Introduction
• In finance, volatility is a measure for variation of price of a financial instrument over time. It is a general measure for traders analyze how risky he has been exposed by holding his financial instruments. Unfortunately, the volatility does not concern the direction of the price changes.

Implied volatility• The implied volatility of an asset is an estimate
of volatility, or rate of price change, for the asset. It is the volatility of the option implied by current market prices. In mathematical finance, volatility is defined as the annualized standard deviation of daily price changes. Implied volatility can be interpreted as the market expected future volatility.

• Calculate Implied Volatility with Black-Sholes Model:
------ price of the call ------ ption price from the market

• In order to find the root in the model, we can apply the Newton-Raphson Method as follow:
So start with by guessing a initial value:
eventually as soon as the following equation holds, our implied volatility is estimated.
p* is the observed price of put

• The same method apply to call option:

Calculation of Historical Volatility
T: period of the observation. P: the price in day t t : from 1 to T+1

Implied Volatility and Historical Volatility
• Historical volatility reflects the price movement of the underlying asset during a past period, that is to say, it looks backward at price actions and measures the degree of change in the price of a security. While the implied volatility it looks forward.
