Variance - MetaTrader 5 Script | Trading Script Download - MT4/MT5 Resources - MetaTrader 5 Resources
Standard deviation measures how different a data set is from its mean; it tells us how spread out the data is. A very crowded dataset will have a small standard deviation for individual points, whereas the entire map of the dataset will have a large standard deviation.
Given a sample, the standard deviation is defined as the square root of the variance
Here you can find Welford's calculation method (single-pass method), which can avoid errors in certain cases (if the variance is small compared to the square of the mean, and calculating the difference leads to catastrophic cancellation where important leading numbers are eliminated, and the result has a large relative error)
