Here is the V-stop formula from Patrick To: j g cordes (40988 ) From: Patrick Slevin Thursday, Apr 23 1998 12:37PM ET Reply # of 41152 The Volatility Stop.... ....is calculated by multiplying the average range of a bar by a constant; the resulting value is added to the lowest close while short or subtracted from the highest close while long. The software I use presents this as the formula. RANGE = (RANGE * (N-1) + HIGH - LOW) / N The suggestion for the constant is to use somewhere from 2.8 to 3.1; I use 8 bars and 2.0 for the constant. I am trying to interpret how to us this formula.
