need help with setting stops

can some one please direct me to some good information on setting stops, this week i had about 4 or 5 trades stop out because i set them to tight, i was correct about my trades stopped me out took off without me,(i mostly use 1 hour charts) and daily for extra data.
yeah im using demo

Try being less conservative...at one point i even got rid of my SL all together, but my first loser took any profits i had.

What i do now is look at all my charts. I determine levels of support and resistance and place trades accordingly. If i put a long in above support, i'll place a SL below support, just in case. Hope that helps...

But lately, my trades have been getting hit by a sudden new high/low and then a sudden reversal. I usually keep a 2 week standing order right above/below the high/low of the week/month and those keep getting hit and stopped. Oh well, teach me to trade while i sleep.

You will see that people have different opinions and levels of sophistication. I was surprised to find so many differing points of view in experienced traders.

Some of the best advice I read was in the rookies sticky threads. I would advise researching ATR and levels of support and resistance. It's worth the effort.
