1. volatility

   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. The higher the volatility, the riskier the security or index. However, it can also refer to changes in other contexts, such as weather patterns, chemical reactions, etc.

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.
