Here's something to add to your stops menu. In his book Van Tharp cites studies that show that a stock in an uptrend does not fluctuate over about 200% of its volatility as defined by the average true range. He suggests a stop at 250% of the ATR. That would be $0.90 on SLW.

Often volatility will decrease near a top which results in your stop getting tighter as price approaches the apex.
