I think so, but it does adjust. There are good reasons to expect these markets to trade near max pain within current low volatility. The boys will run stops with gaps, which is what their high freq trading programs are desighned to do. Keep your stops in these markets mental, and I can't emphasize that stronger now. The robots probe for limit and stop orders, then take you out, so your bullish stops will be the lows, and bearish stops will be the highs. Gaps are designed to take you out at the open.
