newbie question - brokers taking out stops

i always read that brokers take out stops - do they also take out take profit levels too? should you hide your targets with virtual take profits as well?

I honestly think it's a hard question to answer, maybe some do, don't forget that the spread can take you out even if price is not hit, bigger spreads during news.

Personally I have never been a believer in brokers taking out stops or TP levels. Decent brokers that is. It has never happened to me in any case...

Brokers don't need to do anything because they know sooner or later you going to lose ... and i think if there is good trader then even if they manipulate will not be easy to do that with professional trader so probably they will block him or ask him to leave ...
so try to be winner first then worry about brokers :")
