Stop Loss Hunting Exposed: Why Market Makers Target Your Stops

Here is how it works:

  1. Retail traders cluster stops at obvious levels (round numbers, previous highs/lows)
  2. Algorithms detect this liquidity
  3. Price spikes to grab those stops
  4. Then reverses back

How to avoid it:

  • Use Volume Profile for real support/resistance
  • Place stops beyond institutional nodes
  • Wider stops with proper position sizing
