Options + stop losses

Wondering how some other options traders stop out of their trades. Are you sticking to a % stop loss or are you basing it off the price action of the symbol you’re trading?

I personally stick to a 10% stop loss but I wonder if it holds me back from reaching my max profitability since whenever i stop out on a trade I retry it. And since my RR is mostly 1:1, i would just come back to breakeven/small green at best or i would make my losses on the day worse
