  ABSTRACT: Investors find it difficult to determine the movement of prices of stock due to volatility. Empirical evidence has shown that volatility is stochastic which contradicts the Black-Scholes framework of assuming it to be constant. In this paper, stochastic volatility is estimated theoretically in a model-free way without assuming its functional form. We show proof of an identity establishing an exact expression for the volatility in terms of the price process. This theoretical presentation for estimating stochastic volatility with the presence of a compensated Poisson jump is achieved by using Fourier Transform with Bohr’s convolution and quadratic variation. Our method establishes the addition of a compensated Poisson jump to a stochastic differential equation using Fourier Transforms around a small time window from the observation of a single market evolution.
