Answer 1

You can use TTR::runSD instead.

library(quantmod)
getSymbols("SPY")
spy <- apply(ROC(SPY), 2, runSD, n=5)
# head(spy)
#         SPY.Open    SPY.High     SPY.Low   SPY.Close SPY.Volume SPY.Adjusted
# [1,]          NA          NA          NA          NA         NA           NA
# [2,]          NA          NA          NA          NA         NA           NA
# [3,]          NA          NA          NA          NA         NA           NA
# [4,]          NA          NA          NA          NA         NA           NA
# [5,]          NA          NA          NA          NA         NA           NA
# [6,] 0.004369094 0.003112967 0.001064232 0.005035266  0.1577499  0.005063025
