Spiderman  1st- Ira second-QQQ 3rd - SD caught in a short squeeze See rules printed below -when a stop hits you get the next price. 

[blygh]

From last December

This is my understanding of what the rules are -OK???


                  HORSE RACE RULES:
1. Entries must be from the NYSE, NASDAQ or the AMEX - no OTC (Over the counter) stocks are allowed.

2. No leveraged stocks/leveraged ETFs, options

3. Entries entered before the Friday close (@fc) are priced at the Friday close unless the rider specifies the Monday open. An @fc close entry is not changeable.

4. Entries after the Friday close can be changed until 21:00 Sunday night or if Monday is a closed market, 21:00 Monday night

5. Minimum opening price for picks is $8. You may choose a stock below it but the opening price will be adjusted up to $8. Stocks with a price below $8 at the time of posting may not be shorted.

6. Stops, limits and buy stops are allowed. A buy stop will stay open for the week or until it is met. If a stock hits a stop loss the rider gets the price at the first trade at or below the stop loss. If a stock hits it limit the rider gets the price of the first trade at or above the limit.

Blygh

Rule 6 produces adverse results for SD and me-my stop loss would have been executed at 311.87,  the first trade of the day - TSLA traded at 328.44 on the Thurs open 

[sd]

I think Rule 6 is valid- reflects the reality of what would occur in an actual trade -where a stop was activated at the open- but much further away than one's stop- is just the reality.

[blygh]

Glad you are not contending the rule SD  - Sometimes it is hard to figure what the next trade price is if trading is volatile.  I look at the next minutes. It is easy when a stock opens above/below a stop/limit  .  Anyone have suggestions how to simulate this common phenomenon?
