# Stops

## Stop Placement

Crayon signal candle’s highs/lows can be used to place stops. However to avoid illiquid wicking and whipsaws, traditional stop placing on previous highs/lows is recommended. Remember discretion should always be used when placing stops. Placing stops on invalidation open and close is not advised, stops needs to be above the high or low, if you plan on using the same candle.
