Stop-loss trickery (?) Would love some advice from you guys ... while the market is closed and things are quiet. My sad tale: I was holding 1,000 MALL shares on Tuesday. When the price was currently about $33, I raised my stop-loss to $29. My stop was executed very soon thereafter ... and the momentary dip to $29 happened so fast that the actual selling price on the execution was 31-1/8, 2-1/8 higher than the stop. After that, MALL just resumed going on up. Whenever I have been stopped out before, the execution has been just about instantaneous when the price touches the stop price, so that the shares are sold at that price or a tad less. So here's what I think: That the momentary drop to $29 on Tuesday was an MM ploy to take out all the $29 stops so fast and momentarily that no one would have been able to buy at that price -- in other words, a ploy to pick up scarce shares. By now this has cost me about $30,000 in lost MALL profits. Is my suspicion plausible? And can you do anything about this sort of thing? Any advice from you experienced traders would be much appreciated.
