🎯🚫 Ever wondered why your stop loss gets hit *just* before the market reverses? It’s not a conspiracy, it’s how market structure provides liquidity. We retail traders often make it easy for market makers by placing our stops at obvious psychological levels—think just below round numbers like BTC at $60,000 (stop at $59,950) or right beneath a clear support line (e.g., $2.50, stop at $2.49). These clusters of stop losses are prime liquidity pools. Market makers need to fill large orders, and they'll push prices to trigger those stops, sweeping the liquidity before often reversing course. Instead of $59,950, try $59,880. Instead of $2.49, aim for $2.45, giving your trade some breathing room. Your stop needs to be slightly *beyond* the obvious.
