Does anyone can describe a possibility to move a stock against a daytrader? May it be done by his broker or proprietary company? Is it makes sense for them and how they can do that?
Do you feel like being cheated ?
I think the daytrader is his own, worst, enemy.
Even if everyone wants to take your money. Ethically or not.
To make someone's position a loosing bet is hard.
You can manipulate a market, by controlling the fundamentals.
Like spreadsheets, meetings, supplies, news or whatever.
But hardly with your own orders directly in the market.
Market Makers can widen their spreads (Risk Averse)
But can't move a market against you. Really.
Conspiracy Theories are everywhere.
But it's not by knowing that someone wants to run your stops.
That you will be able to be a winner in that game...
