It gaps plenty over night, and sometimes it can move fast during the day, It may could jump a stop limit order but a regular stop will just become a market and go off any way even if it's beyond your stop. When I'm in a day trading mood I have my finger on the trigger for a market order & so I don't use stop loss orders. I don't day trade except when the mood hits as it's to intensive and I don't get anything else done on daytrading days .<G> I watch that MoMo index ( vol x price I posted ) it moves ahead of the market cap one. ( most of the time ) it's all momentum & nothing else; it's like seeing a crowd coming to feed before they get there and I have to keep an eye on the volume as well as the direction. I now have it set up streaming in real time. Jim
