Hello Traders!
Have you ever seen your stop-loss get hit by just a few points and then the market moves in the direction you expected? That’s not a coincidence — it’s often the work of Algo Bots and big players trying to trap retail traders. These bots are designed to trick traders by moving prices to hit SLs before starting the real move.
Let’s understand how these bots work — and how you can avoid getting trapped.

How Algos Hunt Retail Stop-Losses
- They Target Common SL Zones:
Algo bots look for areas where many traders place their stop-loss — like just below support or above resistance. - They Trick with Fake Breakouts:
You may see a fast move above or below a level — but it’s just to hit SLs and then reverse. This is called a stop hunt. - They React Fast:
Bots can place thousands of trades in a second. They use their speed to catch traders off guard.
How to Beat the Bots – Pro Tips
- Avoid Obvious SL Levels:
Don’t keep SL right at support or resistance. Place it a little beyond where bots won’t expect it. - Use Structure-Based SLs:
Look at price structure and place SLs based on key swing highs/lows — not just round numbers. - Wait for Confirmation:
Don’t enter as soon as a level breaks. Wait for retest or a strong candle signal. - Mark Smart Zones:
Learn to spot liquidity areas and imbalance zones — that’s where big players usually trade after bots do their job.
