A general formula is 
RANGE=(RANGE * (N-1) + HIGH _ LOW) / N

Short Stop = LOWEST CLOSE + RANGE * C
Long Stop  = HIGHEST CLOSE - RANGE * C

Were N is the number of bars and C is a Multiplier Constant. For my own
part, I use

N = 8
C = 2

I only use VOL stops as a indicator, however. I rely somewhat more on
Parabolic Stops but I don't use either as the ultimate decision tool.
