Stop loss (SL)
The price level at which the trade thesis is structurally invalid. Set at the zone boundary, not at a round number. Moving a stop loss against your position is the single most correlated behavior with long-run unprofitability.
How Sigmentum uses it
Sigmentum places stop losses 1× ATR beyond the structural zone boundary. Round numbers (e.g., 2,330 on Gold) are where most retail traders place stops — and therefore targets for stop-hunt moves before the actual directional move begins. The zone boundary is the price where the thesis is genuinely wrong, not merely uncomfortable. A stop at the center of the zone is an invitation to be stopped before actual failure.
