Not the entry candle

The tightest stop available is the one just past the candle you entered on, and it is the one that gets taken most often.

There is a stop that looks much better than 2,441, and it is the one to refuse.

The tempting one

You sold at 2,431 inside the block, and the candle you entered on topped at 2,431.

A stop at 2,432 is one dollar of risk. Against a target 35 dollars below, the arithmetic looks extraordinary.

A stop just past the entry candle produces the best numbers on paper.

Inside a block, price wanders. It can trade up to 2,436, sit there, and then fall away to 2,396 exactly as you read it.
