did you know MM's can see your margin level and stop losses. if your margin level low they will move markets to grab contracts. thus risk management.

I heard it from multiple sources that even the some of the brokers themselves manipulate the market to trigger the stop losses of retail traders, and it was about big (internationally big) brokers, though obviously only ones that are MMs themselves. I read it from a systematic forex trader that his bot doesn't place stop losses for this reason, but follows the market and executes them manually.

well i can tell you it's true they do. i don't place stop losses i only do when there is news given mm's can do anything then. you may think you have a small balance why me? but they still do. we call it a stop hunt.

Manipulation in the forex market is most common. Sudden spikes and ledge are perfect witness to this (which may not be found with other brokers charts). I too heard many forex traders do not prefer trading with stop loss for this reason. Do not aware of bitcoin markets with these kind of manipulations, still possible.
