    as expected... after stopped out the market grinded higher all day... this could be a pretty signifcant low... we needed to get down to 1430 for increased odds of more downside which they could not do. Next stop 1484, then most likely 1500-1503.

    GTC stops on futures?

    Anyone know of any type of stop order that does not need to be replaced after the CME goes down after the close. Or possibly a service that does it for you? Its getting annoying having to replace the canceled orders all the time.
