Trailing stops on lower timeframes: how do you filter out the noise?

I’ve been trying to automate my exits on the 5m and 1m charts, but I keep running into the same issue. Whenever I set a tight trailing stop, I get wicked out by random market noise right before the actual move happens. I am currently running my scripts through goldmanncolimited for execution, and while sending the automated order adjustments to the server is seamless, my actual exit logic is flawed.
Do you guys trail based on previous swing lows, or do you use an ATR multiplier to give the trade enough room to breathe? I want to completely remove human emotion from my exits but I am struggling to find the right mechanical filter to code into my setup.
