that would just eliminate all HFT tradingand automated trading systems for intraday. markets will be even more illiquid for stocks. spreads would widen even more...as for retail investors that are are not levered...they don't have stop losses. for levered investors or anyone with margin you need stop losses or you get margin call.
is the SEC going to ban market orders too?
as for swing traders ,,they just sell at market.

Quote from MKTrader:
Whether it happens or not, the fact that it's being mentioned is ridiculous.
Taxes, forex, stocks....This administration is easily the most trader-unfriendly in decades...if not ever. Those on this site who support it are clearly not serious traders.
They should abolish all frequent-trading related stuff.Quote from stevegee58:
WTF???

All those that have stop loss orders end up losing.
Sure they may have "limited" their losses in this trade, but they will lose it all in the next trades.
That's for sure.
Stop losses are only recommended by brokers so you generate more commissions.
Hrmmm...maybe the should abolish limit orders as well?? To get into a position or sell a position (in the money).
How about there is only one order...BUY. That's was the gubernment wants.
I use stops all the time in my swing trading...they are necessary part of my trading/business. I risk x% per trade...I want out if that happens. Now they say I need to stay by the computer 24hours a day and wait for my price to hit then send in a f*cking market order?!?
INSANE!
