+### Is QuanTAlib fast?
+
+Well, _no_, but actually *yes*. QuanTAlib works on an additive principle, meaning that even when served a full list of quotes, QuanTAlib will process them one item at the time, rolling forward throug the given time series of data.
+- If the last bar is still forming (parameter `update: true`), QuanTAlib can easily recalculates the last entry as often as needed without any need to recalculate the history.
+- If a new bar is added to the input, QuanTAlib will process that one item (default parameter `update: false`) and add that one result to the List. No recalculation of the history needed.
+
+So, if you test QuanTAlib with small set of 500 historical bars and calculate EMA(20) on it, the performance of QuanTAlib will be dead last compared to all other TA libraries.
+
+But when the system uses 10,000 or historical bars,  updates the current data at every new tick, and adds a new bar every minute, QuanTAlib has no rivals; all other libraries will need to re-calculate the full length of the indicator on each update/addition to the time series, while QuanTAlib will just update the last entry or add a single new value to the series. No back calculations are performed - ever. Longer the input data series and more updates/additions it gets, the greater  advantage there is for QuanTAlib.
+
+### Are results of QuanTAlib valid?
+
+QuanTAlib includes battery of tests to compare its results with four well-known and reviewed Technical Analysis libraries to assure accuracy and validity of results:
+
+- [TA-LIB](https://www.ta-lib.org/function.html)
+- [Skender Stock Indicators](https://dotnet.stockindicators.dev/)
+- [Pandas-TA](https://twopirllc.github.io/pandas-ta/)
+- [Tulip Indicators](https://tulipindicators.org/)
+
+Not all indicators are implemented by all libraries - and sometimes results of the four reference libraries disagree with each other. Indicators that return equivalent result set to **all four** libraries are marked with ⭐ on [the list of indicators](indicators.md) - these are indicators that can be trusted most. Each verified equivalency of results is marked with ✔️, and each discrepancy is marked with ❌.
+
+For each discrepancy the research was done to establish the reason and to select the implementation that is the most faithful to the original description of the indicator.
+
+_For example, CMO indicator was described by Tushar S. Chande in his book The New Technical Trader, where he includes the example of calculating 10-day CMO on a given data. QuanTAlib, Skender.NET and Tulip libraries can all replicate the results, while TA-LIB and Pandas-TA return something very different:_
