How to sell... Can anyone clarify this for me (pref. before 9:30! :-) What would happen if I set a stop limit order ABOVE yesterdays close, e.g. at a price of 15 with a stop limit of 14, right now. Say the stock gaps up to 17 (purely example, there is nothing scientific behind this, but one lives in hope) - in the process of gapping up, would that trigger the sell, or will the gap effectively 'jump' the order? - obviously any fall back to 15 will trigger the sell. On a related note, if alternatively I set a market order sell at the open, am I likely to get a poor price anywhere between the close and the open or will I get the actual open price (give or take a few cents) I don't mind the risk of the gap and what might happen afterwards, but I need to protect a degree of profit this AM. I can't be at my screen until late morning =:-O - nightmare! If NAVR goes beyond the stop limit order I can make a call then to sell or not. FWIW, I'm with Datek (have some pit Decisions, decisions.... :-) - HG
