It stands for immediate historical volatility; the volatility value which is realized during the period immediately preceding the date of forecast. This period is equal to the forecasted interval. This type of volatility is usually used in pricing agricultural derivatives (particularly agricultural futures) though it doesn’t incorporate the volatility patterns associated with crop production. In other words, this volatility measure lacks the ability to predict subsequent realized volatility when volatility contains seasonal components.
