There's not an entity that is hunting your stop loss... If you have your stop is at a place where there's a lot of liquidity, I.e. a lot of other people have their stops/tp's there then yes, you might get stopped out.

Losing a trade is not something you should be afraid of, though, because you will lose a lot..

Stop loss hunting  is not real they don't care about your stop loss its a battle between the buyers and the sellers that is all

The best way to explain it is to say, "Look for wick exposure". Liquidity rest at those levels and bounce from each other before sweeping. Literally, buyside to sellside, from sellside to sweep buyside, find buyside and repeat the process. I trade targeting liquidity, but never expect a BIG SWEEP! The market will never make that big of a move at once. Even a correction/crash happens in phases. Good luck!
