The scenario is a trader will face the dealing, not to the stock exchange. When a trader executes the price, the price is opening the buy or sell transaction. Otherwise, dealing will do so. If you get a loss, it will be a broker’s profit. If you get a profit, so the broker is lost. One of the tricks is to create a situation in which the client stops losing. Hence, a long spike will pick the stop loss up.
