DislikedI always find what you, traderathome, psiholog, and others keep talking about re: stop-hunting, price manipulation, etc. I don't doubt that these actions are a big part of market movements. But not the whole story.

DislikedRetail traders do make money riding the backs of hedgefunds when they go on a stop hunt. Agian, I refer you to Darkstar's stop hunting thread, if it is still availble. The first thing you have to know is where the stops are. Thomson financial is a news service that gives some information on stop locations. Stop hunting is a very indepth topic that cannot be fully discussed in the confines of this thread.Ignored
