Re: Stops

<<Some people don't like fixed stops because the MM's can trip them
then move the price away. >>

Understood. I would just like to "stalk" a profitable position with a stop not too close but which might leave me some profit in the event of a major reversal of direction.

<<You need an account sonewhere like E*Trade which does allow NASDAQ
stops. >>

Interesting how some rules that are set in stone with one brokerage can be changed elsewhere. For example, I just confirmed that at Discover marginable securities can be held in the margin account at any price above or equal to 4 1/8. Everywhere else it seems the lower limit is 5.
