Alright so I have heard that the market makers will move the market to clear out peoples stops. I can see two reasons why they'd do this but I am not certain which one is the real reason. If a market makers clears out a lot of peoples' stops that are at a loss, does this market manufacturer get that cash? Or is the reason that they move the market to clear peoples' stops in order to receive their orders full? In other words, do they sometimes need to find the price up/down to people's stops in order to have someone who will fulfill their orders?
I don't know, perhaps I am way off but some explanations are appreciated.
