The period of monthly closing prices used for the estimated measure of the maximum percentage by which a share price is expected to fluctuate during a period. The volatility of a share price is the standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the share over a specified period. That is the same as the standard deviation of the differences in the natural logarithms of the stock prices plus dividends, if any, over the period.
