Variance

The Variance (VAR) endpoint calculates the statistical variance of a financial data series, providing a measure of how much the data points deviate from the average value. It returns a numerical value representing this dispersion, which can be used to assess the volatility of a security over a specified period. This information is crucial for traders and analysts who need to evaluate the risk associated with price fluctuations in the market.
