I do think stop hunting is real.

And some brokers are doing that to their customers, and worse. These
brokers should be put out of business, in my opinion.

I'm not saying these bad activities don't go on.

What I am saying is:

You are responsible for the broker you pick. "Due diligence" should be taken
very seriously. In the world's largest financial market, don't deposit your
hard-earned money with someone you haven't done your best to assess.
Ask around. Troll the Internet for information and opinions on the broker.
Call them with random questions, pretending to be dumber than you are.
See how they treat you and how consistent their answers are.

You are responsible for every aspect of your wins and losses. You choose to
trade or not. You decide when. You decide why.

You. The person in the mirror.

See, most people are very uncomfortable with this much freedom and the
responsibility that comes with it. When the going gets tough, they revert
to a childlike state and try to blame someone else.

You must grow out of that to succeed at trading. There is no option.
