   Volatility generally refers to the degree of variation or fluctuation in something over a certain period of time. It is often used in financial contexts to describe the statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index.

1. Volatility

   In finance, volatility is a measure for variation of price of a financial instrument over time. Historic volatility is derived from time series of past market prices. An implied volatility is derived from the market price of a market traded derivative. The symbol σ is used for volatility, and corresponds to standard deviation, which should not be confused with the similarly named variance, which is instead the square, σ².
