    At times of extreme volatility, how often is it for a stock price to zoom up or down thereby missing your intended price point? Is the likelihood of this happening more if one trades in higher volumes (e.g. 5,000 shares instead of 50 shares)?

    Hmnn, by having less shares of XYZ, in traders position, the stock would be less volatile , ,, towards him " ? ( a single perticipant in markets ), how could that be, that's not logical, or i got it wrong ?

    I think the ammount of your position has not that much to do with overall stock volatility, ( unless it's a huge position, ( 100k - 500k ) & only then, when you do a certain action, if one buys / sells, volatility is created ? ( Just my guess,)
