High frequency algorithms & Dark Pools

One questions I would like to start is:

Should we put the stop loss order on trading platform, or leave it on paper and close the order manually?

1st point of view: We put it on the trader platform, but today the high frequency algorithms trade with that knowledge and could adjust strategies just to trigger that stop loss;

2nd point of view: We do not put it on the trader platform, but right it on paper and close the order manually when the market bumps it. Do not show the High frequency algorithms the order, but we must expend much more attention.

Not right or wrong, just making a debate on this topic.
