I agree with Adam. Putting stops in obvious places such as just below previous lows or above previous highs is a no no. Just a couple of examples.
I've been live with Interbankfx going on 3 years now. I've only had 1 issue with them that was my fault. I didn't know trailing stops wouldn't work if the platform was not up and running. That has been the only issue. They are also far from the best broker out there. Have you seen their spreads during news? I don't trade the news so it doesn't bother me but I might one day. Hard to make money with 10+ pip spreads during some news releases.
Stops getting hit is just part of trading. We try to make the winners at least twice the size of losers and roll on with it. I like 4:1 or greater.
Hope it helps. Trade well.
