Gary, how do you decide where to put the buy stop? Someone before mentioned they like to give a $2 buffer to capitalize on momentum while preventing retrace. I put my first buy stop at 71 1/2, just above the opening gap down figuring there is some resistance there (is that true technically?). Do you keep moving your stop buy as the stock drops to lock in profit yet leave a $2 buffer? And if lots of people do that, could the big boys just start playing with the stock to set off those stop orders?
