Friday notes: CYBR missed earnings big time and could be in terminal trouble. Could be a good short if shares are available over 8. I wouldn't short at the market price, however. A lot of small investors are going to bail in a hurry. AVNT - beware a rebound based on the oversold stochastics. Happened twice before recently. We should know soon after the open if it's gearing up for another 2 - 4 point burst.

Re: Stops <<Some people don't like fixed stops because the MM's can trip them then move the price away. >> Understood. I would just like to "stalk" a profitable position with a stop not too close but which might leave me some profit in the event of a major reversal of direction. <<You need an account sonewhere like E*Trade which does allow NASDAQ stops. >> Interesting how some rules that are set in stone with one brokerage can be changed elsewhere. For example, I just confirmed that at Discover marginable securities can be held in the margin account at any price above or equal to 4 1/8. Everywhere else it seems the lower limit is 5.
