Stop-Loss Placement: SNR/Trendline Bounds vs. SMC Order Blocks

One major difference between classic SNR/trendline trading and SMC is how risk is defined. SNR traders often place stops loosely below support or above trendlines, leading to wider risk parameters. SMC traders target refined Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, allowing for tighter stop losses and higher potential Risk-to-Reward (RR) ratios. Mastering tight, logical stop placement is crucial when protecting your daily loss limits on a funded challenge!
