for trend-following systems trailing with ATR is generally a good idea.

Thanks for the comments guys. All constructive feedback.

My main reason for wanting to incorporate a Volatility Based Stop is to keep me in the market when it's really moving. The big money is made on the big moves, but that means big counter moves which have to be dealt with intelligently.

I think I will start testing something based on a percentage of the rolling five day range just to see how it tests.

cheers,
