Official Definition.
i.e. Previous Swing High or Low, Below the Support ,Above the Resistance, Etc.
They Preset these Obvious Levels as their SLs resulting in Forming a Cluster of Stop Losses. Just like so many Fish come together at point of traps.
Price Jumped Almost 40 Points, made low of 11387 and Bounced right Back to 11420.
The 2nd Doji Candle Happened in matter Of seconds.
50+ Points Upmove.
Answer is Simple. Operators or Big Players just want a 'Better Fill' to their Orders. They have Nothing against the Retailers. It happens Every Now and then in specific Stocks..and will keep happening...
Well. First Thing, SL should be at a Place where Possibility of Clear Trend reversal is High..
And 2nd,, Entry Should be Only After Retest of Trend. Entering in excitement just after 1st Breakout Doesn't result in Good Outcome Everytime.
Only Then u can Survive these Kind Of Markets...

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
