No

Only sell ORDERS.

I heard that brokers can see where stop losses are placed, and use this to their advantage, and this is part of the reason why sometimes you get long tails.

And this is also why i keep my stops EOD.

But maybe thats just one of those conspiracy theories.

EOD Stops would still get taken out by intraday spikes.

Yeh but not by intraday tails ;)
I only look at the closing price.
