Buy Stop is dangerous.
Look at VVUS. The share traded around $69 when it broke resistence at
$70 at 3pm the price rose to $78 in 1 hour to the closing.
I believe this was a major short squeeze
and many shorts with a Buy Stop at $70 or $70 1/2 got executed.

2 Weeks later the shares have dropped back to $60.
