Hi guys, apologise for the total noob Q but what do the three numbers that follow historical volatility represent ?

Historical Volatility(20,7,365) for ex ? ... What are the last 3 numbers indicating ?

Emm also is this the best filter for Volatile stocks ? Or is there something better ? ( trying to find stocks with high intraday fluctuations)

Thanks a ton !
Tanveer

Hey thanks, yes I did see that link however I am not quiet sure what the difference between the period and trading period is. Also when i type historical volatility by itself it shows up with three numbers at the end instead of 2 as mentioned in the link.

Thanks
Tanveer
