Can Opponents "SEE" your stop.. emini NDx100

No, what he is experiencing is called bad trading. The sooner he realizes it and stops (either temporarily or permanently :p ) the better off he will be.
 
Quote from Don Bright:

The answer is no, but most traders rarely use hard stops anyway...preferring to use alerts to check market conditions before closing a trade. Stops are designed more for those who cannot engage themselves in watching their positions intraday.

However, in the case of retail brokers, as mentioned previously.. they may hold the stop order in house (especially on equities), and that can be problematic, IMO.


FWIW,

Thanks Don. I currently trade emini Nasdaq futures.. setting a strict $stop for a % of my position at one level and the rest much further away just in case any number of factors [power outage, phone outage] affects ability to exit in a pinch. The system I trade determines the final position exit.

Many brokers charge outrageous commissions for a phoned in order. I TRY to avoid that as much as possible. :cool:
 
the fact is, the guy started this thread with a simple question

'can other people see his stop, or not'

and as usual, 6 pages of jerkoff comments from 'master debaters', that he had to sift through before he got to an authoratative answer (thanks Don)

just answer the question yourself with common sense. errr...wait let me answer it for you. no of course they can't see your stops. can you envision a way in which your stops would be broadcast out to everyone in the market? and even if they could they wouldn't care because you aren't trading any size.
 
Quote from SH_DW:

Lately when I place trades.. I have noticed a market moving -favorably in my direction BEFORE my stop is placed in the emini Nasdaq. After I place my stop, almost immediately, prices reverse to where I placed the stop. Sometimes they go further.. I feel justified! Other times, more often than not, prices reverse on me AGAIN, after I am out of position, continuing in the direction I was originally. When this happens several consecutive times I step aside.. often missing a BIG move.

Can my opponents "SEE" my stop when trading Globex e minis.. or is this only my imagination?

Thanks.
