Many people have this feeling, but you need to understand—this is not an illusion, nor is it the dealer specifically "watching" your stop-loss.

In simple terms, the real situation is: retail traders' stop-loss levels are highly similar, and large funds are just harvesting liquidity there. You get swept not because your trading is weak, but because you are standing in the most vulnerable positions to be swept.

From a capital structure perspective, what are retail stop-loss orders essentially? They are passive market orders. And passive market orders equal liquidity. What large funds lack most is liquidity—they want to buy when they want to buy, sell when they want to sell, which is unrealistic. They need a large number of counterpart orders, and these transactions must be concentrated, certain, and predictable. Retail traders' stop-loss orders fully meet these three conditions.

Looking further into why retail stop-losses are so consistent: everyone is using previous lows/highs or targeting round numbers (like 90,000, 3,000, 1.0), as well as obvious support and resistance levels, the lowest points of candlesticks, or mechanical ATR stops. These levels seem "professional," but in fact, they have long become market consensus. Where there is consensus, it is the easiest place to be harvested.

This is the core issue—your stop-loss levels are not a secret; they are "common rules" openly displayed. When enough people set stops at the same levels using the same logic, for large funds, this is not "hunting," but "waiting for the wind."
