie. I skimmed it, and...

The only advice I have to offer is that you should be especially careful around Low volume.. that is usually when large orders can come in and really move the market.

Xbot your post was exactly correct. The oil futures open outcry pit is dead alog with most open outcry futures pits except the optiosn on futures which will also die out over the next two years. The playing field as far as getting orders filled is as level as it ever has been..(YaaaYYYY!)...
