What you’ll learn: who the stop hunter actually is (not the market maker – anyone with size that needs a fill), why the pool pays twice (your forced exit is their entry, and breakout chasers hand them momentum), the four-stage anatomy of every stop hunt – setup, push, harvest, snap-back, why nobody at a quant firm knows your name but everybody can see the pile, how to tell a liquidity sweep from a real breakout (long wick + fast reclaim vs three consecutive closes), real BTC hunt forensics on the chart, where hunts thrive (obvious levels, thin weekend books, leverage), the false breakout as the same event from the other side, and three defense rules so your stop loss stops being a donation. Homework: find one sweep on any chart – first 50 graded.
