Re: Entering On Buy-Stops/Sell-Stops

I use buy/sell stop for entries all the time for breakout plays. It's one of the best method in getting into the trend without missing it and not getting into a trade where there is no momentum. Sometimes you sacrifice a few ticks because of the burst of volume but the reward more than make up for it. The buy/sell stop above or below the last bar after a retracement is the sweetest spot to get in.
