It's gonna go up. My concern is figuring out how much further down it might go before hand so I don't get Zhoutonged :-)

1) Use stop orders if you want to protect your position against unexpected movements. 2) Don't lose your sleep over a few bucks. Believe me, it isn't worth it ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

an amount like $5 keeps you awake at night? He probably mean $5 per bit not a total of $5 for his position and when you are holding over 800 bits that can add up to a couple of bucks.

Believe me, it isn't worth it ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm going to get tired of repeating this but, stop/limit orders probably won't protect you against unexpected movements. Stop orders execute at market price, which often jumps way past what you expect, instantly whenever someone makes a huge trade. You won't get the price in the middle - you'll get the price at the rock bottom. And if you have a limit order placed in the middle, it will just be skipped. Example: Price is $6 and you put a limit order to sell at $5.5. But then coins are dumped instantly setting the highest bid price down to $5.0. Your sell at $5.5 never happens because now the buying is all at $5.0 or below. Know your zhoutong price and more importantly don't expect stop/limit orders to protect you.

I don't think you understand limit orders. If you place a limit order to sell at 5.5 and the price is at 6, it will execute immediately as long as there is enough volume over 5.5.

I meant to say stop-limit order, but I forgot that bitcoinica doesn't offer those. Only stop orders, which will you give you the rock bottom price. If that happens to be below your zhoutong price, you will still get zhoutonged and lose everything; regardless of where your stop order was. And if its above your zhoutong price, well you'll only lose almost everything.
