that was MM's trying to flush out stop loss holders and invite weak retail to bail out. they use "air shares" and they certainly won't let you fill up on them with a buy order.
what most do not realize is the OTC order book shows retail stop holders and their sell trigger limit. it is free easy daily commission money for them. they make money on both sides- your forced stop sells and the resulting new retail buys.
no one should ever use automated stops in otc.
My opinions are my own and are not a suggestion to buy or sell stocks. Always do your own homework.
