FWIW in regards to placing stops your are Not always limited to
your stock being sold at your set price. For example if your stock
is trading at $15.00 and you set a 'market sell stop' at $11.00 and
the stock gaps down to $9.00 that's what it will get sold at or
lower. If you were to set a 'limit sell stop' on that order at
$11.00 and it gapped down to $9.00 then it wouldn't get sold and
you risk more loss as the price goes down. Either way you are
really only protected if it's more of a trickle down
effect.

So do you think because there are so many shorts that they are
just going to get caught as it seems the market just slowly grinds
higher? It seems a lot of traders are waiting/hoping for the market
to tank.
