[amibroker] Re: Simple StDev Question

StDev(C, 100) is most definitely standard deviation of the close.

Indeed StDev(C-Ref(C,-1), 100) would be stdev of price changes.  

However you may consider the stdev of PERCENT price changes instead, 
because these are supposedly normally distributed (bellcurve: for a 
price series, if all goes well we know how much lies within 1 stdev, 
2 stdev's etc).

Next step would be to use the logarithmic instead of the % price 
changes (they closely resemble), as it is used in volatility 
calculations:

StDev(log(C/Ref(C,-1)),100)

Finally, this may not fit in your framework at all :-)
