Why does your stop loss always get swept? Because you place it somewhere everyone can see.

“Bro Jia, my stop loss just got triggered, and the price immediately bounced back. Are the market makers watching me?”
I receive several private messages like this every day.
To be honest, your position of a few hundred U is really not something the market makers care about.
The reason your stop loss gets swept isn’t because someone is specifically targeting you—it's because you put your stop loss out in the open.
One point below the prior low, one point below a round-number level, a little below the moving average—
At these spots, nine out of ten retail traders set their stops like that.
Before the big players push the price higher, they conveniently sweep these “open-book stop losses.” It both helps them collect chips and reduces selling pressure.
You’re not being targeted—you’re just stuck in the same pit as most people.
So how should you set it?
Try hiding your stop loss “outside the crowd.”
For example, if it’s below a key support, push it down another 1%-2%;
Or use ATR (Average True Range) to calculate it dynamically.
The rules aren’t complicated, but they can help you avoid most stop-outs.
There’s also an even simpler method: use a time-based stop loss.
If the price doesn’t rise within a certain time after you enter, exit proactively rather than clinging to a single price level.
Starting today, move where you place your stop loss.
The deeper you hide it, the longer you survive.
