If orders are 50 pips away on a Monday morning, then they are probably ‘within range’ and could be targeted; otherwise depends on market conditions and liquidity. For instance, in USD/JPY, sometimes 5 pips is when they start due to depth of market

I have two questions: you said dealers go for stops usually when they are within 15-20 pips. a) What do they do if the big stops on either side are about 50 pips away? b) It may happen often that the orders they see on the books are ‘protective stops’ by the customers. Customers probably do not want those orders executed. Do the dealers target these stops regardless, or they selflessly try to help the customers (the big ones?) by pushing prices the other way? I can almost hear the laughter, but had to ask since you seemed to indicate that the dealers are just doing their jobs which I presume is helping customers? 😉
