While the implied volatility refers to the market's assessment of future volatility, the realized volatility measures what actually happened in the past. The measurement of the volatility depends on the particular situation. For example, one could calculate the realized volatility for the equity market in March of 2003 by taking the standard deviation of the daily returns within that month. One could look at the realized volatility between 10:00AM and 11:00AM on June 23, 2003 by calculating the standard deviation of one minute returns.  ### Most Popular Terms: - [Earnings per share (EPS)](https://www.nasdaq.com/glossary/e/earnings-per-share) - [Beta](https://www.nasdaq.com/glossary/b/beta) - [Market capitalization](https://www.nasdaq.com/glossary/m/market-capitalization) - [Outstanding](https://www.nasdaq.com/glossary/o/outstanding) - [Market value](https://www.nasdaq.com/glossary/m/market-value) - [Over-the-counter (OTC)](https://www.nasdaq.com/glossary/o/over-the-counter) - [Sexvigintillion](https://www.nasdaq.com/glossary/s/sexvigintillion) - [National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD)](https://www.nasdaq.com/glossary/n/national-association-of-securities-dealers) Market Makers Sign up for our newsletter to get the latest on the transformative forces shaping the global economy, delivered every Thursday.
