 HMA is computationally more intensive than a simple WMA due to the three passes, but our implementation optimizes the intermediate step.

+### Zero-Allocation Design
+
+HMA is implemented by chaining three `Wma` instances. Since `Wma` is zero-allocation, HMA inherits this property.
 
 ## Validation
 
-Validated against Alan Hull's original formula and standard library implementations.
+Validated against Skender, Tulip, and Ooples.

+
+### 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., $N=9, 20, 50$).
