Re: YM stops based on pivots

A few things Freddie -

1) A lower timeframe should result in smaller stops.
2) A lower timeframe could also result in more fakeouts and more stopouts, albeit smaller.

I personally base my stop on the pattern/condition being traded. I don't use fixed stops.

In order to max your stops smaller, you'll want to consider a lower timeframe or improving your entry.
