Re: "Lately I have been experimenting with setting stops based on the volatility of the price action. ... Stop based on Standard Deviation of Average True Range (SSDATR)(ref(Close,-1) - (( atr(PATR) + std(atr(PATR),PDEV,1)) * (1+K)))..." Not owning the charting program, the equation is like Greek to me. Nevertheless, I think I understand the concept and that is to set a stop a certain number of standard deviations below the price. Is that correct? If so, why not just use Bollinger Bands?
