From EA manual: performance of Volatility Factor improves when the StopLoss value increases. In fact, with a StopLoss value greater than 440 pips, the performance is unchanged, which means that the exit logic of Volatility Factor is so effective that we do not need a StopLoss at all. 
Nevertheless, we decided to integrate an emergency StopLoss protection, which every professionally developed trading strategy must have.  We chose the 380 pips value as the value with the lowest realized drawdown.  Of course, you can use your own judgment to choose a lesser or greater value for the StopLoss. In this case, the StopLoss optimization report will give you valuable information about what performance to expect with these parameters. In relation to this, please note that the Profit Factor of the system rises in a linear correlation with the StopLoss value, so you should chose the largest StopLoss value which you can allow for your trading.
