QSL Rolling Annualized Volatility

This script calculates the rolling annualized volatility of an asset, helping traders measure how much its returns fluctuate over time. It uses logarithmic daily returns and computes the standard deviation over a custom lookback period (default: 252 trading days = 1 year) to capture historical volatility. The result is scaled to an annualized figure by multiplying by √252, making it comparable across different timeframes.

🔹 Key Features:

Customizable Lookback Period: Set in days to fit different trading strategies.
Annualized Output: Expresses volatility in yearly terms for consistency with financial models.
Rolling Calculation: Continuously updates to reflect recent market conditions.
Clear Visualization: Plots volatility as a time-series indicator and displays the latest value with a label.
