<<There is a general tendency once a trader has had stops hit a few
times to blame the "insiders" rather than to blame the choice of stop
placement.>>

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after me, Earl.

I would give the floor trading piranha no such slack in blaming the
victim.  There are various methods of stop placement, but they are
hardly more than an educated guess.  If a big local decides to run the
stops during a quiet time, he does.  Does that make it right.  NO!  One
would say, "it's part of the game, live with it"  and I would say, I
do.  However, it does not make this malicious activity right.  If the
locals do not control their own, they will have controls placed upon
them, or more likely, a trading " island" for futures will form like in
Nasdaq level II stocks.
