True. That's a short/long squeeze, but beside the point. I question the practice of creating liquidity against yourself. A stop loss order creates liquidity against your position. It may encourage the price to move against you.

Lately I've been hesitant to put stop orders in against my positions, and I'm curious as to what you think of my reasoning. Example: Imagine being long on Nasdaq:MU for 10000 shares, BOT at $18.71. A GTC stop order is entered at $18.50. What I really dislike is that you have created liquidity...

They're already factoring in a 0.9+ probability of a rate increase, so I don't think that it will hit that hard.

Thx Robert. How about under "normal" circumstances; a case where the market is happily bubbling along, and then violently upspikes, gaining 10% or more in a day?

Heya Peeps, Lately I've been noodling on market crashes. Some that immediately come to my mind are: The crash in 2008 The "flash crash" in 2010 The great market crash in 1929 In your knowledge, has there ever been a massive market upspike? I'm at a lack of words to describe this.. imagine...

Too fast. Scaphism for these people: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphism Here in this forum, I'd settle for the Brazen Bull.

iamthebesttraderintheworld.com is up for 5k... Perhaps a good alternative?

Would you settle for C++?

The Dow, S&P, Russel 2K, and Nasdaq have all set record highs under The Don!!! Financials on a tear, energy up 2%... numbers don't lie! Mess with the Bull, you get the horns! https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2016/11/21/us-markets.html

As a day-trader/speculator, how do you peeps answer this question? Telling someone that you're a day-trader or speculator, conjures images of either a "self-employed" person stumbling to their desk at 9:30 in their pajamas, or a fabulously wealthy individual with properties scattered across...

How many rupees does a pint of draft beer cost in a typical bar in Mumbai (or other city)?

So, they can exchange their INR500 and INR1000 for the new INR2000 notes, correct?

I think that a total repeal is probably not realistic, but pieces of it may be pulled back. Seems that Trump is planning to kill it off. Methinks this the cause of the recent financial pop...

I'm trying to get my head around this move. Apparently they banned these bills because peeps were hoarding them and not paying taxes http://money.cnn.com/2016/11/14/news/india/india-rupee-currency-anger/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/37970965 What would I do if I were in their shoes? Imagine...

The problem with swing trading is that if the market moves against you in that loooong time between market close and open the next day (or even longer if you hold over the weekend), grab your ankles! You can try limit orders during after-hours to save some, but with any kind of spike... get in...

omg! Wth is going on in shipping? Are these thousands-of-basis-point swings the norm in this business?

Some might consider this a radical idea, but they could actually invest it back into their business, and hire some new people.

Before you start fiddling with settings, do a cold restart. Specifically, do not hibernate, sleep, suspend, or even reboot. Close everything down, shut down, wait a minute or two, and then start your machine back up.

Damn, Superstar. You know that shipping sector, eh?

A rally is one thing, but a 1500% increase??! http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/379412-darren-mccammon/4933713-floating-dead-shorted-diana-containerships-dcix-today
