getSymbols(symbol, from = start_date, to = end_date)
# Extract adjusted closing prices
prices <- Cl(get(symbol))
# Calculate daily returns
returns <- dailyReturn(prices, type = "log")
# Calculate historical volatility
historical_volatility <- sd(returns)* sqrt(252) # Assuming 252 trading days in a year
