Ok. I understand the concept and how it's useful. I was, myself, trying to figure how to deal with volatility since long time. Clearly, it needs to be integrated in the way we deal with the stoploss.

The only thing I don't really get is when you write "3x the ATR (200) i.e. 3% ATR". Ok: the stop is at 3 times the ATR. That's clear. But I don't see in what sense you say that this corresponds to 3% ATR. 3% of what ?

Not so important anyway.

It was simply a way to shorten it for myself so I didn't have to write 3x ATR(200) everytime or 300% ATR(200), so I simply shortened it to 3% ATR as it was only for my personal reference, so didn't really matter. So as long as you understand that it means 3 times the 200 day ATR, it can written anyway that you wish, if it's something that you are going to use.
