That's not bad luck. That's liquidity.
Big orders need someone on the other side. To buy size, someone has to sell. Where is that selling sitting? On the stops of everyone who bought the last low.
So before price goes up for real, it comes down and takes that low first. Long wick, stops cleared, then it runs.
Three things that tell you it's a sweep, not a real break:
1. The candle breaks the low but closes back inside the range. Long wick, small body.
2. No continuation after the break. A real break keeps going immediately.
3. There were 2–3 equal lows before it. Equal lows = money parked there = bait.
What to do with it: stop putting your SL right under the nearest low. Put it under the sweep zone, or wait for the sweep and enter the other way.
This one adjustment alone cuts a lot of those "right direction, still red" trades.
