WHY a Forex Dealer/Market Maker?

[Brolin8]

I found this on another thread about “stop-loss hunting.” Sounds like a good approach considering that it seems to be part of how the “game” is played.

Oanda: Stop Loss Hunting? Are they safe to put my money?

With that said, I generally only have an “oh sh*t” stop loss. And I move it to break even when I want to secure a number of pips. Plenty of times I seen price retrace to obvious stop loss levels just for it to go right back down. Whether it’s stop loss hunting or just the market being how the market is, I’ve long accepted it and have adapted it to my trading.
