Well, the forex market would be the largest of the capital markets across the world.

You and your broker know that you have placed a stop loss order on the currency trade that you wish to protect. You would do this to either protect the profit of this currency position or you wish to stop a further mounting of losses on this position. The trading platform that your broker is utilizing has been activated in this regard; and is awaiting execution in case the stated trigger price of your stop loss is reached due to market action.

The other participants (including the big international investors) in all likelihood would not know about your particular stop loss order.

Sincerely,

Akash

The big boys play games with currency quotes designed to run the small players into their ‘stop loss’ (thus forcing them to loose money) and then hiking the price again before any of the small players can react by buying low …

They have no idea of any individual ‘stop loss’ .. only the volume of buy/sell orders generated by each point they cause the currency to be marked up or down … the trick is to push the price down until the other players stop selling in a panic and start buying .. at which point they reverse the process ..
