Question 1

What is a stop hunt?

Accepted Answer

A move engineered (or naturally drawn) to the price level where a cluster of stop-losses sits, triggering them, then reversing. Because retail stops bunch at obvious round numbers and support/resistance, price often wicks just past the level to grab that liquidity before continuing.

Question 2

How far beyond the level should my stop be?

Accepted Answer

Beyond the typical wick or liquidity-grab size for that asset — often a fraction of a percent to a couple of percent, wider for volatile coins. Look at recent candles: how far do wicks poke past support before the body closes back inside? Set the buffer past that, then reduce position size to keep risk constant.
