A problem with stop loss triggers on low volume shares is that some small "ridicules" trades will activate the trigger although the general trend of the share price does not support "bailing out". For example: on 07 Jun 2012 at 16:18 the price of ARB declined by 25% in 1 minute only to recover by 20% in the next 4 minutes! Can anyone suggest ways that OST can improve the triggers? Maybe by taking volume into account? Or some kind of delayed mechanism?
