DislikedTraders from large banks can see the client's orders and their SL levels so they move the market to close them. See for example short spikes after NY session close. The same is at the first hour of Frankfurt session, and during the first half an hour of London and NY session.
Sometimes at periods of temporary low volatility they do the same during the day.

DislikedI don't know how true this is for retail traders as it takes a lot of money to move the market. They wouldn't do it for just a few lots. Maybe they hunt the stops of institutional players or big boys but then again they should know better not to use SLs but mental stops.
Any thoughts on this?
