[Metastockusers] Reading historical data

Hi...
The question relates comparing historical volatility with implied 
volatility in options.
The formula below when entered into Metastock's Indicator builder 
allows me to gauge the 100 day historical volatility:

Std(Log(C/Ref(C,-1)),100)*Sqrt(365)*100

My question is. How exactly should I be reading this indicator?

When I look at the indicator line do I take the most recent figure as 
the average of the last 100 days?

How do other uses quantify historical volatility?

Sorry if this is an inane question but I just don't get it.

Kind regards

M.
