Hi, personally, depending on the position I'm taking I take Two ATR readings from my entry
Eg
ATR reading on a 1H chart is 10 pips, my stop must be 20 pips minimum above entry and also be higher than any previous spike highs/lows to give price enough breathing space if it were to retest any previous structure
Hope this helps

Hi, would you not say that your stop is a little bit to tight in comparison with the highs of the candle on the 31/12/2014 at 01:00?
The highs of that candle were 0.8213's and your stop is the same level?

Ohh I'm sorry ,uncorrect formed graphical position ,of course stop loss must stay for extremum 0,8213 . i suppose 0,8218-8220 optimal :)))
What is your opinion about this ?
