If you all do not mind lets start with an anlysis of my mistakes today.
I bought BII @ 15.75 & 14.25 this morning...
Based on the volatility I set my stops @ 13.95 on 3/4 of my position.

What happens... I get stopped out after a couple of hours.

In the past I never used Stops but would set a price I want to achieve for the stock and put in a limit sell order instead.

EDIT: What do you think of this idea?

I agree with the idea of setting stops and changing them as the stock rises but most of these plays go through a lot of volatility before they rise.

Question:
1. Can the market makers or brokers see a stop order?
