Who Can See My Stop Market Orders?

When I submit a stop market order, is it sent to the market or is it held by my broker waiting to be sent? The reason i ask is because I'm curious who sees the order. Is it just my broker or do other market participants able to see it as well?

 

I hear of stop hunting, but is this done by participants who assume orders are at a certain level or is it done by people who can SEE orders at a certain level?

I do not (i am fairly certain) think anyone can see your order except the system (software). The systems are based on events so when an event triggers it will get your stop. The stops are most likely put in a database at your on-line broker's system. They are not sent to the brokerage firms until the stops are hit.

 

There are probably millions of stop order and no one has time to keep looking at where the majority stops are etc. You can actually guess where most people put their stops...right below the previous support or resistance. and we are all taught the same thing. how hard can it be to guess?

 

Now also think about the people who can move a market; they are pros who deal in 100s of contracts and large volumes on their clients behalf. They don t not sit there and spend time in analyzing stops etc. that would be more waste of resource.

 

do not buy in to that stuff.

      How did you suspect you have cancer?

      By analyst75 · Posted

      Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
