    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.

    no stop on the IWM trades taken today, right?

    I was also happy to get an an even lower price than recommended, which seemed to make a potential stop out less onerous.

    Cheers!

    question

    Billy--

    Do you (or anyone, thanks!) know why IWM rose into the close after the sell off today? Is such a move significant?
