Quote from tortoise:

i think this proves the rumors of a PPT to be, conclusively, bogus

On the contrary, the evidence shows that when the Dow reached -1000 they stepped in.

The vicious plunge yesterday started at approximately 2:30 EST. Think there might be another repeat?

Exactly. Now bring out the firing squad!

Quote from NoDoji:

Seems like the days of the 4-6 tick stops I was used to are gone. I'm only trading 2 lots today. My last trade was a scalp in that narrow range and I still pulled off 6 pts! I remember when a 6 pt move took forever and might well have been close to the day's range :eek:

Back in 2008, 10-point stops (eg. 40 ticks) were the norm. Worse, it would reverse on you as soon as you're stopped out and come right back down to your entry price within 5 minutes.

You're not the only one!

Been sitting on my hands all day, going "OH I SO WANTED TO GET IN THERE!" With orders setup to confirm it, not having the balls (or is it stupidity?) to transmit the order.
