A structural stop is placed where the trade idea is actually wrong, not at an arbitrary percentage. Common anchors are the signal candle's extreme, the high/low of the last N bars, a multiple of ATR, the nearest swing point, or an indicator level such as a moving average. The stop sits just beyond that structure.
The benefit is that the exit lines up with how the market is actually behaving; the risk is that structure can sit far from entry, so guards are essential — a maximum stop distance, a rule for when the stop is too wide (allow, skip, or clamp), and a fallback for when the structure cannot be computed.
Ejemplo
Instead of a flat 2% stop, a long anchors its stop just below the most recent swing low — the level that would invalidate the setup.
