That is really a Hundred Million Dollar Question that everyone has her own answer. The basic rules are as the following:
1. You need to know WHY you enter a position
2. Then you need to know when to give up your assumption in above rule #1. In other words, you need to know in what market situation that your position is a mistake one.
"You know that we are applying Elliott Wave analysis to our trading. When a trade is being entered, it has to be based on some wave count assumption. Since we have an assumption about how and where the wave should go, we know when our assumption beocmes invalid. In other words, we can validate our assumption against the Elliott Wave Principle. Now you know where the stop order should be placed - the stop order should be placed at (or behind) where our assumption becomes invalid. ..."

tang1688 - Based on the rule above and the wave count of this week, we can make the following bets if we entered last Friday (SPY @ 135.49):
1. 倒限單守 134.85 以下 -> 獲利點至少在 136.13 以上 (135.49+135.49-134.85=136.13)
2. 倒限單守 132.79 以下 -> 獲利點至少在 138.19 以上 (135.49+135.49-132.79=138.19)
3. 倒限單守 131.28 以下 -> 獲利點至少在 139.70 以上 (135.49+135.49-131.28=139.70)
4. 倒限單守 130.85 以下 -> 獲利點至少在 140.13 以上 (135.49+135.49-130.85=140.13)

Then you know where to place the stop order to make the trade reasonable.
