# Trend Indicators Comparison
Scale 1–10 where **10 = better** for every column.
- Accuracy: preserves large-scale structure WITHOUT warping/projection artifacts
- Timeliness: low lag / fast response
- Overshoot Control: 10 = no overshoot / no ringing
- Smoothness: noise suppression / stability
| Indicator | Accuracy | Timeliness | Overshoot Control | Smoothness | Notes (revised) |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :--- |
| **ALMA** | 8 | 7 | 10 | 8 | Positive-weight FIR; accurate-ish but still a lag tradeoff. |
| **BESSEL** | 9 | 7 | 9 | 8 | Strong shape/phase preservation; step response is well-behaved. |
| **BILATERAL** | 7 | 6 | 10 | 8 | Edge-preserving; excellent in ranging markets, variable smoothing by design. |
| **DEMA** | 4 | 9 | 3 | 6 | Lag-canceling subtraction ⇒ structure distortion + overshoot risk. |
| **DWMA** | 7 | 2 | 10 | 10 | Ultra-smooth, but smears structure heavily (lag dominates). |
| **EMA** | 8 | 6 | 10 | 8 | Convex IIR (monotone) ⇒ faithful & stable, moderate lag. |
| **HMA** | 6 | 9 | 3 | 7 | Very fast but can ring/overshoot; “accurate” depends on regime. |
| **HTIT** | 7 | 8 | 6 | 8 | Trend extraction can be excellent but can distort around turns/cycles. |
| **JMA** | 8 | 9 | 9 | 9 | Great practical trend estimate; adaptive behavior can reshape structure. |
| **KAMA** | 8 | 8 | 10 | 8 | Variable-alpha EMA: stable, good structure, less lag in trends. |
| **LSMA** | 3 | 8 | 5 | 3 | Regression endpoint/projection: can deviate from true path + noisy. |
| **MAMA** | 6 | 9 | 6 | 3 | Phase-adaptive; fast but accuracy varies with cycle model fit. |
| **MGDI** | 7 | 7 | 10 | 9 | Stable “EMA-like” behavior; good smoothing, not especially fast. |
| **PWMA** | 6 | 7 | 10 | 6 | Positive weights (no overshoot) but can be twitchy vs noise. |
| **RMA** | 8 | 4 | 10 | 9 | Slower EMA ⇒ very stable + faithful, but laggier. |
| **SMA** | 7 | 3 | 10 | 6 | Baseline: faithful but slow; smoothness only moderate. |
| **SSF** | 9 | 8 | 8 | 9 | Excellent smoothing with relatively low lag; mild ringing possible. |
| **T3** | 7 | 8 | 5 | 10 | Extremely smooth; overshoot depends on tuning (can behave “too clever”). |
| **TEMA** | 3 | 10 | 3 | 6 | Near-zero lag feel, but structure distortion + overshoot common. |
| **TRIMA** | 7 | 2 | 10 | 10 | Very smooth FIR; structure preserved but delayed a lot. |
| **USF** | 9 | 9 | 8 | 9 | Low-lag smoother; very good overall, slight ringing possible. |
| **VIDYA** | 7 | 8 | 10 | 7 | Variable-alpha EMA: stable, responsive in trends, moderate smoothness. |
| **WMA** | 7 | 7 | 10 | 5 | Faster than SMA; less smooth; still faithful (positive weights). |
## Evaluation Criteria
### Accuracy (preserving large-scale structure)
Moving average should maintain the important underlying structure of price movements (like major trends and cycles) while filtering out all smaller fluctuations; it should faithfully represent the true price trajectory over longer timeframes.
### Timeliness (minimal lag)
Most moving averages lag behind price action - they indicate changes way after they've already happened. A good moving average minimizes this lag, responding quickly to genuine price movements without sacrificing other qualities, providing more actionable signals and earlier entries/exits.
### Minimal overshoot
Overshoot occurs when a highly reactive moving average extends beyond the actual price extremes, creating false impressions of price levels never reached. TEMA, DEMA and HMA are examples of overshooting moving averages; good moving average should avoid this distortion, particularly during price reversals, preventing false triggers when used with threshold-based systems.
### Smoothness (reduced noise)
A quality moving average filters out random price fluctuations (noise) that don't represent meaningful market activity, especially in steady non-volatile periods. This creates a clean, smooth line that clearly shows the underlying price direction without the jagged, erratic movements that could trigger false signals.

The Average Directional Index (ADX) is the industry-standard filter for trend strength. It ignores direction entirely, focusing solely on the velocity of price expansion. It allows systems to switch context: deploying trend-following logic when the market moves, and mean-reversion logic when it chops.
## The 1978 Standard
## Historical Context
J. Welles Wilder Jr. was a mechanical engineer, and it shows. Introduced in *New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems* (1978), the ADX is a machine built from moving parts. It doesn't just smooth price; it deconstructs range expansion, normalizes it against volatility, and then smooths the result twice.

### 1. Directional Movement (DM)

### 2. Smoothing (RMA)
Wilder's Moving Average (RMA) is an exponential moving average with $\alpha = 1/N$. The series $+DM$, $-DM$, and $TR$ (True Range) are smoothed using this operator.
$$
+DM_{smoothed} = RMA(+DM, N)
$$
$$
-DM_{smoothed} = RMA(-DM, N)
$$
$$
TR_{smoothed} = RMA(TR, N)
$$
$$ +DM_{smoothed} = RMA(+DM, N) $$
$$ -DM_{smoothed} = RMA(-DM, N) $$
$$ TR_{smoothed} = RMA(TR, N) $$
### 3. Directional Indicators (DI)
$$
+DI = 100 \times \frac{+DM_{smoothed}}{TR_{smoothed}}
$$
$$
-DI = 100 \times \frac{-DM_{smoothed}}{TR_{smoothed}}
$$
$$ +DI = 100 \times \frac{+DM_{smoothed}}{TR_{smoothed}} $$
$$ -DI = 100 \times \frac{-DM_{smoothed}}{TR_{smoothed}} $$
### 4. The Index (DX and ADX)
$$
DX = 100 \times \frac{|+DI - -DI|}{+DI + -DI}
$$
$$
ADX = RMA(DX, N)
$$
$$ DX = 100 \times \frac{|+DI - -DI|}{+DI + -DI} $$
$$ ADX = RMA(DX, N) $$
## Performance Profile
Throughput is optimized. The recursive nature of RMA allows for O(1) updates, but the initial calculation over a span requires O(N).
| Metric | Complexity | Notes |
### Zero-Allocation Design
The implementation uses `stackalloc` for internal buffers when processing spans, ensuring no heap allocations occur during the calculation. The hot path for streaming updates is purely scalar and allocation-free.

## Validation

Validation is performed against industry-standard libraries.
- **Convergence**: Matches TA-Lib to within `1e-9` after ~100 bars of warmup.
- **Edge Cases**: Handles `NaN` inputs by carrying forward the last valid state, preventing the "poisoning" of the recursive chain.
- **Drift**: Periodic re-summation is not required here as RMA is self-correcting over time, unlike simple accumulation.

### Common Pitfalls
- **Period Sensitivity**: The standard period is 14. Lowering it (e.g., 7) makes ADX twitchy and prone to false positives. Raising it (e.g., 30) turns it into a geological indicator—accurate, but late.
- **The "Turn"**: ADX peaks *after* the trend has exhausted. It is a lagging indicator of trend strength, not a leading indicator of price reversal.
- **Convergence**: Do not trust the first $2 \times N$ values. They are mathematically correct but statistically immature.

The Aroon indicator measures the temporal freshness of price extremes. Unlike oscillators that obsess over *how much* price has moved, Aroon asks *how long* it has been since a new high or low. It quantifies the "staleness" of a trend, providing an early warning system for consolidation and reversals.
## The 1995 Innovation
## Historical Context
Tushar Chande introduced Aroon in *Beyond Technical Analysis* (1995). The name comes from the Sanskrit word for "Dawn's Early Light." Chande's insight was that trends don't just stop; they age. By measuring the time elapsed since the last extreme, Aroon attempts to spot the "dawn" of a new trend rather than just confirming an existing one.

Introduced by Tushar Chande in *The New Technical Trader* (1995), the Aroon system was a departure from price-based momentum. It focused on *time*.

The Balance of Power (BOP) indicator measures the strength of buying and selling pressure by comparing the closing price to the opening price, relative to the high-low range. It oscillates between -1 and 1, providing a clear picture of market dominance.
## Historical Context
Developed by Igor Livshin and published in the August 2001 issue of *Stocks & Commodities* magazine, BOP was designed to expose the underlying action of price movement. Unlike trend-following indicators that lag, BOP is a momentum oscillator that can identify hidden accumulation or distribution patterns.
## Architecture & Physics
BOP is a stateless, zero-lag indicator in its raw form. It evaluates each bar independently, calculating the ratio of the body (Close - Open) to the range (High - Low).
- **Inertia**: None (raw).
- **Momentum**: Instantaneous.
- **Range**: Bounded [-1, 1].
### The Zero-Range Challenge
A key architectural challenge is handling bars where `High == Low`. In these cases, the range is zero, leading to a potential division by zero. QuanTAlib handles this by returning 0, indicating a neutral balance of power (no movement).
## Mathematical Foundation
The formula is deceptively simple:
$$ BOP = \frac{Close - Open}{High - Low} $$
Where:
- **Close > Open**: Positive BOP (Buyers dominate)
- **Close < Open**: Negative BOP (Sellers dominate)
- **Close = Open**: Zero BOP (Balance)
- **High = Low**: Zero BOP (No movement)
## Performance Profile
BOP is extremely lightweight, requiring minimal computation.
### Zero-Allocation Design
The implementation uses `stackalloc` and `Span<T>` where applicable, ensuring no heap allocations during the `Update` cycle. The `Calculate` method is fully vectorized using SIMD instructions (AVX2) when available, processing multiple bars in parallel.
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Throughput** | 1ns | O(1) per bar, SIMD-optimized. |
| **Allocations** | 0 | Zero allocations in the hot path. |
| **Complexity** | O(1) | Constant time per update. |
| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact mathematical calculation. |
| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Zero lag. |
| **Overshoot** | 0/10 | Bounded -1 to 1. |
| **Smoothness** | 0/10 | Raw signal, very noisy. |
## Validation
BOP is validated against major technical analysis libraries to ensure correctness.
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **TA-Lib** | ✅ | Matches `TA_BOP` exactly. |
| **Skender** | ✅ | Matches `GetBop`. |
| **Tulip** | ✅ | Matches `ti.bop`. |
| **Ooples** | ✅ | Matches `CalculateBalanceOfPower`. |
### Common Pitfalls
- **Noise**: The raw BOP is very volatile. It is often smoothed with a Moving Average (e.g., SMA-14) to identify trends. QuanTAlib provides the raw signal, allowing you to chain any smoothing algorithm you prefer.
- **Doji Candles**: When Open equals Close, BOP is 0. This is mathematically correct but can be interpreted as a lack of momentum.
## Usage
```csharp
using QuanTAlib;
// 1. Streaming (Real-time)
var bop = new Bop();
TValue result = bop.Update(new TBar(time, open, high, low, close, volume));
Console.WriteLine($"BOP: {result.Value}");
// 2. Batch (Historical)
var bars = new TBarSeries(...);
var bopSeries = Bop.Batch(bars);
// 3. Chaining (Smoothing)
var smoothedBop = new Sma(14);
var bop = new Bop();
// ... inside loop ...
var raw = bop.Update(bar);
var smooth = smoothedBop.Update(raw);

Most indicators assume a fixed period (e.g., RSI-14). CFB rejects this rigidity. It scans a massive array of lookback periods simultaneously (by default, from 2 to 192 bars) to find which timeframes are exhibiting efficient trending behavior. It then composites these valid timeframes into a single index representing the current trend's maturity.

The DMX is Mark Jurik's ultra-smooth, low-lag overhaul of the classic Directional Movement system. It replaces Wilder's sluggish smoothing algorithms with the Jurik Moving Average (JMA), resulting in a directional indicator that reacts faster to trend changes while filtering out more noise.
## The Jurik Upgrade
## Historical Context
Wilder's original ADX/DMI system is legendary but mathematically primitive; it relies on simple recursive smoothing (RMA) that introduces significant lag. DMX retains the core logic of directional movement ($DM+$ and $DM-$) but upgrades the engine that processes them. By using JMA, DMX achieves the "holy grail" of signal processing: smoothness without lag.

# MACD: Moving Average Convergence Divergence
> "The trend is your friend, until it bends." — Ed Seykota
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security's price. Developed by Gerald Appel in the late 1970s, it is one of the most popular and versatile indicators in technical analysis.
## Historical Context
Gerald Appel created the MACD to reveal changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price. It combines the lagging features of moving averages with the leading characteristics of momentum oscillators.
## Architecture & Physics
MACD is composed of three components:
1. **MACD Line**: The difference between a fast EMA and a slow EMA.
2. **Signal Line**: An EMA of the MACD Line.
3. **Histogram**: The difference between the MACD Line and the Signal Line.
- **Inertia**: Moderate (dependent on EMA periods).
- **Momentum**: Tracks the convergence/divergence of trends.
- **Range**: Unbounded.
## Mathematical Foundation
$$ \text{MACD Line} = \text{EMA}_{\text{fast}}(Close) - \text{EMA}_{\text{slow}}(Close) $$
$$ \text{Signal Line} = \text{EMA}_{\text{signal}}(\text{MACD Line}) $$
$$ \text{Histogram} = \text{MACD Line} - \text{Signal Line} $$
Standard parameters are (12, 26, 9):
- Fast EMA: 12 periods
- Slow EMA: 26 periods
- Signal EMA: 9 periods
## Performance Profile
MACD relies on efficient EMA calculations.
### Zero-Allocation Design
The implementation uses three internal `Ema` instances. The `Update` method orchestrates the flow of data between them without creating intermediate objects on the heap.
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Throughput** | 26 ns/bar | High performance due to simple EMA calculations. |
| **Allocations** | 0 | Zero heap allocations in hot path. |
| **Complexity** | O(1) | Constant time update per bar. |
| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Matches external standards exactly. |
| **Timeliness** | 8/10 | Lag is inherent to the moving averages used. |
| **Overshoot** | 5/10 | Can overshoot during strong trends. |
| **Smoothness** | 9/10 | Very smooth due to double smoothing (EMA of EMA). |
## Validation
Validated against multiple external libraries to ensure correctness.
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **QuanTAlib** | ✅ | Validated. |
| **TA-Lib** | ✅ | Matches `TA_MACD` exactly. |
| **Skender** | ✅ | Matches `GetMacd` exactly. |
| **Tulip** | ✅ | Matches `macd` exactly. |
| **Ooples** | ✅ | Matches `CalculateMovingAverageConvergenceDivergence`. |
### Common Pitfalls
- **Lag**: As a trend-following indicator based on moving averages, MACD lags price action.
- **Whipsaws**: In sideways markets, MACD can generate false signals (whipsaws) as the moving averages cross frequently.

# RSI: Relative Strength Index
> "Momentum is the premier anomaly." — Eugene Fama (probably, if he traded crypto)
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is the granddaddy of momentum oscillators. Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. in 1978, it measures the speed and change of price movements. It oscillates between 0 and 100, identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
## Historical Context
Introduced in Wilder's seminal book *New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems*, RSI was designed to solve the problem of erratic movement in other momentum indicators. By normalizing gains and losses, Wilder created a bounded oscillator that remains relevant in every asset class from corn futures to Dogecoin.
## Architecture & Physics
RSI is built on the concept of "Average Gain" and "Average Loss". Crucially, Wilder used a smoothing method (now known as RMA or Wilder's Smoothing) rather than a simple moving average. This gives RSI a long memory—technically infinite, though the influence decays exponentially.
- **Inertia**: High (due to RMA smoothing).
- **Momentum**: Tracks price velocity.
- **Range**: Bounded [0, 100].
### The Smoothing Nuance
Many modern implementations incorrectly use SMA or EMA for the averages. QuanTAlib strictly adheres to Wilder's original RMA formula:
`NewAverage = (PreviousAverage * (Period - 1) + Current) / Period`
## Mathematical Foundation
$$ RS = \frac{\text{Average Gain}}{\text{Average Loss}} $$
$$ RSI = 100 - \frac{100}{1 + RS} $$
Where:
- **Gain**: $Close_{t} - Close_{t-1}$ (if positive, else 0)
- **Loss**: $Close_{t-1} - Close_{t}$ (if positive, else 0)
- **Average**: Smoothed using RMA (Wilder's Smoothing).
## Performance Profile
RSI requires state maintenance for the average gain and loss.
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Throughput** | 18 ns/bar | High performance due to simple RMA calculations. |
| **Allocations** | 0 | Zero heap allocations in hot path. |
| **Complexity** | O(1) | Constant time update per bar. |
| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Matches Wilder's definition exactly. |
| **Timeliness** | 9/10 | Very responsive to recent price changes. |
| **Overshoot** | 0/10 | Bounded [0, 100], cannot overshoot. |
| **Smoothness** | 8/10 | Smoothed via RMA, but retains volatility. |
### Zero-Allocation Design
The implementation uses a custom `Rma` logic internally to avoid creating separate indicator instances, keeping the memory footprint minimal.
## Validation
Validated against multiple external libraries to ensure correctness.

| **Skender** | ✅ | Matches `GetRsi` exactly. |
| **Tulip** | ✅ | Matches `rsi` exactly. |
| **Ooples** | ✅ | Matches `CalculateRelativeStrengthIndex`. |
### Common Pitfalls
- **Initialization**: RSI requires a warmup period. The first value is typically an SMA of the initial gains/losses, followed by the RMA calculation. QuanTAlib handles this transition seamlessly.
- **Data Length**: Because of the RMA's infinite memory, RSI values can vary slightly depending on the amount of historical data provided. This is a feature, not a bug.
## Usage
```csharp
using QuanTAlib;
// 1. Streaming (Real-time)
var rsi = new Rsi(14);
TValue result = rsi.Update(new TValue(time, price));
Console.WriteLine($"RSI: {result.Value}");
// 2. Batch (Historical)
var series = new TSeries(...);
var rsiSeries = Rsi.Batch(series, 14);
// 3. Span (High-Performance)
double[] prices = ...;
double[] results = new double[prices.Length];
Rsi.Calculate(prices, results, 14);

### Zero-Allocation Design

var bessel = new Bessel(length: 14);
foreach (var bar in bars)

TValue result = bessel.Update(value, isNew: true);

double[] src = /* prices */;
double[] dst = new double[src.Length];
Bessel.Calculate(src.AsSpan(), dst.AsSpan(), length: 14);
```
All three modes (streaming, `TSeries`, `Span`) are tested to produce numerically consistent results.
The filter maintains its state in a small set of scalar variables (`_prev1`, `_prev2`, `_lastValidValue`). No arrays or buffers are allocated during the `Update` cycle.

- `TSeries` vs Span API:
- Same GBM-based dataset, multiple lengths (5, 14, 20, 50).
- Last $N$ outputs compared with tolerance $10^{-9}$.
- Warmup and hot-state behavior verified via unit tests:
- `IsHot` flips after `Length` bars.
- `isNew=true/false` behaves as expected for bar corrections.
- Robustness:
- Inputs with `NaN`, `+∞`, `-∞` are forced to last valid value.
- Streaming and batch APIs remain finite and stable.

### Common Pitfalls
## Common Pitfalls
- **Expecting razor-sharp cutoff:**
Bessel is **not** a Chebyshev or elliptic filter. Roll-off is gentler by design to preserve shape and timing. If you want violent attenuation of high-frequency noise, pick Butterworth, Chebyshev, or a band-pass.
- **Over-smoothing with large length:**
Very large $L$ values will still preserve shape, but you will delay turning points more than necessary. Typical sweet spot for daily data is $L \in [10, 30]$.
- **Misinterpreting flat response as “weak” filter:**
The goal is not to crush all noise. The goal is to keep enough structure that pattern recognition, divergence analysis, and multi-stream alignment still make sense.
- **Ignoring NaN propagation:**
If your upstream feed throws `NaN` or infinities and you do not clean it, BESSEL will fall back to the last valid value. This is intentional. If you want gaps instead, preprocess the series and pass explicit masked values.

# Bilateral Filter
> "Smoothing without blurring edges? It's not magic, it's just math."
The Bilateral Filter is a non-linear, edge-preserving, and noise-reducing smoothing filter. Unlike standard Gaussian filters that blur everything indiscriminately, the Bilateral Filter respects strong edges by weighting pixels based on both their spatial distance and their intensity difference (range).
## Historical Context
Originally developed for image processing by Tomasi and Manduchi (1998), the Bilateral Filter revolutionized denoising by solving the "blurring edges" problem inherent in linear filters. In financial time series, it serves a similar purpose: smoothing out noise (small fluctuations) while preserving significant price changes (edges/trends).
## Architecture & Physics
The filter operates in two domains simultaneously:
1. **Spatial Domain**: Weights decrease as distance from the current bar increases (like a Gaussian filter).
2. **Range Domain**: Weights decrease as the price difference from the current price increases.
This dual-weighting mechanism ensures that:
- Nearby prices with similar values have high influence (smoothing).
- Distant prices or prices with very different values have low influence (edge preservation).
### Complexity
The algorithm is $O(N)$ per update, where $N$ is the period length. While slower than $O(1)$ recursive filters (like EMA), it offers superior signal fidelity.
## Mathematical Foundation
The Bilateral Filter value at index $0$ (current) is calculated as:
$$ BF = \frac{\sum_{i=0}^{L-1} W_s(i) \cdot W_r(i) \cdot P_i}{\sum_{i=0}^{L-1} W_s(i) \cdot W_r(i)} $$
Where:
- $L$ is the length (period).
- $P_i$ is the price at index $i$ (0 is current).
- $W_s(i)$ is the spatial weight:
$$ W_s(i) = \exp\left(-\frac{i^2}{2\sigma_s^2}\right) $$
- $W_r(i)$ is the range weight:
$$ W_r(i) = \exp\left(-\frac{(P_0 - P_i)^2}{2\sigma_r^2}\right) $$
Parameters:
- $\sigma_s = \max(L \cdot \text{ratio}, 10^{-10})$
- $\sigma_r = \max(\text{StDev}(P, L) \cdot \text{mult}, 10^{-10})$
## Performance Profile
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Throughput** | ~50ns/bar | O(N) complexity. |
| **Allocations** | 0 | Zero-allocation hot path. |
| **Complexity** | O(N) | N = Period. Requires full window iteration per update. |
| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Matches reference implementation. |
| **Timeliness** | 8/10 | Low lag due to edge preservation. |
| **Smoothness** | 9/10 | Excellent noise reduction. |
### Zero-Allocation Design
The implementation uses a `RingBuffer` with pinned memory and `stackalloc` (conceptually, though implemented via direct span access) to ensure zero heap allocations during the `Update` cycle. Spatial weights are pre-calculated.
## Validation
Validated against a reference implementation mirroring the PineScript logic.
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **PineScript** | ✅ | Logic matches exactly. |
| **Reference** | ✅ | Validated against C# reference. |
## Usage
```csharp
using QuanTAlib;
// Create a Bilateral filter with period 14
var bilateral = new Bilateral(14, sigmaSRatio: 0.5, sigmaRMult: 1.0);
// Update with new price
var result = bilateral.Update(new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 100.0));
Console.WriteLine($"Bilateral: {result.Value}");

### Zero-Allocation Design
HMA is implemented by chaining three `Wma` instances. Since `Wma` is zero-allocation, HMA inherits this property.

### External Library Discrepancies
**OoplesFinance.StockIndicators**:
Discrepancies exist due to different rounding methods for integer periods.
* **QuanTAlib**: Uses integer truncation (floor) for $N/2$ and $\sqrt{N}$.
* **Ooples**: Uses `Math.Round` (nearest integer).
This results in different effective periods for $N=14$ ($\sqrt{14} \approx 3.74 \to 3$ vs $4$) and others where the fractional part $\ge 0.5$. Validation tests match exactly for periods where rounding logic aligns (e.g., $N=9, 20, 50$).
