Anyone else feel like market makers are out to get you? I swear, sometimes it feels like they know exactly where my stops are. How do you deal with the frustration of getting stopped out just to see the trade go in your favor afterward? Do you think it’s just bad luck, or is there more to it?

Stops are visible to dealers and hedge funds that pay for flow data. Many traders will cluster their stops based on round prices or share patterns, so they get picked off easily in clumps.

Never set your stops at obvious levels - go bond them by an odd amount to protect yourself. Or… trade with mental stops and execute manually when needed.

1) no stops on contracts I buy
2) how far out is the expiration?
3) what brokerage are you using?

thank you come again

No half measures. If you believe in a trade, never put in a stop.

I'm from Baltimore, and lately, we have had a crazy buying spree, I mean I have sold the same property 2 times in less than 2 weeks, and the person who bought it immediately put it on the market and made an average of $25k in less than 5 days. Many reports show that investing in Baltimore and Philadelphia is the future, I don't doubt it. What is the fastest you have ever resold a property?
