Do you think that banks and institutions hunt for retail CFDs traders' stop losses? No, please don't.

We are so insignificant. No, the real problem is that people like you and I and everybody else, we always place our stop loss above the old highs or below the old lows because that's what we do. And we don't have big budgets either. So therefore, we are easy target. Of course. Do you know what my best friend and mentor David Paul once said? And maybe you should pass that on to your students. He said, I always like to place my orders where the crowd place their stop-loss. Definitely.
