As per thread title, i am curious to find no mention of these. They did not exist (to my knowledge) until the march (2011) contract started trading. Now most days have many, and there are more on slow days. They always seem to stop at s/r or fib levels and often precede a direction change. sometimes there are 2 or 3 one after the other to the exact same place, which raises the question is it possible to get filled during one of these spikes at its extreme? I have not tested this yet. I am concerned at the possibility of stop "sweeps" though it has not affected me thus far.
What are they and why have they started appearing and can they be used?
Thanks for any info
examples including todays included
