Hull

Hull is a measure used in finance to assess the risk of options and derivatives. It involves calculating the average price of a stock over a specific period, such as 20 or 30 days, by giving more importance to recent prices. This smooths out short-term fluctuations and provides a clearer picture of the stock's typical price level. Traders and analysts use Hull's calculations to better evaluate market trends, manage risk, and make informed decisions. In essence, Hull helps quantify market behavior to improve trading strategies without the noise of daily price volatility.
