Hi seandunaway,

Thanks for bringing up this topic. It inspired me to do some research which may help. CME has 2 types of stop orders as defined here:
https://www.cmegroup.com/confluence/display/EPICSANDBOX/Order+Types+for+Futures+and+Options

1. Stop with protection -- in this version the trader is not setting a limit, so the CME decides what limit should be set. It is half of the "Globex Non-Reveiewable Ranges" as defined here: https://www.cmegroup.com/rulebook/files/588h-globex-non-reviewable-trading-ranges.xls ... In the case of the ES, this is indeed 3 points.

2. Stop limit -- in this version the trader is setting the limit. I believe SC provides the ability to exit with stop-limits rather than "stops". Thus, if you use stop-limits you should be able to choose a limit much further from the trigger price, perhaps even 100 points.

Hope this helps.
