Re: Serious Word of Caution about Stop Loss Orders     24-Oct-09 09:56 pm    
I do not use STOP LOSS on Nasdaq; unlike NYSE/AMEX where an actual trade is required to trigger a SL, the Nasdaq requires only a bid.
I learned this the hard way being sold out of a position with a SL 15% below the trades for the day. My SL became a mkt order and I had to buy back the next day for $2 more /share and ended up with a large unintended short term tax bill
