trend following question
I have read where when a lot of individual traders set their stops, the professionals have ways of manipulating the market in that stock to force your trade to stop out since a lot of individual investors set stops at the same place.
So my question is if you have located a very good uptrend over the past six months in a particular stock showing good up trends on monthly, weekly and daily charts can the professionals manipulate this stock like described in the above paragraph?
Or are there too many people supporting this uptrend since it has gone on so long?

thanks for any insight on this issue.

Those who set stops at an absolute value will get stopped out more often in a volatile stock. Relative stops are needed to consider the individual characteristics of volatility on the trading instrument.
