Adapting strategies to suit the market

Yes i am aware of this. The only way i can control it is G/STOPs. Although i encounter several problems with this.

1. It costs alot of money.
2. The minimum g-stop level is often so many points away from where i want it, i end up with nearly half the position size i am after.

I do not have a solution for this problem. The only thing i can think of is changing brokers, but then i couldnt be bothered. I have only ever had a gap below my stop once or twice, and it didnt hurt that much.

But i guess if you were in a situation where you were shorting AXA then a 38% gap would really hurt
