Volatility is the most important metric for risk management. It’s the amount of change in a value over time. If you’re trading stocks, it’s the percentage change in the stock price. If you’re investing in crypto, it’s the percentage change in the price of your crypto.
Time is the most important dimension for volatility. If you’re trading stocks, it’s the time since the stock price changed. If you’re investing in crypto, it’s the time since the price of your crypto changed.
