đŻđ Ever wonder why your stop loss always gets hit just before a reversal? I blew $5,400 on futures learning this painful lesson. It's not a conspiracy, just market mechanics. Market makers need liquidity, and that often comes from clustered retail stop losses.
Think about it: most people place stops just below obvious support levels like $2.00, or right under a clear swing low at $0.992. These predictable spots create massive pools of orders. MMs target these clusters, dipping prices just enough to trigger a cascade of sells, filling their own large orders cheaply, then reversing.
To avoid being their fuel, don't place your stop at $1.99 or $0.990. Give your trade room. If support is $2.00, consider $1.95. If that low is $0.992, try $0.985. Go slightly *beyond* the obvious. Concrete...
