oh well, back to the chalkboard.
 
Quote from bighog:

tycoon man, that is the wrong question to ask. The real question to ask is why would you go freaking long when price is dropping like a turd?

Ok, with that, i am outta here........... BYE see ya in 3 months probably :cool:

Depends the timeframe you trading, question is subjective.

Quote from tycoonman:

wow...ok exiting the market for the day...hit 3 stops in a row.

anyone have any logical explanation for such a huge dump?

...spike it short before they spike it long... just usual stop running/trapping.

I didn't figure they'd drop it so low... but then again if the spikes are not impressive enough they don't do their job.

Personally - the only way I would have caught that is with a runner from an earlier short. I was flat at the time and waiting for market to signal long .... took it at 20.25 but I'm flat now.
 
I know I'm mentioning this after the fact, so I understand you will take it for what it's worth, but I had a sell stop at 28's, and an add at 26.75's. No bearish TL breaks all the way down.

did not expect such a dump. my calculation had a 73.4% confidence level that it would not hit 21.00 WRONG!
