//| Indicator shows the values of history volatility                 |
//| It is possible to calculate a volatility in several methods      |
//|  - Simple Historical Volatility                                  |
//|  - Exponential Historical Volatility                             |
//|  - High-Low Historical Volatility                                |
//|                                                                  |  
//| A few commentaries:                                              |
//| 1. This indicator does not show the entry points of the market   |
//|    and exit points too ;-)                                       |
//| 2. The indicator image is similar to the ATR indicator image,    |
//|    particularly when calculating by Parkinson method.            |
//|    Nevertheless the values are different                         |
//| 3. For the VaR calculation the 95-percentage probability is used,|
//|    that is the indicator shows a value in points (without        | 
//|    5-th character), which may be achieved by price with          |
//|    the propability of 5% for a period which equal to investment  |
//|    horizon (grznt)                                               |
