      An application of the method of moments to range-based volatility estimation using daily high, low, opening, and closing (HLOC) prices (English)
      0 references
      The authors develop a volatility estimator based on the range of arithmetic Brownian motion and using the method of moments on the daily high, low, opening and closing prices. They show that in comparison to an existing drift-independent estimator, their estimator is more efficient for a smaller number of data points. An example illustrating how this estimator could be used in an algorithmic trading context is given.
