    Yes, the initial stop should be 4.53% above your entry price.

    kindred spirit

    Slope of Hope by Tim Knight shows some very interesting analysis that accords strongly with Billy and the robot. It also shows an interesting take on AAPL and its relation to market take downs.

    Also, I find it entertaining as well as educational.

    I found the first link via "the wire" service of Charles Kirk.

    Cheers!

    (ps. if it preferable that this go in the "interesting links" thread, I'll move it. I put it here because we sold into some serious strength this morning, which naturally raises doubts).

    Stop looked as if an HFT targeted it.

    Billy -- any chance we're becoming a target of an HFT? Don't want to sound paranoid here...

    Price topped just above daily R3 (69.34), a perfect excessive bull trap before reversing. I think that's what HFT algos were targeting and they've never heard or care about the robot (yet)!

    Annoying as heck

    Was sorry to see the IWM stop just before the drop.

    These HFTs are getting better all the time.

    I dont think the robot got stopped out. The stop should have been adjusted to take into account the gap up if I remember correctly.
