Here’s what I think a DEVSTOP is in Metastock language, described in Kase’s “Trading with the Odds”, and better described in Kaufman’s “Trading Systems and Methods”. It uses a 2-day range, calculates an average range and SD of the range, and then draws 4 lines below the high, at 1 range and 0,1,2, and 3 SD’s. “2.2” and “3.6” are corrections for skew of the distribution.
