Your stop-loss isn't the problem. Your levels are.
Most traders place stops at round numbers because they look safe. The market doesn't care what looks safe — it cares where volume actually traded.
Volume Profile 101:
▸ POC — where the most volume changed hands. The market's strongest magnet.
▸ VAH / VAL — the edges of yesterday's value. Rejection zones until proven otherwise.
▸ Stops belong outside value — not inside it.
Read yesterday's profile before the open. Trade the levels, not your emotions.
