IndustryWhen 80% of retail traders set EUR/USD stop-losses
When 80% of retail traders set EUR/USD stop-losses at 1.0850, market makers have an incentive to briefly push the price higher, triggering their stops. One platform was exposed for widening the spread to 15 pips five minutes before the London opening, swallowing up stop-loss orders. Protective strategy: Avoid setting stop-losses within ±3 pips of a round number; instead, use a combination of limit orders and trailing stops.#SharingTradingMistakesAndGrowth#BrokerEvaluation#BrokerEvaluation
