DRI:  Daily Volatility = Price Range as a percent of the daily average price.

This chart shows Volatility for Darden Restaurants, defined to be the price range as a portion of the average price:

For instance, on 3/10/2010 the average price was 41.93 with a range of 0.69, indicating a Daily Volatility of 1.6%. Daily Volatility (the daily range as a portion of the daily average price) is plotted in green. Blue is Weekly Volatility, which is the weekly range as a portion of the weekly average price. This is a different concept from the weekly average of daily volatility.

The red plot shows the actual price. The remaining marks on the plot correspond to the Volatility measured across several time intervals.

Investors often make a distinction between the concept of Volatility, and the concept of Risk. Academics define them to be exactly equivalent, but as can be seen here, there is good reason to distinguish between the levels of volatility or risk experienced across different time frames. Average Daily Volatility over the history of DRI has been 3% in contrast to the Average Quarterly Volatility of 27%.
