Hi Bruce,  how can I use the Volatilty Stop to plot a 30% stop below the ATR(5) ?

I am not sure I understand the question.

The Volatility Stop Multiplyer is a multiple of ATR which will be plotted above or below the extreme price.

So setting this to 1.3 would plot the VS at 1 ATR + 30% of 1 ATR (or 130% of ATR) below the extreme.

If however you actually want to plot a line 30% below the value of the VS indicator itself, the only way I can think of would be to apply a 1 period envelope channel to the Volatility Stop indicator with the Width (%) setting set to 30. This will plot lines both 30% above and 30% below the VS indicator. I don't know of a way to just plot the line that is below and not plot the line that is abvoe.
