Complete definition

Historical volatility calculated from intraday price ranges (open to high/low), excluding overnight gaps. Isolates session-only volatility. Useful for day traders and for identifying whether overnight events or intraday trading is driving realized vol.

Example

A stock's open-range HV is 35% while close-to-close is 35% — intraday trading is the main vol source. If close-to-close jumps to 50% while open-range stays at 35%, overnight gaps are adding vol.
