Place stops on structure, not feeling
A stop belongs where, if price gets there, your reason for the trade was wrong — not where your tolerance runs out.
Too tight and ordinary noise takes you out repeatedly. Too wide and one trade becomes account-level risk.
If the correct stop distance makes the size too small to bother with, that means the account is too small for this market — not that the stop should move.
Run it on your own numbers
A more important question than any entry. You choose what you can lose; the stop distance then decides the size, not the other way round.
