HISTORICAL VOLATILITY ESTIMATION 10e

Instructions

Fill in the column labeled "Asset Price". The columns containing the observation number and date are optional. Indicate the data frequency with a d, w, m, or y for daily, weekly, monthly or yearly (not case sensitive). This allows the spreadsheet to convert the periodic standard deviation into an annual standard deviation. Input cells are bordered by double lines. Output cells are bordered by single lines. To change the number of observations, add or delete rows above the double line (=====). Copy the formulas in columns, D, E and F of the last row of data onto any new rows you add. Make sure you do not erase the double line on the row between your last observation and the totals. If you do, the formulas will not automatically adjust to the number of observations you are using. Also, be sure there are no additional rows between the double line and the totals. Hit F9 to recalculate.
