Well, I saw that spike and I guessed that it took some stops but I guess you would give stops some leeway, 5- 10 points.
I know, you mentioned GS on ES channel but I guessed they did it much higher, 1150 or so. So they are already loosing money you say.
If you want to place large orders on institutional desks, you need a "buffer zone"...This has nothing to do with losing money. Last time GS sold 1000 lots in the large S&P pit we went down 65 ES points ;=) They sold the 1000 one day before the start of the sell off.
