I tried to place a stop order today on PLNI but Ameritrade came back with an error. Something about not doing stop orders on OTC stocks. Is that right?

most brokerages dont allow stop/loss orders on stocks under 1.00 a share.. it sux but thats life <shrugs> ... thats another reason micro's a high risk because you cant get stopped out if the trade goes against u...

I wonder WHY this is.

WHY don't they allow STOP orders on cheap stocks.

It doesn't make any sense to me

no stop orders, no margins, no short selling,
no nothing on stocks not listed on big boards.

you even have to have cash to buy them even with
a margin account..

i have a margin account and i wait 5 days for
deposit to clear and 5 days for the money to turn
into non marginable funds....

Machiavelli, you were able to do this recently on Choicetrade? I know I tried to put a stop limit on a penny stock about a month ago, and it wouldn't let me submit the order ... Guess I'll have to try again!
