Not yours. Theirs.
Stop-loss hunting is real. Market makers know exactly where retail has their stops parked. They sweep liquidity, trigger panic sells, then pump it right back up.

→ Patience + wider invalidation = survival
→ Understanding structure > reacting to wicks
You either learn to trade like them or keep getting farmed.
