.BVOL: Annualized Historical Volatility Index

The BitMEX 30 day Historical Volatility Index is referred to as the .BVOL Index. The Index is the rolling 30 day annualised volatility of the daily 11:30 UTC to 12:00 UTC Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP) of Bitcoin / USD. This TWAP is calculated by taking price measurements at 1 minute intervals for 30 minutes.

Calculation Formula

P = Daily TWAP from day 0 to day 30 
  (i.e. 31 prices to give 30 price movements) 
Stdev = Sample Standard Deviation 
Ln = Natural Logarithm 
Sqrt = Square Root 

.BVOL Index = Stdev(Ln(P1/P0), Ln(P2/P1), ..., Ln(P30/P29)) *
              Sqrt(365)
