i knew you were gonna say that- you can only do one way -
not stop loss @5 or sell @6
so if your stock goes to $6 1/4 intraday then back to say $5 your stop is triggered and what would have been a gain will now be a loss.
the exception is if you have the buying power for both trades-

then if the stock flies to seven you have sold again{this time short} at $6 taking a loss both ways.plus wasting your buying pwr
