Even big brokers like OANDA and IBFX don't have the resources to send out a different data stream to each individual user, and micromanage every account and change the stream against them every time they make a trade
yarcofin heres my take on that. You know why fibs work so well? How about support and resistence? How about round numbers? Think about it. Traders that use stop losses pick similar spots to place there spots for example behind a nice resistence that has been holding well or 2 pips beyond the last bar. It is very common to see price hit those areas only to continue in the direction you wanted. Honestly stops are for suckers. I hate to say that coz alot of people will get mad at me but there is many ways to manage your trade without them.

I don't necessarily think it is the broker doing this. The big boys manipulate the markets all the time.
