Realized vs Longer-Realized Vol Gap

Short-window realized volatility versus long-window realized volatility, and the gap between them, as a proxy for volatility expansion and compression when true implied volatility is unavailable on the symbol. It does NOT generate buy or sell signals.
What it shows
- Short-window and long-window annualised realized volatility
- The gap and the gap as a percent of the long baseline
Honest by design
- No buy/sell signals. This is honestly an RV-vs-RV proxy, not true implied volatility; set the annualisation factor to sqrt(periods per year) for your timeframe.
- Non-repainting: rolling standard deviations on confirmed bars.
