    No your stop is not visible by any but yes it can be predicted with the flow of the market.

  2. i know it doesnt realy anser your question but
    dax is master of fishing stops below bottems/sup and above tops/res
    before it will decide which direction it want to go -
    sometimes many times
    get used to that;
    i never trade trade it without a sl.
    it can rocket 40p in a heartbeat on news events like last friday. that would be a 1000 eur loss with only 1 contract
    think about it
    sometimes while trading dax it makes more sence to
    use a timed stoploss and give your trade a chance as long
    as your setup is still valid or there is no reason not to have trust anymore in your current position

  3. Pros:
    manual stop: you wll not be stopped out.
    automatic stop: you will be stopped out.

    Cons:
    manual stop: you will not be stopped out.
    Automatic stop: you will be stopped out.
