Thank you very much for posting your views based on experience as to what happens in AIM.
I often see posters citing the reason they use stop losses is that it stops their broker lending out shares for shorting purposes, I use HL and they expressly state within their rules that they will not lend shares out, so for me that is enough.
Also I wonder if OTC has any impact, on the days that they (brokers) see big movement in SP and volumes (accepted small by AIM standard) but big enough to make some difference if consolidated into one buy or sell.
As an example yesterday OTC saw a fall in SP to mirror AIM and volumes were ~5 times higher than 10 day average.
