Hi - is there a volatility stop indicator available?
The formula could be something like this:

When Up Trend Detected....
VSTOP = CL - MULT * TR
As Up Trend Continues....
VSTOP = MAX(VSTOP.1, MaxCL - MULT * TR)

When Down Trend Detected....
VSTOP = CL + MULT * TR

As Down Trend Continues....
VSTOP = MIN(VSTOP.1, MinCL + MULT * TR)

Where...
CL = Closing Price
MULT = True Range Multiplier
TR = True Range
VSTOP.1 = Volatility Stop Value on Previous Bar
MaxCL = Maximum Closing Price since Up Trend Began
MinCL = Minimum Closing Price since Down Trend Began

Trend reverses between up and down when Closing Price crosses VSTOP.
