Stop Loss Orders and Market Volatility

Volatility trading http://www.financial-spread-betting.com/strategies/volatility-trading.html With the recent upsurge in market volatility, can stop loss orders be a problem in these conditions? Chris Purdy, Sales Trader at Spreadex responds. Volatility is what most spread bettors thrive on so it presents a great opportunity but setting tight stops in such conditions can be detrimental to your spread trading. You can be closed out before you have time to see your trade go to maturity. So its a good idea to consider what's going on in the markets.
