Alright, let’s talk about the “stop loss raid” story that pops up every time a stock or crypto dumps. You’ve probably seen someone say, “The whales raided my stop losses, that’s why it crashed!”

Here’s the deal:

1. Markets aren’t sentient. Big players don’t have a personal vendetta against your positions. They move based on liquidity, trends, and algorithms—not to target random retail traders. They have bigger fish to fry!
2. Stop orders are visible… but not like you think. Yes, market makers can see clusters of stop orders at certain levels. But these aren’t triggers for some evil plan. they’re just liquidity points. Big players often take advantage of natural price flows, not specifically to hunt you. Your stop is getting stopped because everybody else is setting a same damn stop.
3. Most “stop loss raids” are just volatility. Price moves, stops trigger, and it looks sus. But in reality, it’s just the market doing what it does. Rapid moves happen all the time without any mastermind behind them.
4. Your stops aren’t personal. Setting stops at obvious levels (round numbers, previous support/resistance) can make you feel like they get hunted—but it’s really just clustering. The market moves through these levels because that’s where the orders sit, not because someone is targeting you personally.

The takeaway: don’t trade in fear of imaginary raiders. Focus on risk management, position sizing, and strategy. DON’T BECOME LIQUIDITY.

The only “raid” you should worry about is poor planning eating your account.
