Status:
I take your point, as I forgot the Bonds do not take SWL, but it was an
example so we can consider it as COMEX or any exchange that does.
My thinking was closely to what IRA wrote about two minutes ago.
As to your rhetorical question when you wrote:
If the Bonds open at 97-07, and you tell me to sell at 96-25 stop limit, I
would wait for Bonds to trade at or through 96-25, and then I would place an
order to sell at 96-25 limit. If you happen to get filled better, let's say
96-26, when you should have been filled at 96-25, would you complain?
I do not really want to be filled at 96.26 instead of 96.25. I prefer 96.24
(but no further). Being filled at 96.26 in this kind of situation only
increases the chance of whipsaws. The whole point of my using SWL is see
prices TRADE THROUGH.
Best,
Gram.
