One way is to look at MFE and MAE analysis (e.g. Sweeney, Chande etc.). But
you need to have a way to generate C/H/L info for every bar in the trade -
tough in Metastock.

Subject: [Metastockusers] How to select the most appropriated volatility for
Stop Loss indiator?




Does anyone know how to select the most appropriated level of 
volatility stop loss indicator for a group of indicators? 
There are a group of indicators to trigger their buy signals only and 
their exiting strategies are based on a volatility stop loss 
indicator.  For each indicator, their stop loss indicator can be 
optimized for different levels of volatility, but there will be 
difficult for comparing their buy signals' performance, since their 
exiting strategies are using different levels of volatilities or 
comparing apples with oranges.  If I set an arbitrary level for the 
volatility stop loss indicator for all indicators, then their buy 
signals' performance can be compared, since we are comparing apples 
with apples. However, I get no idea how to determine the most 
appropriated arbitrary level of volatility for the stop loss 
indicator, does anyone have any great idea?
Thank you
Eric
