Where are the stops? Monday, Apr. 17, gold and silver
Below are today's likely price locations of buy and sell stop orders for the active Comex gold and silver futures markets. The asterisks denote the most critical stop order placement level of the day .
See below a detailed explanation of stop orders and why knowing, beforehand, where they are likely located can be beneficial to a trader.Stop orders in trading markets can be used for three purposes: One: To minimize a loss on a long or short position . Two: To protect a profit on an existing long or short position . Three: To initiate a new long or short position. A buy stop order is placed above the market and a sell stop order is placed below the market.
Most stop orders are located and placed based upon key technical support or resistance levels on the daily chart, which if breached, would significantly change the near-term technical posture of that market. Having a good idea, beforehand, where the buy and sell stops are located can give an active trader a better idea regarding at what price level buying or selling pressure will become intensified in that market.
The major advantage of using protective stops is that, before a trade is initiated, you have a pretty good idea of where you will be getting out of the trade if it's a loser. If the trade becomes a winner and profits begin to accrue, you may want to employ"trailing stops," whereby protective stops are adjusted to help lock in a profit should the market turn against your position.
