Struggling to translate analysis into actionable stops on $ES
Hey all, fairly new to futures and coming from equities. I feel like my market analysis on $ES is getting stronger, I'm identifying key levels, decent zones, understanding momentum shifts. The issue is translating that into a precise stop loss that makes sense for my risk. I keep putting in stops that get brushed by noise before the move I predicted happens, or they're too wide and blow out my R. For those trading $ES intraday, how do you manage to place tight but effective stops that respect the structure of the market without being purely arbitrary based on a fixed ATR multiple?
