stop loss

  • Question:-Stop loss?
    My husband is supposed to ETS November 11th this year. We both decided about a year ago that we just want a simple civilian life to raise a family in. No deployments, feild excersizes, or other stressful interruptions. I personally just can't handle it when he's gone anymore. We're expecting our first child in september. Now he's been told that there will be a deployment next february and that stop loss will catch him november 2nd. 9 days before he gets out. He had been told that as long as he was on terminal leave before then, stop loss wouldn't effect him. Now they are saying that it will. Does anybody know about this? I would like to know what I need to plan for, moving away into civilian life, or preparing for a deployment and making preparations to raise my new baby alone. Please don't give me any crap about how I should have expected the deployments and that I don't support our military. My hubby served his time, now we just want a peaceful, deployment free existance.
    I believe it was his commander that told him he should be home free with terminal leave, but don't quote me. I think it was his sgt that told him that it won't matter and he'll go anyway. My hubby is planning to go ahead and get his terminal leave since the deployment is subject to change. If it gets pushed back I know that he'll get out, but there's no way of knowing if it will until it happens. I just wish they would give us one answer instead of jerking us around.

    Answer:-Don't speak to the CO - speak to the First Sergeant. One of the things that commonly happens is that transfer orders are cut to shuffle people around before stop loss/stop movement takes effect. This way those people in other units who want to volunteer get to go and the short timers can ETS.
  • Question:-Stop Loss?
    Is there a stop loss in the army right now?

    Answer:-it's been on and off for all services since 9/11.
  • Question:-stop-loss??
    what does stop-loss in terms of the military mean?

    Answer:-It means they are calling you back up for another tour of duty just when you think you are getting out (i.e. usually because of some fine print in your contract).

    It's called a stop-loss because they can't recruit enough new people to replace you on the battlefield. So they put you back in.
  • Question:-stop loss?
    Who has seen stop loss? Is it worth spendin cash to go and see it?

    Answer:-I just saw the movie yesterday. I would definately spend the cash to see it. its very provoking, especially to those who have someone overseas in Iraq now. There is a huge bonus of Channing Tatum and Ryan Phillippe being in it. It does give an exaggeration of PTSD and portrays inaccurate information but all in all, it was a very good movie and i would definately go see it again.
  • Question:-How to Calculate Stop Loss , Resistance price and Target Level of any Indian stock ?
    How to Calculate Stop Loss , Resistance price and Target Level of any stock ?
    On TV if you see many analyst suggest Stop Loss and Resistance price and I would like to know how to calculate the stop loss and Target price of any stock. I have seen in TV, analyst are telling buy XYZ stock on X rate, Stop loss is Y, n Target is Z.
    Is there any calculation behind these?

    Answer:-The resistance price is the highest price the stock has traded. Usually looking at a one year chart will give you a good idea of any resistance points. Traders are likely to get out of an upward moving stock when it reaches a previous high as many investors that bought the stock at that price may want to get out at even. That selling often sends a stock back down after it hits that resistance.

    Resistance points are a good way to figure out how much you can expect to gain if you know how to choose a stock that’s starting to turn upward. I would only chose a stock that could possibly move 15% or more and there are good candidates out there.

    The target can be the resistance point or based on a fibonnaci numbers.

    Another way to calculate the stop loss is using the average true range (ATR) indicator as a way to gauge the price volatility of each stock individually. Stocks move in different daily price ranges and ATR is the measurement of how much a stock price fluctuates per day averaged over a number of days. Your stop loss could be set at least 1.5 to 2.0 times the ATR.

    I typically use the ATR when I first get into a stock to manage my risk.

    Best of luck!
  • Question:-How to put a stop loss while trading through internet?
    How does such a stop loss work? Will the shares be sold automatically from my account once it reaches that price?

    Answer:-Doc had it right.

    The problem however is that it automatically sells it. Though this may sound counter intuitive, anyone who uses stop losses, or has been trading in the market, has seen stocks gap down (usually on news) and then reboundback up do to an over reaction.

    This makes stock loss orders tricky to use, especially in a volatile market; as price swings can be extreme day to day or week to week. Im sure you have been noticing the market make several 100+ point swings to the up and down side.

    I think there are far better strategies than using stop losses. If you learn how to use Options, there are several methods.

  • Question:-How to determine the stop loss level for leaving casino?
    Your initial account is $1000, if your account reach $6000 at 3 pm, of course, you want to keep play until turning into losing position, does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine your stop loss level making you leave casino? If you leave casino with $2500, you still make $1500 net profit for today.
    But it will not be good to leave casino with $50 for taxi, you turn your profit into losing position $950 for today.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    Answer:-If I started with $1000, I probably would have walked away long before I got up to $6000. I probably would have walked away at $2000 (doubled my money). Then maybe started again with $1000 and see how it goes. Even if I lost the 2nd time down to $0, I would still have my original money, so that is a win in my book!!!!
  • Question:-Will a Stop Loss Order protect my investment in the event of a sudden stock drop due to a terrorist attack?
    Let's say the market is doing well and is very bullish. My investments are all protected with a Stop Loss Order. If a terrorist attack occurs similar to 9/11 that results in the market closing for many days, will a Stop Loss Order of -5% protect my investment if it loses huge during the next opening day?

    Answer:-Stop Loss won't protect you on "gap-down" market opens if your stop loss is within the gap, it will simply become a market order when it drops below the stop loss price.
  • Question:-What did stop loss pay look like as a direct deposit?
    I have a direct deposit with a strange description. I did recently file for the stop loss backpay and wondered if this may be it. The direct deposit was from 3801000000000000/FEDPAYMNT/NTE*PMT*LOCAL.

    Answer:-That was probably it, unless it was for an amount that was vastly different from what you were expecting. In that case, you should be able to contact your bank and find out. They should also send you a letter explaining the payment and what is for. They have to do this as part of the accounting for tax purposes. You may also find the information in your online MYPAY account if you have one.
  • Question:-How long can the National Guard keep a soldier on stop loss after returning home from a deployment.?
    I am currently about 10 months over my original ETS date, and have been home from deployment about 5 months. My unit has forced me to attend drill until this month. Beginning this month they are coding me excused absence from drill. I was wondering if they are allowed to keep me in this long against my will, or if they are violating the army stop loss policy.

    Answer:-
