Gox's new trading engine and all of the upcoming exchanges (ex, Coinsetter) are completely unnecessary given the total volume on all current exchanges.

What a magnificent engine this is that a trader can't even put a protective stop loss, not to mention a trailing stop!

Gox will still maintain the lead [...]

unless someone who has experience in exchange / brokerage business finally sets up a quality exchange. If this happens Gox and others will die in 6 months.

Don't you think that the only reason for BTC exchanges not to offer this facility is because they're all playing there own markets? I can't understand it otherwise. If your commission rate is based on volume and tied to price, you'd think they'd want you to trade often. I can put a limit order on buys at Bitstamp but because I can't stop loss I don't do it overnight, so they lose those trades. It doesn't make sense to me that they would turn down that margin unless that's not there business model. Profit comes from manipulation - the commission fees are just gravy.

I thought they didnt do it for legal reasons

Market's often very thin... and when it crashes it goes down amazingly fast. What happens if Gox can't meet your stop loss? Better to not offer the feature than to get sued over it.

If you offer a stop loss would you not simply put the coins for sale at the stop loss? How can they end up not being sold then?
