Most traders obsess over finding the perfect entry. They wait for confirmation, refine their indicators, stress over the exact price. Then they put their stop loss 2% below because it "feels right." That is backwards. Your entry determines your potential reward. Your stop loss determines your actual risk. And if your stop loss is placed based on a round number or gut feel instead of market structure, you will get stopped out of winning trades constantly. A stop loss belongs below the last significant low, above the last significant high, or outside the range that would invalidate your trade idea. Not at a fixed percentage. Not just below a support level everyone else is watching. If your stop requires more risk than your setup justifies, the answer is to skip the trade. Not to tighten the stop until the math works. Where are you placing your stops right now, structure-based or percentage-based? #riskmanagement
