  <title><![CDATA[What was the HV if earnings announcements are excluded?]]></title>
  <link>http://www.orats.com/orats_menu.htm#11</link>
  <description><![CDATA[The file contains close to close historical volatilities that exclude the volatility on the day of and day after earnings announcements.  There are fourteen rows of data for each stock.  Each row represents a different historical volatility calculation: the first twelve match the trading days to expiration for the next 12 calendar month expirations and the last two match the trading days to expiration of the first and second January LEAPs.  
On a sample day, the file could contain the following HV rows for each stock: 17-day HV, 41-day HV, 61-day HV, 80-day HV, 104-day HV, 124-day HV, 148-day HV, 168-day HV, 188-day HV, 212-day HV, 230-day HV, 250-day HV, 274-day HV, an-day 482-day HV.  
There are 252 columns of data.  Each column shows the historical volatility calculation on a specific trading day during the past year.  This file is available daily via ftp and can be opened directly into Excel.]]></description>
