Log(x/y) = Log(x) - Log(y)
Log(x*y) = Log(x) + Log(y)
Log(x^y) = y*Log(x)

I think you have a bug in the code: you have "ln(APriceArr)" ...
It should be:
StDev(ln(APriceArr / Ref(APriceArr, -1)), APeriod)
/ sqrt(1 / ADaysInYear) * 100;
And: log is different from ln, eventhough in C/C++ log(x) means ln(x)...
I already wrote the following in my previous posting:
"
And the following relation is also true:
ln(y / x) == ln(y) - ln(x)
"
