All or 
none of your example might work well.   You will only find this out 
through experimentation (optimization).

You 
would add vola% for a buy stop/level and subtract vola% for a sell 
stop/level.

I would 
start by using 2*vola% and test variations from there.

  [amibroker] Average price volatility in percent
  Hi all,
  after having found some such formula, a
  question arises about its correct interpretation: 
  
  does this percent value mean that the
  volatility to both sides together (up and down) is 
  
  that much, or is it the value 
  for one side only?
   
  Say, I expect the stock drop tomorrow and
  would like to subtract vola% from todays 
  price
  to build a hypotetical price for 
  tomorrow. Which 
  of the following methods should 
  I take: 
    1 * vola%
    1/2 * vola%
    2 * vola%
   
  UM

    I 
    hope that they each give a different value.  Otherwise, I wouldn't have 
    provided three methods.   They are three DIFFERENT methods of 
    calculating volatility.   I have at least 25 more.  
    "Volatility" doesn't mean the same thing to everyone.    Some 
    system developers/traders think in terms of closing price only.   
    This would be especially true for people who trade mutual funds.   
    Others, want to incorporate the highs and the lows (ATR).

      StDev(Close,12) / Close * 
      100;AddColumn(percentvolatility1,"PV1");PercentVolatility2 =

      100;AddColumn(percentvolatility2,"PV1");myAverage = 
      MA(Close,10);NonStdDev = 
      HHV(abs(Close-myAverage),10);PercentVolatility3 = NonStdDev / Close * 
      100;AddColumn(percentvolatility3,"PV2");Thankl you
