Thanks to all the replies, it's getting a bit clearer
From the respones I was wondering:
1. Is it correct to assume that stop hunting (not by retail brokers) are done mainly or exclusively outside of the London and U.S. trading sessions as these may tend to be more illiquidity, and thus better odds of succeeding? Or is this practice seen anytime?
2. Is there a way to see them on the charts - historically? For example do they look more like spikes that blip on a 1 or 5 minute chart?
3. How does one get into the mindset of those doing the hunting? This seems like it could be a difficult proposition as those capable of doing it may all be motivated by differing reasons - and therefore differing executions. But any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks again.
Joe
