The "Algos" mostly hunt stop losses, of the sheeple. Nothing has really changed, in 1930 it was stock operators hunting the public today it's algorithms.

@Mir Asif Baloch That really depends on the strategy your are employing. The shorter term your outlook is the more difficult it becomes. I tend to invest mainly in growth stocks, and hold on as long as the fundamentals and technical outlook agree. If you are finding that you are initially right but then end up in a losing position, after not getting out quick enough. You can assume what ever strategy you're employing is being used against you. It's next to impossible to beat the machines on a short term basis.
