Depends upon your timeframe and system.
I use a Bollinger Breakout System which has up to 200 pip stops on a 4hr timeframe, and another breakout technique that I use on a 30min chart, and a triangle system that I use on 30min which are up to 30 pip stops.
All in all, if you have a system, make sure it is robust, then optimize the stop widths on Tradestation.
