place it beyond the obvious level, not on it, with a volatility buffer. the common stop-hunt target is the cluster of stops sitting right at the round level or exact swing point, so put yours past where that grab would reach, and accept the slightly larger risk by sizing down. youre trading a little wider stop for far fewer premature exits. it wont be perfect, but stops placed past the obvious liquidity get wicked far less than ones sitting on it.
