I keep getting the impression that you are referring to a STOP with a limit attached to it. I am not using a LIMIT range on my trades. If I had put in a STOP at $7.10 and a limit of $7.00 then my trade would only occur in that range and no other range. Simply putting in a STOP at a specific price with no LIMIT added will convert your order to a SELL AT MARKET order, which is activated with the sale of a board lot at whatever your STOP PRICE is. If it immediately moves up, you sell for a higher price. If not you either trade at that price or lower. This happened when I was trading PHV. I got filled at a higher price than my STOP, because the stock moved up right afterward. It is not an instantaneous trade, and the delay that is why sometimes you get filled at a higher price. This is my understanding of STOPS without limits. Addendum: Not sure about this. I was also told by Greenline that once your STOP gets hit, a physical order is printed and handed to a trader who must then input the order manually. I told the guy that the TSE is a ticketless exchange but he insisted that this was correct, and perhaps he was referring to a Greenline trader. According to him, it does not go straight into the TSE trading computer. A specific buy, sell or a straight at market order will go in immediately to the CAC (??) computer upon approval by your brokerage. This definitely needs further investigation. Regards, Wisam
