No.

To elaborate...............how, when we don't even know if you're investing over 10 years or 10minutes or even 10 seconds!

Also... No.

But if I was forced into an answer.... Support, Resistance, Acceptance.

Study the price action... over the last 5, 10, 20 days. What's the trading range for the stock/instrument you're trading is something I asked myself I think that helps.

Your question is to vague. what kind of system is it... TF... reverse to the mean etc....
The stop need to fit the system and you need to be confortable with it.
Myself I am using 3 differents stops for my TF systems and they complete each other.
