Our latest research applicable specifically for Traders Org's Original Real Success daytrading methodology indicates stop-loss orders of 170 Points for the Pit-Traded Full-Size S&P 500 Contract, which equals $425.00.

Note: This is based on a Conservative Trading Mode as we don't want to trade with much more risk than this per daytrade. Moderate Mode and Aggressive Mode trading in the full-size S&P-500 market is not recommended at this time due to the markets overall volatility and its high price level.

Note: In the event the full-size SP-500 Market appears volatile (as it frequently is), we suggest you bypass trades if they involve stop-losses of much more than the equivalent of about $300 to $500.

Our latest research applicable specifically for the original Real Success daytrading methodology for the Electronically Traded E-Mini S&P 500 Contract indicates stop-loss orders as follows: Conservative Mode 150 Points, Moderate Mode 225 Points, Aggressive Mode 500 Points, which equals $75.00, $112.50 and $250.00 respectively.

Note: Since this Mini-Contract is a "low-risk" market and also "easier" to trade well as far as the percentage of wins are concerned, we can afford the luxury of occasional comparatively large stop-losses as far as the number of points or ticks go.

Keep in mind these are suggested minimum stop-loss price levels. Sometimes if the market is volatile, fast or choppy and in a wide sideways trading-range the stops may need to be increased to avoid being stopped-out too often.
