you're implying that because of the placement of my stop I somehow "deserved" to lose 40 points

Rok,

Unfortunately, you got exactly what you deserved. Are you implying that somebody is REQUIRED to sell to you because you are in a losing position? Anything can happen in the markets, haven't you figured that by now? You've been complaining about your trade executions on SI for years...it is getting old.

The solution is my solution, and it works for me. I did not say you deserved the ramping. It is my observation that certain pivot points attract clustering of stops, and when there is low volume, spikes happen. If one places stops at those points, the law of averages will eventually work against the trader.
