+# ACCEL: Second Derivative (Acceleration)
+
+> "Velocity tells you where you're going. Acceleration tells you if you're getting there faster or slower."
+
+ACCEL measures the rate of change of velocity—the acceleration of a time series. As the second derivative, it reveals momentum shifts before they manifest in price direction. Positive acceleration means velocity is increasing (trend strengthening); negative means velocity is decreasing (trend weakening). This O(1) streaming implementation uses FMA optimization and SIMD batch processing.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+The second derivative appears throughout physics (Newton's F=ma) and signal processing. In financial markets, acceleration precedes velocity, which precedes price. A stock can be rising (positive slope) but decelerating (negative accel)—an early warning of trend exhaustion.
+
+Traders have long recognized this pattern: "the trend is slowing down." ACCEL quantifies that intuition precisely. When price makes higher highs but acceleration turns negative, the rally is losing steam. When price makes lower lows but acceleration turns positive, the selloff is exhausting.
+
+QuanTAlib implements ACCEL as the discrete second difference with FMA optimization, SIMD batch processing, and full bar correction support.
+
+## Architecture & Physics
+
+ACCEL computes the second finite difference with three-point history:
+
+### 1. Second Difference Operation
+
+The fundamental operation:
+
+$$
+A_t = V_t - 2V_{t-1} + V_{t-2}
+$$
+
+This is algebraically equivalent to:
+
+$$
+A_t = (V_t - V_{t-1}) - (V_{t-1} - V_{t-2}) = S_t - S_{t-1}
+$$
+
+where $S$ is the first derivative (slope).
+
+### 2. FMA Optimization
+
+The formula $V_t - 2V_{t-1} + V_{t-2}$ is computed using Fused Multiply-Add:
+
+$$
+A_t = \text{FMA}(-2, V_{t-1}, V_t + V_{t-2})
+$$
+
+This reduces rounding error and may execute in a single CPU cycle on modern hardware.
+
+### 3. State Management
+
+State consists of:
+- `Prev1`: The previous input value $V_{t-1}$
+- `Prev2`: The value before that $V_{t-2}$
+- `LastValidValue`: Last known finite value for NaN/Infinity substitution
+- `Count`: Number of values processed (0, 1, 2, or 3+)
+
+The indicator becomes "hot" (fully warmed up) after 3 values.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Discrete Second Derivative
+
+For a time series $V$:
+
+$$
+A_t = \frac{d^2V}{dt^2} \approx V_t - 2V_{t-1} + V_{t-2}
+$$
+
+This is the central difference approximation of the second derivative.
+
+### Interpretation
+
+| Acceleration Value | Slope Value | Meaning |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| $A > 0$ | $S > 0$ | Rising and accelerating (strong uptrend) |
+| $A < 0$ | $S > 0$ | Rising but decelerating (weakening uptrend) |
+| $A > 0$ | $S < 0$ | Falling but decelerating (weakening downtrend) |
+| $A < 0$ | $S < 0$ | Falling and accelerating (strong downtrend) |
+| $A = 0$ | any | Constant velocity (linear trend) |
+
+### Inflection Points
+
+Acceleration zero-crossings indicate inflection points—where the trend changes character:
+
+$$
+A_t > 0 \text{ and } A_{t-1} < 0 \implies \text{Concave-up inflection (potential bottom)}
+$$
+
+$$
+A_t < 0 \text{ and } A_{t-1} > 0 \implies \text{Concave-down inflection (potential top)}
+$$
+
+### Derivative Chain
+
+ACCEL is the middle link:
+
+$$
+\text{Slope}_t = V_t - V_{t-1}
+$$
+
+$$
+\text{Accel}_t = \text{Slope}_t - \text{Slope}_{t-1} = V_t - 2V_{t-1} + V_{t-2}
+$$
+
+$$
+\text{Jolt}_t = \text{Accel}_t - \text{Accel}_{t-1}
+$$
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar)
+
+| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| FMA | 1 | 4 | 4 |
+| ADD | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+| MOV (state update) | 3 | 1 | 3 |
+| CMP (IsFinite check) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+| **Total** | **6** | — | **~9 cycles** |
+
+### Batch Mode (512 values, SIMD)
+
+| Architecture | Vector Width | Elements/Op | Total Ops (512 values) |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| AVX-512 | 512 bits | 8 doubles | 64 |
+| AVX | 256 bits | 4 doubles | 128 |
+| ARM64 Neon | 128 bits | 2 doubles | 256 |
+| Scalar | 64 bits | 1 double | 512 |
+
+**Batch efficiency (512 bars):**
+
+| Mode | Cycles/bar | Total (512 bars) | Speedup |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| Scalar streaming | 9 | 4,608 | 1× |
+| AVX-512 SIMD | 1.1 | 563 | 8× |
+| AVX SIMD | 2.3 | 1,178 | 4× |
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact finite difference |
+| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Zero lag (instantaneous) |
+| **Smoothness** | 2/10 | Amplifies noise significantly |
+| **Computational Cost** | 10/10 | Single FMA + bookkeeping |
+| **Memory** | 10/10 | ~64 bytes state |
+
+## Validation
+
+ACCEL is a fundamental operation. Validation confirms exact match with manual calculation.
+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not implemented directly |
+| **Skender** | N/A | Not implemented directly |
+| **Manual Calculation** | ✅ | Exact match |
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Extreme Noise Sensitivity**: Second derivatives amplify noise quadratically. A 1% random wiggle in price becomes a massive acceleration spike. Pre-smooth the input (EMA, SMA) before computing ACCEL for noisy data.
+
+2. **Scale Dependency**: ACCEL output scales with input magnitude squared. A $100 stock has 10,000× larger accelerations than a $1 stock. Normalize if comparing across instruments.
+
+3. **Warmup Period**: ACCEL requires 3 values to produce meaningful output. The first two outputs are always 0.
+
+4. **Sign Interpretation**: Positive acceleration doesn't mean "going up"—it means "velocity increasing." A falling stock with positive acceleration is falling more slowly.
+
+5. **Lagging Confirmation**: By the time acceleration confirms a trend change, much of the move may be over. Use acceleration for early warning, not entry confirmation.
+
+6. **Using isNew Incorrectly**: When processing live ticks within the same bar, use `Update(value, isNew: false)`. When a new bar opens, use `isNew: true` (default).
+
+7. **Memory Footprint**: ~64 bytes per instance. Negligible for most use cases.

+# CHANGE: Relative Price Change
+
+> "The simplest measure of movement is often the most powerful."
+
+CHANGE calculates the percentage change between the current value and a value N periods ago. This fundamental indicator forms the basis for momentum analysis, rate of change calculations, and relative performance comparisons.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+The change calculation is straightforward:
+
+$$
+\text{Change}_t = \frac{P_t - P_{t-n}}{P_{t-n}}
+$$
+
+where:
+- $P_t$ = current price
+- $P_{t-n}$ = price N periods ago
+- Result is expressed as a decimal (multiply by 100 for percentage)
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- **Division by zero**: When $P_{t-n} = 0$, returns 0
+- **NaN/Infinity inputs**: Uses last valid value substitution
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Per Bar)
+
+| Operation | Count | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| Subtraction | 1 | Current - Past |
+| Division | 1 | Conditional on past ≠ 0 |
+| Buffer access | 1 | Ring buffer lookup |
+| **Total** | **~3** | O(1) constant time |
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact mathematical calculation |
+| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | No lag beyond lookback period |
+| **Smoothness** | 3/10 | Raw returns are noisy |
+| **Memory** | 9/10 | Only stores period+1 values |
+
+## Validation
+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **TA-Lib** | ✅ | ROC function (divide by 100) |
+| **Skender** | ✅ | Roc indicator |
+| **Manual** | ✅ | Direct calculation verified |
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Percentage vs Decimal**: QuanTAlib returns decimal (0.1 = 10%), while TA-Lib ROC returns percentage (10.0 = 10%). Multiply by 100 when comparing.
+
+2. **Warmup Period**: Requires `period + 1` bars before producing meaningful results. First `period` values return 0.
+
+3. **Zero Division**: When the past value is zero, returns 0 rather than NaN/Infinity.
+
+4. **Compounding**: For multi-period returns, geometric compounding may be more appropriate than simple arithmetic change.
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+```csharp
+// Period-1 change (simple return)
+var change = new Change(1);
+
+// 10-period momentum
+var momentum = new Change(10);
+
+// Chained from another indicator
+var smaChange = new Change(new Sma(20), 5);
+```

+# EXPTRANS: Exponential Function
+
+> "The exponential function is the only function that is its own derivative—a mathematical curiosity that makes it indispensable for modeling growth, decay, and everything compounding."
+
+The Exponential (EXP) transformer applies the natural exponential function $e^x$ to each value in a time series. As the inverse of the natural logarithm, it converts additive relationships back to multiplicative ones, making it essential for reconstructing price levels from log-returns and implementing models that assume log-normal distributions.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Core Formula
+
+$$
+\text{EXP}_t = e^{x_t}
+$$
+
+where:
+- $x_t$ is the input value at time $t$
+- $e \approx 2.71828...$ is Euler's number
+
+### Key Properties
+
+| Property | Formula | Description |
+|:---------|:--------|:------------|
+| **Inverse of Log** | $e^{\ln(x)} = x$ | Undoes natural logarithm |
+| **Product Rule** | $e^{a+b} = e^a \cdot e^b$ | Additive inputs → multiplicative outputs |
+| **Quotient Rule** | $e^{a-b} = e^a / e^b$ | Differences → ratios |
+| **Power Rule** | $e^{n \cdot x} = (e^x)^n$ | Scaling in exponent → power |
+| **Identity** | $e^0 = 1$ | Zero maps to unity |
+| **Base Value** | $e^1 = e \approx 2.71828$ | Unit exponent gives $e$ |
+
+### Domain and Range
+
+| | Value |
+|:--|:--|
+| **Domain** | $(-\infty, +\infty)$ |
+| **Range** | $(0, +\infty)$ |
+
+The exponential function accepts any real number but always produces strictly positive outputs.
+
+## Financial Applications
+
+### Log-Return to Price Reconstruction
+
+Given cumulative log-returns, reconstruct price levels:
+
+$$
+P_t = P_0 \cdot e^{\sum_{i=1}^{t} r_i}
+$$
+
+where $r_i$ are log-returns.
+
+### Volatility Scaling
+
+Convert log-volatility to multiplicative factors:
+
+$$
+\text{VolFactor} = e^{\sigma \sqrt{T}}
+$$
+
+### Compound Growth
+
+Model continuous compounding:
+
+$$
+A = P \cdot e^{rt}
+$$
+
+where $r$ is the continuous rate and $t$ is time.
+
+### Option Pricing
+
+The exponential appears throughout Black-Scholes:
+
+$$
+C = S \cdot N(d_1) - K \cdot e^{-rT} \cdot N(d_2)
+$$
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Overflow Handling
+
+For large positive inputs, $e^x$ can overflow to infinity:
+- $e^{709}$ ≈ $8.2 \times 10^{307}$ (near double max)
+- $e^{710}$ → overflow
+
+The implementation substitutes the last valid value when overflow occurs.
+
+### Precision Considerations
+
+| Input Range | Relative Precision |
+|:------------|:-------------------|
+| $|x| < 1$ | Full 15-16 digits |
+| $|x| < 20$ | Full precision |
+| $|x| > 700$ | Overflow risk |
+
+### Streaming Characteristics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|:-------|:------|
+| **Warmup Period** | 0 |
+| **Memory** | O(1) |
+| **Complexity** | O(1) per update |
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Scalar)
+
+| Operation | Count | Notes |
+|:----------|:-----:|:------|
+| EXP | 1 | Hardware instruction |
+| **Total** | ~20 cycles | Platform dependent |
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+|:-------|:-----:|:------|
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | IEEE 754 compliant |
+| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Zero lag |
+| **Smoothness** | N/A | Transform preserves input characteristics |
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```csharp
+// Create EXP transformer
+var exp = new Exptrans();
+
+// Transform log-returns back to growth factors
+var logReturn = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 0.05);
+var growthFactor = exp.Update(logReturn);  // ≈ 1.0513
+```
+
+### Reconstructing Prices from Log-Returns
+
+```csharp
+var logReturns = new TSeries();
+// ... populate with cumulative log-returns
+
+var cumulativeExp = new Exptrans();
+var priceRatios = cumulativeExp.Update(logReturns);
+
+// Multiply by initial price to get price levels
+var initialPrice = 100.0;
+var prices = priceRatios.Select(v => v * initialPrice);
+```
+
+### Undoing Log Transform
+
+```csharp
+var log = new Logtrans();
+var exp = new Exptrans();
+
+// Round-trip: price → log → exp → price
+var price = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 150.0);
+var logPrice = log.Update(price);     // ≈ 5.0106
+var recovered = exp.Update(logPrice); // ≈ 150.0
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Overflow Risk**: Input values above ~709 cause overflow. Monitor input ranges when working with cumulative sums.
+
+2. **Magnitude Explosion**: Small additive changes in the exponent create large multiplicative changes in output. A change of 1.0 in the exponent multiplies the output by $e$ ≈ 2.72.
+
+3. **Inverse Relationship**: EXP undoes LOG, but only if the original values were positive. Negative prices cannot be recovered through log-exp round-trip.
+
+4. **Scale Sensitivity**: Unlike LOG which compresses ranges, EXP expands them dramatically. Ensure downstream consumers can handle the output magnitudes.
+
+## Validation
+
+| Test | Status |

+| **Math.Exp Parity** | ✅ |
+| **Known Values (e⁰=1, e¹=e)** | ✅ |
+| **Inverse of Log** | ✅ |
+| **Product Rule** | ✅ |
+| **Quotient Rule** | ✅ |

+# HIGHEST: Rolling Maximum
+
+> "What's the peak? The answer to that question defines support, resistance, and breakout levels."
+
+HIGHEST calculates the maximum value over a rolling lookback window. This O(1) amortized streaming implementation uses a monotonic deque algorithm, enabling real-time updates without re-scanning the entire window. Validated against TA-Lib MAX and Tulip max functions.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+Rolling maximum is a foundational concept in technical analysis, underpinning Donchian Channels, breakout detection, and trailing stop calculations. The naive approach scans all values in the window on each update—O(n) per bar. For a 200-period window processing 10,000 bars, that's 2 million comparisons.
+
+The monotonic deque algorithm reduces this to O(1) amortized time by maintaining a decreasing sequence of candidates. Only values that could potentially be the maximum are kept; smaller values that can never become maximum (because they'll expire before the larger values) are discarded.
+
+QuanTAlib implements this optimal algorithm with full streaming support, SIMD batch optimization, and proper state management for bar corrections.
+
+## Architecture & Physics
+
+### 1. Monotonic Deque
+
+The core data structure is a deque maintaining indices of values in monotonically decreasing order:
+
+$$
+\text{deque} = [i_1, i_2, \ldots, i_k] \quad \text{where} \quad V_{i_1} \geq V_{i_2} \geq \cdots \geq V_{i_k}
+$$
+
+The front of the deque always holds the index of the maximum value in the current window.
+
+### 2. Update Algorithm
+
+On each new value $V_t$:
+
+1. **Remove expired**: Pop indices from front if `index <= t - period`
+2. **Maintain monotonicity**: Pop indices from back while `V[back] <= V_t`
+3. **Add new**: Push current index $t$ to back
+4. **Result**: Front of deque is the maximum's index
+
+```
+Window: [3, 7, 2, 5, 4]  Period: 5
+Deque:  [1]              // Index 1 holds 7 (max)
+        
+Add 6 at index 5:
+Deque:  [1, 5]           // 7 > 6, keep both
+        
+Add 9 at index 6:
+Deque:  [6]              // 9 > 7 > 6, 9 dominates all
+```
+
+### 3. Bar Correction via Rollback
+
+When `isNew=false`, the indicator:
+1. Restores previous state (`_state = _p_state`)
+2. Replaces the last value in the buffer
+3. Rebuilds the deque by scanning the buffer
+
+This maintains correctness for real-time bar updates.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Rolling Maximum Definition
+
+$$
+\text{Highest}_t = \max(V_{t-n+1}, V_{t-n+2}, \ldots, V_t)
+$$
+
+where $n$ is the lookback period.
+
+### Partial Window Behavior
+
+Before the window is full:
+
+$$
+\text{Highest}_t = \max(V_0, V_1, \ldots, V_t) \quad \text{for } t < n
+$$
+
+### Complexity Analysis
+
+| Operation | Naive | Monotonic Deque |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: |
+| Per-update (worst) | O(n) | O(n) |
+| Per-update (amortized) | O(n) | O(1) |
+| Total for N updates | O(N×n) | O(N) |
+
+Each element is pushed and popped from the deque at most once across all operations.
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Amortized)
+
+| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| CMP (expired check) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+| CMP (monotonicity) | ~2 avg | 1 | 2 |
+| Array access | 3 | 3 | 9 |
+| Index arithmetic | 2 | 1 | 2 |
+| **Total** | **~8** | — | **~14 cycles** |
+
+### Batch Mode (SIMD)
+
+For batch processing, SIMD can parallelize comparisons within segments. However, the monotonic deque's sequential nature limits full vectorization. The span-based Calculate method uses a stackalloc deque buffer for cache efficiency.
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact maximum |
+| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Zero lag for maxima |
+| **Smoothness** | 2/10 | Step changes at window boundaries |
+| **Computational Cost** | 9/10 | O(1) amortized |
+| **Memory** | 7/10 | O(n) for buffer + deque |
+
+## Validation
+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **TA-Lib MAX** | ✅ | Exact match |
+| **Tulip max** | ✅ | Exact match |
+| **Known Values** | ✅ | Manual verification |
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Window Boundary Effects**: Maximum changes abruptly when the previous max expires from the window. This creates step changes in the output.
+
+2. **Warmup Period**: `IsHot` becomes true after `period` values. Before warmup, returns maximum of available data.
+
+3. **Memory Footprint**: O(n) memory for both the ring buffer and deque indices. For period=200: ~3.2KB (200 doubles + 200 ints).
+
+4. **Deque Rebuild on Correction**: When `isNew=false`, the entire deque is rebuilt by scanning the buffer. Frequent corrections are O(n) each.
+
+5. **Large Periods**: For very large periods (>1000), consider segment trees or sparse tables if corrections are rare. The deque approach optimizes for the streaming case.
+
+6. **Using isNew Incorrectly**: Use `isNew: false` only when correcting the current bar. New bars must use `isNew: true`.

+/// JERK: Third Derivative (Rate of Acceleration Change)
+/// Measures how fast the acceleration is changing - the "jerk" in physics terms.
+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+/// The third derivative approximates jerk: the rate of change of acceleration.
+///
+/// Formula:
+/// Jerk_t = Accel_t - Accel_{t-1}
+///        = (Value_t - 2*Value_{t-1} + Value_{t-2}) - (Value_{t-1} - 2*Value_{t-2} + Value_{t-3})
+///        = Value_t - 3*Value_{t-1} + 3*Value_{t-2} - Value_{t-3}
+///
+/// Key properties:
+/// - O(1) streaming complexity
+/// - Zero allocations in hot path
+/// - SIMD-optimized batch calculation

+# JERK: Third Derivative
+
+> "Acceleration tells you the trend is changing. Jerk tells you that change is itself changing—the earliest possible warning."
+
+JERK measures the rate of change of acceleration—called "jerk" in physics. As the third derivative, it detects changes in momentum dynamics before they appear in acceleration, velocity, or price. A positive jerk means acceleration is increasing; negative means acceleration is decreasing. This O(1) streaming implementation uses dual FMA optimization and SIMD batch processing for four-point calculations.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+The third derivative (jerk) appears in mechanical engineering, robotics, and ride comfort analysis. Roller coasters are designed to minimize jerk; elevators smooth their motion to reduce it. In financial markets, jerk reveals sudden shifts in how fast the trend is accelerating or decelerating.
+
+While first and second derivatives see wide use in technical analysis (momentum, ROC, acceleration indicators), the third derivative remains underutilized. This is partly computational—four consecutive points are needed—and partly interpretive: jerk is abstract. Yet it provides the earliest mathematical signal of trend character change.
+
+Consider: price is rising, acceleration is positive (strong uptrend). If jerk turns negative, acceleration will soon decrease, then velocity will peak, then price will top. Jerk leads the entire sequence.
+
+QuanTAlib implements JERK as the discrete third difference with dual FMA optimization, SIMD batch processing, and full bar correction support.
+
+## Architecture & Physics
+
+JERK computes the third finite difference with four-point history:
+
+### 1. Third Difference Operation
+
+The fundamental operation:
+
+$$
+J_t = V_t - 3V_{t-1} + 3V_{t-2} - V_{t-3}
+$$
+
+This is algebraically equivalent to:
+
+$$
+J_t = A_t - A_{t-1}
+$$
+
+where $A$ is the second derivative (acceleration).
+
+### 2. Dual FMA Optimization
+
+The formula uses two Fused Multiply-Add operations:
+
+$$
+\text{term}_1 = \text{FMA}(-3, V_{t-1}, V_t)
+$$
+
+$$
+\text{term}_2 = \text{FMA}(3, V_{t-2}, -V_{t-3})
+$$
+
+$$
+J_t = \text{term}_1 + \text{term}_2
+$$
+
+This structure reduces rounding error and leverages pipelined FMA units on modern CPUs.
+
+### 3. State Management
+
+State consists of:
+- `Prev1`: The previous input value $V_{t-1}$
+- `Prev2`: The value before that $V_{t-2}$
+- `Prev3`: The value before that $V_{t-3}$
+- `LastValidValue`: Last known finite value for NaN/Infinity substitution
+- `Count`: Number of values processed (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4+)
+
+The indicator becomes "hot" (fully warmed up) after 4 values.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Discrete Third Derivative
+
+For a time series $V$:
+
+$$
+J_t = \frac{d^3V}{dt^3} \approx V_t - 3V_{t-1} + 3V_{t-2} - V_{t-3}
+$$
+
+This is the forward difference approximation of the third derivative.
+
+### Binomial Coefficients
+
+The coefficients $(1, -3, 3, -1)$ are the alternating binomial coefficients for $n=3$:
+
+$$
+\binom{3}{0} = 1, \quad -\binom{3}{1} = -3, \quad \binom{3}{2} = 3, \quad -\binom{3}{3} = -1
+$$
+
+### Derivative Chain
+
+JERK completes the derivative hierarchy:
+
+$$
+\text{Slope}_t = V_t - V_{t-1}
+$$
+
+$$
+\text{Accel}_t = V_t - 2V_{t-1} + V_{t-2}
+$$
+
+$$
+\text{Jerk}_t = V_t - 3V_{t-1} + 3V_{t-2} - V_{t-3}
+$$
+
+### Interpretation Matrix
+
+| Jerk | Accel | Slope | Meaning |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| $J > 0$ | $A > 0$ | $S > 0$ | Uptrend strengthening at increasing rate |
+| $J < 0$ | $A > 0$ | $S > 0$ | Uptrend strengthening but rate slowing |
+| $J > 0$ | $A < 0$ | $S > 0$ | Uptrend weakening but rate of weakening slowing |
+| $J < 0$ | $A < 0$ | $S > 0$ | Uptrend weakening at increasing rate |
+| $J > 0$ | $A < 0$ | $S < 0$ | Downtrend strengthening but rate slowing |
+| $J < 0$ | $A < 0$ | $S < 0$ | Downtrend strengthening at increasing rate |
+| $J > 0$ | $A > 0$ | $S < 0$ | Downtrend weakening at increasing rate |
+| $J < 0$ | $A > 0$ | $S < 0$ | Downtrend weakening but rate slowing |
+
+### Inflection Detection
+
+Jerk zero-crossings can indicate second-order inflection points:
+
+$$
+J_t \times J_{t-1} < 0 \implies \text{Acceleration inflection point}
+$$
+
+This precedes the acceleration zero-crossing, which precedes the velocity peak/trough.

+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not implemented |
+| **Skender** | N/A | Not implemented |
+| **Manual Calculation** | ✅ | Exact match |
+| **Derivative Chain** | ✅ | Jerk = Accel - Accel_{t-1} matches |
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Catastrophic Noise Sensitivity**: Third derivatives amplify noise cubically. A 1% random wiggle becomes a wild jerk spike. Pre-smooth the input significantly (14+ period EMA minimum) before computing JERK.
+
+2. **Scale Dependency**: JERK output scales with input magnitude cubed. A $100 stock has 1,000,000× larger jerks than a $1 stock. Normalization is essential for cross-instrument comparison.
+
+3. **Warmup Period**: JERK requires 4 values to produce meaningful output. The first three outputs are always 0.
+
+4. **Abstract Interpretation**: Jerk doesn't have an intuitive physical meaning for most traders. Use it as an early warning signal, not a direct trading trigger.
+
+5. **Lead Time vs. Reliability**: Jerk provides the earliest signal but is also the most prone to false signals. Combine with lower derivatives for confirmation.
+
+6. **Using isNew Incorrectly**: When processing live ticks within the same bar, use `Update(value, isNew: false)`. When a new bar opens, use `isNew: true` (default).
+
+7. **Memory Footprint**: ~80 bytes per instance. Negligible for most use cases.
+
+8. **Derivative Chain Verification**: JERK should equal the difference of consecutive ACCEL values. Use this identity to verify implementation correctness.

+# LINEARTRANS: Linear Scaling Transformer
+
+> "The simplest transformations are often the most powerful—linear scaling is the mathematical equivalent of adjusting the volume and tuning the dial."
+
+The Linear transformer applies an affine transformation $y = \text{slope} \cdot x + \text{intercept}$ to each value in a time series. This fundamental operation enables scaling, offsetting, unit conversion, and normalization—the building blocks for preparing data for analysis or combining signals from different sources.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Core Formula
+
+$$
+\text{Linear}_t = m \cdot x_t + b
+$$
+
+where:
+- $m$ is the slope (multiplicative factor)
+- $b$ is the intercept (additive constant)
+- $x_t$ is the input value at time $t$
+
+### Key Properties
+
+| Property | Formula | Description |
+|:---------|:--------|:------------|
+| **Identity** | $1 \cdot x + 0 = x$ | Default parameters preserve input |
+| **Composition** | $c(ax+b)+d = (ac)x + (bc+d)$ | Sequential transforms combine linearly |
+| **Inverse** | $\frac{1}{m}(y - b) = x$ | Recoverable when $m \neq 0$ |
+| **Difference Preservation** | $y_2 - y_1 = m(x_2 - x_1)$ | Relative differences scaled by slope |
+| **Zero Crossing** | $y = 0$ when $x = -b/m$ | Predictable intercept with x-axis |
+
+### Domain and Range
+
+| | Value |
+|:--|:--|
+| **Domain** | $(-\infty, +\infty)$ |
+| **Range** | $(-\infty, +\infty)$ when $m \neq 0$; $\{b\}$ when $m = 0$ |
+
+## Financial Applications
+
+### Unit Conversion
+
+Convert between price units or currencies:
+
+$$
+P_{\text{USD}} = \text{rate} \cdot P_{\text{EUR}}
+$$
+
+### Percentage to Decimal
+
+Convert percentage values to decimal form:
+
+$$
+r_{\text{decimal}} = 0.01 \cdot r_{\text{percent}}
+$$
+
+### Basis Point Scaling
+
+Convert decimal rates to basis points:
+
+$$
+r_{\text{bps}} = 10000 \cdot r_{\text{decimal}}
+$$
+
+### Price Normalization
+
+Normalize prices to a baseline:
+
+$$
+P_{\text{norm}} = \frac{P_t - P_0}{P_0} = \frac{1}{P_0} \cdot P_t - 1
+$$
+
+This is `Linear(1/P₀, -1)`.
+
+### Signal Combination
+
+Scale and combine multiple indicators:
+
+$$
+\text{Combo} = w_1 \cdot \text{RSI} + w_2 \cdot \text{MACD}_{\text{scaled}}
+$$
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Fused Multiply-Add (FMA)
+
+The implementation uses `Math.FusedMultiplyAdd(slope, value, intercept)` which computes $m \cdot x + b$ with a single rounding operation, providing:
+- Better numerical precision
+- Potential hardware acceleration
+- Reduced floating-point error accumulation
+
+### Special Cases
+
+| slope | intercept | Effect |
+|:------|:----------|:-------|
+| 1.0 | 0.0 | Identity (passthrough) |
+| 0.0 | b | Constant output |
+| -1.0 | 0.0 | Negation |
+| m | 0.0 | Pure scaling |
+| 1.0 | b | Pure offset |
+
+### Streaming Characteristics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|:-------|:------|
+| **Warmup Period** | 0 |
+| **Memory** | O(1) |
+| **Complexity** | O(1) per update |
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Scalar)
+
+| Operation | Count | Notes |
+|:----------|:-----:|:------|
+| FMA | 1 | Single fused operation |
+| **Total** | ~4 cycles | Near-instantaneous |
+
+### SIMD Optimization
+
+The span-based `Calculate` method uses AVX2/FMA intrinsics:
+- Processes 4 doubles per iteration
+- Hardware FMA when available
+- ~8× throughput improvement for large datasets
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+|:-------|:-----:|:------|
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | FMA provides optimal precision |
+| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Zero lag |
+| **Smoothness** | N/A | Transform preserves input characteristics |
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```csharp
+// Scale values by 2x and add 10
+var linear = new Lineartrans(slope: 2.0, intercept: 10.0);
+
+var input = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 50.0);
+var result = linear.Update(input);  // 110.0
+```
+
+### Converting Percentage to Decimal
+
+```csharp
+var toDecimal = new Lineartrans(slope: 0.01, intercept: 0.0);
+
+var percent = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 5.5);  // 5.5%
+var decimalRate = toDecimal.Update(percent);     // 0.055
+```
+
+### Normalizing to Baseline
+
+```csharp
+double baseline = 100.0;
+var normalizer = new Lineartrans(slope: 1.0 / baseline, intercept: -1.0);
+
+// Converts prices to percentage change from baseline
+var price = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 105.0);
+var pctChange = normalizer.Update(price);  // 0.05 (5% above baseline)
+```
+
+### Inverting a Transform
+
+```csharp
+double m = 2.0, b = 10.0;
+
+var transform = new Lineartrans(m, b);
+var inverse = new Lineartrans(1.0 / m, -b / m);
+
+// Round-trip: value → transformed → original
+var original = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 50.0);
+var transformed = transform.Update(original);  // 110.0
+var recovered = inverse.Update(transformed);   // 50.0
+```
+
+### Chaining Transforms
+
+```csharp
+var scale = new Lineartrans(2.0, 0.0);
+var offset = new Lineartrans(scale, 1.0, 10.0);  // Chain: scale then add 10
+
+// Equivalent to: Linear(2.0, 10.0)
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Zero Slope Trap**: Setting `slope=0` produces constant output regardless of input. This is valid but often unintentional.
+
+2. **Division by Zero in Inverse**: When computing inverse transforms, ensure the original slope is non-zero.
+
+3. **Overflow Risk**: Large slopes combined with large inputs can overflow. For slope=1e100 and x=1e100, the result exceeds double precision.
+
+4. **Precision Accumulation**: While single transforms are precise, many chained transforms accumulate error. Use composition formula to combine into single transform when possible.
+
+5. **Parameter Validation**: Constructor rejects NaN/Infinity for slope and intercept to fail fast rather than propagate invalid results.
+
+## Validation
+
+| Test | Status |
+|:-----|:------:|
+| **Mathematical Formula Parity** | ✅ |
+| **Identity Transform** | ✅ |
+| **Composition Property** | ✅ |
+| **Inverse Recovery** | ✅ |
+| **Difference Preservation** | ✅ |
+| **FMA Accuracy** | ✅ |

+# LOGTRANS: Natural Logarithm Transformer
+
+> "The logarithm is one of the most useful mathematical functions, turning multiplicative relationships into additive ones—a property that makes many financial calculations tractable."
+
+The LOG transformer applies the natural logarithm function $\ln(x)$ to input values. This point-wise transformation compresses large values and expands small ones, making it essential for analyzing multiplicative processes like compounded returns.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+The natural logarithm is defined as the inverse of the exponential function:
+
+$$
+y = \ln(x) \quad \text{where} \quad e^y = x
+$$
+
+Key identities:
+
+- $\ln(1) = 0$
+- $\ln(e) = 1$
+- $\ln(e^n) = n$
+
+### Logarithm Rules
+
+**Product Rule:**
+$$
+\ln(a \cdot b) = \ln(a) + \ln(b)
+$$
+
+**Quotient Rule:**
+$$
+\ln\left(\frac{a}{b}\right) = \ln(a) - \ln(b)
+$$
+
+**Power Rule:**
+$$
+\ln(a^n) = n \cdot \ln(a)
+$$
+
+## Financial Applications
+
+### Log Returns
+
+Log returns (continuously compounded returns) are computed as:
+
+$$
+r_t = \ln\left(\frac{P_t}{P_{t-1}}\right) = \ln(P_t) - \ln(P_{t-1})
+$$
+
+Log returns have desirable properties:
+- **Additive over time**: Multi-period return is the sum of single-period returns
+- **Symmetric**: A +10% log return followed by -10% returns to original price
+- **Approximately equal** to simple returns for small changes
+
+### Volatility Analysis
+
+Log-transformed prices are often used in volatility modeling because:
+- Standard deviation of log returns estimates volatility
+- Log prices follow geometric Brownian motion (GBM) under common models
+
+## Domain Restrictions
+
+The natural logarithm is only defined for positive real numbers:
+
+$$
+\text{Domain}: x > 0
+$$
+
+Invalid inputs (zero, negative, NaN, Infinity) return the last valid output value—a common pattern in financial indicators to prevent propagation of invalid data.
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count
+
+| Operation | Count | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| Math.Log | 1 | Single transcendental function call |
+| Comparison | 2 | Finite check, positive check |
+
+**Cycles per value:** ~15-25 (dominated by log computation)
+
+### SIMD Considerations
+
+The Calculate span method includes AVX2 detection but falls back to scalar processing for proper last-valid-value handling. Pure SIMD vectorization of log is possible but requires handling domain violations differently.
+
+## API Usage
+
+### Streaming Mode
+
+```csharp
+var log = new Logtrans();
+var result = log.Update(new TValue(time, price));
+```
+
+### Batch Mode
+
+```csharp
+var logPrices = Logtrans.Calculate(priceSeries);
+```
+
+### Span Mode
+
+```csharp
+Logtrans.Calculate(sourceSpan, outputSpan);
+```
+
+### Chaining
+
+```csharp
+var logTransform = new Logtrans(priceSource);
+// logTransform.Last updates automatically when priceSource publishes
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Zero/Negative Inputs**: Log of zero or negative numbers is undefined. The implementation substitutes last valid value.
+
+2. **Numerical Precision**: For values very close to 1, use `Math.Log1p(x-1)` for better precision (not implemented here).
+
+3. **Overflow Potential**: $\exp(\ln(x)) = x$ only within floating-point precision limits.
+
+4. **Inverse Relationship**: Remember that LOG compresses large values—a 10x price increase only doubles the log value.

+# LOWEST: Rolling Minimum
+
+> "Know your floor. Support levels are just historical minimums waiting to be tested."
+
+LOWEST calculates the minimum value over a rolling lookback window. This O(1) amortized streaming implementation uses a monotonic deque algorithm, enabling real-time updates without re-scanning the entire window. Validated against TA-Lib MIN and Tulip min functions.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+Rolling minimum is fundamental to technical analysis—support detection, drawdown calculation, and trailing stop placement all depend on tracking minimum values efficiently. The naive approach scans all values in the window on each update, requiring O(n) time per bar.
+
+The monotonic deque algorithm, popularized by Lemire (2006), reduces this to O(1) amortized time by maintaining an increasing sequence of candidates. Values that can never become the minimum (because they're larger and will expire before smaller values) are immediately discarded.
+
+QuanTAlib implements this optimal algorithm with full streaming support, SIMD batch optimization, and proper state management for bar corrections.
+
+## Architecture & Physics
+
+### 1. Monotonic Deque
+
+The core data structure is a deque maintaining indices of values in monotonically increasing order:
+
+$$
+\text{deque} = [i_1, i_2, \ldots, i_k] \quad \text{where} \quad V_{i_1} \leq V_{i_2} \leq \cdots \leq V_{i_k}
+$$
+
+The front of the deque always holds the index of the minimum value in the current window.
+
+### 2. Update Algorithm
+
+On each new value $V_t$:
+
+1. **Remove expired**: Pop indices from front if `index <= t - period`
+2. **Maintain monotonicity**: Pop indices from back while `V[back] >= V_t`
+3. **Add new**: Push current index $t$ to back
+4. **Result**: Front of deque is the minimum's index
+
+```
+Window: [5, 2, 7, 3, 6]  Period: 5
+Deque:  [1, 3]           // Index 1=2 (min), Index 3=3
+        
+Add 4 at index 5:
+Deque:  [1, 3, 5]        // 2 < 3 < 4, keep all
+        
+Add 1 at index 6:
+Deque:  [6]              // 1 < all others, 1 dominates
+```
+
+### 3. Bar Correction via Rollback
+
+When `isNew=false`, the indicator:
+1. Restores previous state (`_state = _p_state`)
+2. Replaces the last value in the buffer
+3. Rebuilds the deque by scanning the buffer
+
+This maintains correctness for real-time bar updates.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Rolling Minimum Definition
+
+$$
+\text{Lowest}_t = \min(V_{t-n+1}, V_{t-n+2}, \ldots, V_t)
+$$
+
+where $n$ is the lookback period.
+
+### Partial Window Behavior
+
+Before the window is full:
+
+$$
+\text{Lowest}_t = \min(V_0, V_1, \ldots, V_t) \quad \text{for } t < n
+$$
+
+### Complexity Analysis
+
+| Operation | Naive | Monotonic Deque |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: |
+| Per-update (worst) | O(n) | O(n) |
+| Per-update (amortized) | O(n) | O(1) |
+| Total for N updates | O(N×n) | O(N) |
+
+Each element is pushed and popped from the deque at most once across all operations.
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Amortized)
+
+| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| CMP (expired check) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+| CMP (monotonicity) | ~2 avg | 1 | 2 |
+| Array access | 3 | 3 | 9 |
+| Index arithmetic | 2 | 1 | 2 |
+| **Total** | **~8** | — | **~14 cycles** |
+
+### Batch Mode (SIMD)
+
+For batch processing, SIMD can parallelize comparisons within segments. However, the monotonic deque's sequential nature limits full vectorization. The span-based Calculate method uses a stackalloc deque buffer for cache efficiency.
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact minimum |
+| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Zero lag for minima |
+| **Smoothness** | 2/10 | Step changes at window boundaries |
+| **Computational Cost** | 9/10 | O(1) amortized |
+| **Memory** | 7/10 | O(n) for buffer + deque |
+
+## Validation
+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **TA-Lib MIN** | ✅ | Exact match |
+| **Tulip min** | ✅ | Exact match |
+| **Known Values** | ✅ | Manual verification |
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Window Boundary Effects**: Minimum changes abruptly when the previous min expires from the window. This creates step changes in the output.
+
+2. **Warmup Period**: `IsHot` becomes true after `period` values. Before warmup, returns minimum of available data.
+
+3. **Memory Footprint**: O(n) memory for both the ring buffer and deque indices. For period=200: ~3.2KB (200 doubles + 200 ints).
+
+4. **Deque Rebuild on Correction**: When `isNew=false`, the entire deque is rebuilt by scanning the buffer. Frequent corrections are O(n) each.
+
+5. **Support Level Detection**: The minimum often acts as support, but LOWEST reports raw values, not significance levels. Consider combining with volume or multiple timeframes.
+
+6. **Using isNew Incorrectly**: Use `isNew: false` only when correcting the current bar. New bars must use `isNew: true`.

+# MIDPOINT: Rolling Range Midpoint
+
+> "The center of the range is where price gravitates—equilibrium between bulls and bears."
+
+MIDPOINT calculates the midpoint of the rolling range: (Highest + Lowest) / 2. This represents the equilibrium price level within the lookback window. Validated against TA-Lib MIDPOINT function.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+The range midpoint appears throughout technical analysis as a mean-reversion anchor. Donchian Channel centerlines, pivot points, and equilibrium theories all reference the arithmetic mean of high and low extremes. The concept predates computers—floor traders mentally tracked "the middle of the range" to identify fair value.
+
+The calculation itself is trivial: average the maximum and minimum. The efficiency challenge lies in computing those extremes. QuanTAlib composes MIDPOINT from HIGHEST and LOWEST, each using O(1) amortized monotonic deque algorithms, yielding O(1) amortized midpoint updates.
+
+## Architecture & Physics
+
+### 1. Composition Pattern
+
+MIDPOINT internally maintains two child indicators:
+
+$$
+\text{Midpoint}_t = \frac{\text{Highest}_t + \text{Lowest}_t}{2}
+$$
+
+Both HIGHEST and LOWEST use monotonic deques independently.
+
+### 2. Data Flow
+
+```
+Input Value
+    │
+    ├──► Highest (monotonic decreasing deque) ──► max
+    │
+    └──► Lowest (monotonic increasing deque) ──► min
+                                                  │
+                            (max + min) × 0.5 ◄───┘
+                                    │
+                                    ▼
+                               Midpoint
+```
+
+### 3. State Synchronization
+
+When `isNew=false`:
+1. Both child indicators receive the correction
+2. Each rebuilds its deque independently
+3. Midpoint recalculates from corrected extremes
+
+State consistency is maintained through delegation.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Midpoint Definition
+
+$$
+\text{Midpoint}_t = \frac{\max_{i \in [t-n+1, t]} V_i + \min_{i \in [t-n+1, t]} V_i}{2}
+$$
+
+### Equivalent Formulation
+
+$$
+\text{Midpoint}_t = \text{Lowest}_t + \frac{\text{Range}_t}{2}
+$$
+
+where $\text{Range}_t = \text{Highest}_t - \text{Lowest}_t$.
+
+### Properties
+
+- **Bounds**: $\text{Lowest}_t \leq \text{Midpoint}_t \leq \text{Highest}_t$
+- **Symmetry**: Equidistant from both extremes by definition
+- **Range relationship**: $\text{Midpoint} = \text{Lowest} + 0.5 \times \text{Range}$
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Amortized)
+
+| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| Highest update | 1 | ~14 | 14 |
+| Lowest update | 1 | ~14 | 14 |
+| ADD | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+| MUL | 1 | 3 | 3 |
+| **Total** | **4** | — | **~32 cycles** |
+
+### Batch Mode Optimization
+
+The span-based Calculate method can:
+1. Compute HIGHEST for entire series
+2. Compute LOWEST for entire series
+3. Vectorize `(high[i] + low[i]) * 0.5` using SIMD
+
+Steps 1-2 are sequential (deque-based), but step 3 is embarrassingly parallel.
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact arithmetic |
+| **Timeliness** | 8/10 | Lags turning points |
+| **Smoothness** | 4/10 | Smoother than raw H/L but still stepped |
+| **Computational Cost** | 9/10 | 2× deque overhead |
+| **Memory** | 6/10 | 2× buffer memory |
+
+## Validation
+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **TA-Lib MIDPOINT** | ✅ | Exact match |
+| **Internal Consistency** | ✅ | (Highest + Lowest) / 2 verified |
+| **Known Values** | ✅ | Manual verification |
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Not a Moving Average**: MIDPOINT tracks range center, not price average. A trending series may have midpoint above or below mean price.
+
+2. **Step Changes**: When either extreme expires from the window, midpoint jumps. This creates non-smooth transitions.
+
+3. **Double Memory**: Maintains two ring buffers internally. For period=200: ~6.4KB total.
+
+4. **Mean-Reversion Assumption**: Using midpoint as "fair value" assumes bounded ranges. In trending markets, price may stay above/below midpoint for extended periods.
+
+5. **Warmup Period**: `IsHot` becomes true after `period` values. Before warmup, computes midpoint of available data.
+
+6. **Difference from MEDPRICE**: MIDPOINT uses rolling H/L extremes. TA-Lib MEDPRICE uses single-bar (High + Low) / 2. These are distinct calculations.

+# NORMALIZE: Min-Max Normalization
+
+> "Normalization is the art of making apples and oranges comparable—by insisting that everything lives on the same scale from 0 to 1."
+
+The Normalize transformer applies min-max scaling to map any value series into the bounded range [0, 1] based on the observed minimum and maximum within a rolling lookback window. This technique is fundamental for feature scaling, creating bounded oscillators, and comparing series with different magnitudes.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Core Formula
+
+$$
+\text{Norm}_t = \frac{x_t - \min_{[t-n+1, t]}}{\max_{[t-n+1, t]} - \min_{[t-n+1, t]}}
+$$
+
+where:
+- $x_t$ is the input value at time $t$
+- $n$ is the lookback period
+- $\min_{[t-n+1, t]}$ is the minimum value in the window
+- $\max_{[t-n+1, t]}$ is the maximum value in the window
+
+### Edge Case: Flat Range
+
+When $\max = \min$ (all values identical):
+
+$$
+\text{Norm}_t = 0.5
+$$
+
+This neutral value is returned since the "position" within a zero-width range is undefined.
+
+### Key Properties
+
+| Property | Value | Description |
+|:---------|:------|:------------|
+| **Range** | $[0, 1]$ | Guaranteed bounded output |
+| **Min maps to** | 0 | Lowest value in window → 0 |
+| **Max maps to** | 1 | Highest value in window → 1 |
+| **Linear** | Yes | Preserves relative distances within window |
+| **Invertible** | Yes* | If you know min/max |
+
+*Given the min and max used, original value = Norm × (max - min) + min
+
+## Financial Applications
+
+### Oscillator Construction
+
+Convert any price-based measure to oscillator form:
+
+$$
+\text{NormalizedRSI} = \text{Normalize}(\text{RSI}, 100)
+$$
+
+### Cross-Asset Comparison
+
+Compare instruments with different price scales:
+
+$$
+\text{RelativeStrength} = \text{Normalize}(\text{Price}_A, n) - \text{Normalize}(\text{Price}_B, n)
+$$
+
+### Machine Learning Features
+
+Prepare inputs for models requiring bounded features:
+
+$$
+\text{Feature}_i = \text{Normalize}(x_i, \text{lookback})
+$$
+
+### Dynamic Range Detection
+
+Identify where price sits within recent range:
+
+$$
+\text{Position} = \text{Normalize}(\text{Close}, 20)
+$$
+
+Values near 1.0 indicate price at recent highs; near 0.0 at recent lows.
+
+## Parameter Guide
+
+### Period Selection
+
+| Period | Behavior | Use Case |
+|:-------|:---------|:---------|
+| 5-10 | Highly responsive | Short-term oscillators |
+| 14-20 | Standard | General normalization |
+| 50-100 | Smooth | Position within broader context |
+| 200+ | Very stable | Long-term percentile-like behavior |
+
+### Period Effects
+
+- **Shorter periods**: More volatile output, quicker adaptation to new ranges
+- **Longer periods**: Smoother output, but slower to adapt; may stay near extremes longer
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Rolling Window Approach
+
+The implementation maintains a ring buffer of size $n$ and recalculates min/max on each update. This provides O(n) complexity per update but ensures correctness with the rolling window semantics.
+
+### Streaming Characteristics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|:-------|:------|
+| **Warmup Period** | $n$ (period) |
+| **Memory** | O(n) for ring buffer |
+| **Complexity** | O(n) per update |
+
+### Precision Considerations
+
+| Scenario | Handling |
+|:---------|:---------|
+| **Zero range** | Returns 0.5 |
+| **Very small range** | Full precision maintained |
+| **NaN/Infinity input** | Last valid value substituted |
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Streaming Mode)
+
+| Operation | Count | Notes |
+|:----------|:-----:|:------|
+| Buffer add | 1 | O(1) ring buffer |
+| Min scan | n | Linear scan of window |
+| Max scan | n | Combined with min scan |
+| SUB | 2 | value - min, max - min |
+| DIV | 1 | Final division |
+| **Total** | O(n) | Dominated by min/max scan |
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+|:-------|:-----:|:------|
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact min-max scaling |
+| **Boundedness** | 10/10 | Guaranteed [0, 1] output |
+| **Adaptability** | 8/10 | Adapts to rolling window |
+| **Timeliness** | 7/10 | Requires warmup period |
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```csharp
+// Create Normalize with 14-period lookback
+var norm = new Normalize(14);
+
+// Feed price data
+var price = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 105.0);
+var normalized = norm.Update(price);  // Value in [0, 1]
+```
+
+### Creating Oscillator from Any Series
+
+```csharp
+var rsi = new Rsi(14);
+var normRsi = new Normalize(rsi, 100);  // Chain: RSI → Normalize
+
+// RSI output (0-100) gets normalized to [0, 1] over 100 periods
+foreach (var bar in data)
+{
+    rsi.Update(new TValue(bar.Time, bar.Close));
+    // normRsi automatically updates via event
+}
+```
+
+### Comparing Multiple Assets
+
+```csharp
+var normA = new Normalize(50);
+var normB = new Normalize(50);
+
+// Compare where each asset sits in its own range
+var posA = normA.Update(new TValue(now, priceA));
+var posB = normB.Update(new TValue(now, priceB));
+
+var relativeStrength = posA.Value - posB.Value;  // [-1, 1]
+```
+
+### Span API for Batch Processing
+
+```csharp
+double[] prices = GetHistoricalPrices();
+double[] normalized = new double[prices.Length];
+
+Normalize.Calculate(prices, normalized, period: 20);
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Lookback Dependency**: Output depends heavily on what's in the lookback window. Unusual spikes or crashes in the window can distort normalization for the entire period duration.
+
+2. **Not Truly Bounded During Warmup**: Before the warmup period completes, the window is partial, which may produce less meaningful normalization.
+
+3. **Flat Market Handling**: When a series has no variation over the period, output becomes 0.5. This may need special handling if your strategy interprets 0.5 differently.
+
+4. **Window Lag**: When price breaks out of a long-established range, the old min/max remains in the window until it ages out, causing the normalized value to stay pinned at 0 or 1.
+
+5. **Memory Requirements**: Each instance requires O(period) memory for the ring buffer. For many indicators with long periods, this can add up.
+
+6. **Non-Stationarity**: Min-max normalization assumes the range is representative. In trending markets, the normalization may consistently return values near 0 or 1.
+
+## Validation
+
+| Test | Status |
+|:-----|:------:|
+| **Output in [0, 1]** | ✅ |
+| **Max value → 1** | ✅ |
+| **Min value → 0** | ✅ |
+| **Flat range → 0.5** | ✅ |
+| **Linear mapping** | ✅ |
+| **Rolling window correctness** | ✅ |
+| **Streaming = Batch** | ✅ |

+# RELU: Rectified Linear Unit
+
+> "The simplest non-linearity that works—ReLU's computational efficiency and gradient-friendly properties made deep learning practical."
+
+The Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function applies `max(0, x)` to each value, passing positive inputs unchanged while zeroing negative ones. Its simplicity belies its importance: ReLU enabled the training of deep neural networks by mitigating vanishing gradients, and its computational efficiency makes it the default activation for most architectures.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Core Formula
+
+$$
+\text{ReLU}(x) = \max(0, x) = \begin{cases} x & \text{if } x > 0 \\ 0 & \text{if } x \leq 0 \end{cases}
+$$
+
+### Key Properties
+
+| Property | Formula | Description |
+|:---------|:--------|:------------|
+| **Non-negativity** | $\text{ReLU}(x) \geq 0$ | Output always ≥ 0 |
+| **Identity for Positives** | $\text{ReLU}(x) = x$ for $x > 0$ | Passthrough for positive values |
+| **Sparsity Inducing** | $\text{ReLU}(x) = 0$ for $x \leq 0$ | Creates sparse activations |
+| **Derivative** | $\frac{d}{dx}\text{ReLU}(x) = \mathbf{1}_{x>0}$ | 1 for positive, 0 for negative |
+| **Scale Equivariance** | $\text{ReLU}(\alpha x) = \alpha \cdot \text{ReLU}(x)$ for $\alpha > 0$ | Positive scaling preserved |
+
+### Domain and Range
+
+| | Value |
+|:--|:--|
+| **Domain** | $(-\infty, +\infty)$ |
+| **Range** | $[0, +\infty)$ |
+
+## Financial Applications
+
+### Threshold-Based Signals
+
+Zero out values below a threshold (e.g., only consider positive returns):
+
+$$
+\text{PositiveReturns}_t = \text{ReLU}(r_t)
+$$
+
+### Asymmetric Risk Metrics
+
+Compute downside deviation using ReLU on negated returns:
+
+$$
+\text{Downside}_t = \text{ReLU}(-r_t)
+$$
+
+### Clamping Negative Values
+
+Ensure non-negative inputs to subsequent calculations:
+
+$$
+\text{Volume}_{\text{clamped}} = \text{ReLU}(\text{Volume} - \text{Threshold})
+$$
+
+### Neural Network Features
+
+Pre-processing layer for ML-based trading models where ReLU activation is standard.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### SIMD Optimization
+
+The implementation uses AVX2 vectorization when available:
+- Processes 4 doubles per instruction using `Avx.Max`
+- Falls back to scalar `Math.Max` for remaining elements
+- Achieves ~4× throughput improvement on compatible hardware
+
+### NaN Handling
+
+Non-finite inputs (NaN, ±Infinity) are replaced with the last valid output value, maintaining series continuity.
+
+### Streaming Characteristics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|:-------|:------|
+| **Warmup Period** | 0 |
+| **Memory** | O(1) |
+| **Complexity** | O(1) per update |
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Scalar)
+
+| Operation | Count | Notes |
+|:----------|:-----:|:------|
+| CMP | 1 | Comparison with zero |
+| MOV | 1 | Conditional move |
+| **Total** | ~2-3 cycles | Branch-free with CMOV |
+
+### SIMD Performance (AVX2)
+
+| Mode | Throughput | Notes |
+|:-----|:-----------|:------|
+| Scalar | 1 value/cycle | Single comparison |
+| AVX2 | 4 values/cycle | `vpmaxpd` instruction |
+| **Speedup** | ~4× | For aligned batch operations |
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+|:-------|:-----:|:------|
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact computation |
+| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Zero lag |
+| **Smoothness** | 7/10 | Discontinuous derivative at origin |
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```csharp
+var relu = new Relu();
+var input = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, -5.0);
+var result = relu.Update(input);  // Returns 0.0
+
+input = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 3.5);
+result = relu.Update(input);  // Returns 3.5
+```
+
+### Filtering Negative Returns
+
+```csharp
+var returns = new TSeries();
+// ... populate with return values
+
+var relu = new Relu();
+var positiveReturns = relu.Update(returns);
+// All negative returns become 0
+```
+
+### Batch Processing with SIMD
+
+```csharp
+double[] source = { -2.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 };
+double[] output = new double[source.Length];
+
+Relu.Calculate(source.AsSpan(), output.AsSpan());
+// output: { 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3 }
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Dead Neurons**: In neural network contexts, neurons with ReLU can "die" if they receive consistently negative inputs during training—they output zero and have zero gradient.
+
+2. **Unbounded Output**: Unlike sigmoid, ReLU has no upper bound. Large positive inputs pass through unchanged, potentially causing numerical issues downstream.
+
+3. **Non-differentiable at Origin**: The derivative is technically undefined at x=0. In practice, implementations choose either 0 or 1; this rarely matters for gradient descent.
+
+4. **Loss of Negative Information**: ReLU discards all information from negative values. If negative values carry meaningful signals, consider alternatives like LeakyReLU or using the raw values.
+
+5. **Not Zero-Centered**: ReLU outputs are always non-negative, which can slow convergence in some optimization scenarios.
+
+## Validation
+
+| Test | Status |
+|:-----|:------:|
+| **Math.Max(0, x) Parity** | ✅ |
+| **Zero Passthrough** | ✅ |
+| **Negative → Zero** | ✅ |
+| **Positive Passthrough** | ✅ |
+| **SIMD/Scalar Consistency** | ✅ |
+| **NaN Handling** | ✅ |

+# SIGMOID: Logistic Function
+
+> "The sigmoid function is the S-curve that turns messy reality into neat probabilities—a mathematical diplomat that insists every answer must be between 0 and 1."
+
+The Sigmoid (Logistic) transformer maps any real-valued input to the bounded range (0, 1) using the standard logistic function. Its characteristic S-shaped curve makes it indispensable for probability estimation, neural network activations, and any scenario requiring bounded outputs from unbounded inputs.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Core Formula
+
+$$
+S(x) = \frac{1}{1 + e^{-k(x - x_0)}}
+$$
+
+where:
+- $x$ is the input value
+- $k$ is the steepness factor (default 1.0)
+- $x_0$ is the midpoint where $S(x_0) = 0.5$ (default 0.0)
+- $e \approx 2.71828...$ is Euler's number
+
+### Key Properties
+
+| Property | Formula | Description |
+|:---------|:--------|:------------|
+| **Midpoint** | $S(x_0) = 0.5$ | Centered at $x_0$ |
+| **Symmetry** | $S(x_0 + d) + S(x_0 - d) = 1$ | Point symmetry about $(x_0, 0.5)$ |
+| **Limits** | $\lim_{x \to -\infty} S(x) = 0$, $\lim_{x \to +\infty} S(x) = 1$ | Asymptotic bounds |
+| **Derivative** | $S'(x) = k \cdot S(x) \cdot (1 - S(x))$ | Self-referential gradient |
+| **Monotonicity** | $S'(x) > 0$ for all $x$ | Strictly increasing |
+| **Steepness** | Higher $k$ → steeper transition | Controls sensitivity |
+
+### Domain and Range
+
+| | Value |
+|:--|:--|
+| **Domain** | $(-\infty, +\infty)$ |
+| **Range** | $(0, 1)$ exclusive |
+
+The sigmoid accepts any real number and always produces outputs strictly between 0 and 1 (never exactly 0 or 1).
+
+## Financial Applications
+
+### Probability-like Outputs
+
+Convert any signal to a pseudo-probability:
+
+$$
+P_{signal} = S(z\text{-score})
+$$
+
+where large positive z-scores approach 1, negative approach 0.
+
+### Bounded Confidence Indicators
+
+Transform unbounded oscillators to fixed ranges:
+
+$$
+\text{BoundedRSI} = S(k \cdot (\text{RSI} - 50))
+$$
+
+### Regime Classification
+
+Soft classification between bullish (1) and bearish (0) regimes:
+
+$$
+\text{Regime} = S(k \cdot \text{TrendStrength})
+$$
+
+### Position Sizing
+
+Map conviction signals to allocation weights:
+
+$$
+\text{Weight} = S(\text{ConvictionScore})
+$$
+
+## Parameter Guide
+
+### Steepness ($k$)
+
+| $k$ Value | Behavior | Use Case |
+|:----------|:---------|:---------|
+| 0.1 | Very gradual | Smooth transitions, noise reduction |
+| 0.5 | Gentle | Conservative probability mapping |
+| 1.0 | Standard | General purpose (default) |
+| 2.0 | Steep | Quick regime detection |
+| 5.0+ | Very steep | Near binary classification |
+
+### Midpoint ($x_0$)
+
+| $x_0$ Value | Behavior |
+|:------------|:---------|
+| 0.0 | Standard (default), symmetric about origin |
+| Mean | Centers output around data average |
+| Threshold | Custom decision boundary |
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Overflow Handling
+
+For extreme inputs, the exponential can overflow:
+- When $-k(x - x_0) > 700$: return 0.0 (avoid exp overflow)
+- When $-k(x - x_0) < -700$: return 1.0 (exp underflows to 0)
+
+### Precision Considerations
+
+| Input Range | Output Precision |
+|:------------|:-----------------|
+| $|k(x-x_0)| < 20$ | Full 15-16 digits |
+| $|k(x-x_0)| > 36$ | Saturates to 0 or 1 within double precision |
+
+### Streaming Characteristics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|:-------|:------|
+| **Warmup Period** | 0 |
+| **Memory** | O(1) |
+| **Complexity** | O(1) per update |
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Scalar)
+
+| Operation | Count | Notes |
+|:----------|:-----:|:------|
+| SUB | 1 | $x - x_0$ |
+| MUL | 1 | $k \times (x - x_0)$ |
+| NEG | 1 | Negate for exp |
+| EXP | 1 | Hardware instruction |
+| ADD | 1 | $1 + \exp(...)$ |
+| DIV | 1 | Final division |
+| **Total** | ~25-30 cycles | Dominated by EXP |
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+|:-------|:-----:|:------|
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | IEEE 754 compliant |
+| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Zero lag |
+| **Smoothness** | 10/10 | Infinitely differentiable |
+| **Boundedness** | 10/10 | Guaranteed (0, 1) output |
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```csharp
+// Create Sigmoid with default parameters
+var sigmoid = new Sigmoid();
+
+// Transform z-score to probability-like value
+var zscore = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 2.0);
+var probability = sigmoid.Update(zscore);  // ≈ 0.881
+```
+
+### Custom Steepness
+
+```csharp
+// Steep sigmoid for quick transitions
+var steepSigmoid = new Sigmoid(k: 3.0);
+
+var x = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 1.0);
+var result = steepSigmoid.Update(x);  // ≈ 0.953 (steeper than default 0.731)
+```
+
+### Custom Midpoint
+
+```csharp
+// Center sigmoid at RSI neutral level (50)
+var rsiSigmoid = new Sigmoid(k: 0.1, x0: 50);
+
+var rsiValue = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 70);
+var bullishProbability = rsiSigmoid.Update(rsiValue);  // ≈ 0.881
+```
+
+### Span API for Batch Processing
+
+```csharp
+double[] inputs = { -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 };
+double[] outputs = new double[inputs.Length];
+
+Sigmoid.Calculate(inputs, outputs, k: 1.0, x0: 0.0);
+// outputs ≈ { 0.119, 0.269, 0.500, 0.731, 0.881 }
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Not Exactly 0 or 1**: Sigmoid asymptotically approaches but never reaches 0 or 1. If you need exact binary outputs, apply a threshold post-sigmoid.
+
+2. **Vanishing Gradients**: For very large or small inputs, $S'(x) \approx 0$. This is a feature for boundedness but can cause issues if the sigmoid is part of a learning system.
+
+3. **Scale Sensitivity**: The default $k=1$ assumes inputs are roughly in the range $[-5, 5]$. For inputs with different scales, adjust $k$ or normalize inputs first.
+
+4. **Midpoint Confusion**: Remember $x_0$ shifts where 0.5 occurs, not where 0 occurs. Sigmoid never outputs exactly 0.
+
+5. **Symmetry Assumption**: Sigmoid imposes symmetric transition behavior. For asymmetric responses, consider other activation functions.
+
+## Validation
+
+| Test | Status |
+|:-----|:------:|
+| **Midpoint S(x₀) = 0.5** | ✅ |
+| **Symmetry Property** | ✅ |
+| **Range (0, 1)** | ✅ |
+| **Monotonicity** | ✅ |
+| **Steepness Effect** | ✅ |
+| **Limit Behavior** | ✅ |
+| **Overflow Guards** | ✅ |

+# SLOPE: First Derivative (Velocity)
+
+> "The simplest measure of change reveals the most: is it going up, or going down?"
+
+SLOPE measures the instantaneous rate of change—the velocity of a time series. As the first derivative, it answers the fundamental question: how fast is the value changing right now? A positive slope means ascending; negative means descending; zero means flat. This O(1) streaming implementation uses SIMD optimization for batch calculations and handles bar corrections via state rollback.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+The first derivative appears in Newton's calculus (1687) and forms the foundation of technical analysis. Every momentum indicator, every rate-of-change calculation, every velocity measure reduces to some form of first difference.
+
+In discrete time series, the continuous derivative $\frac{dx}{dt}$ becomes the finite difference $\Delta x = x_t - x_{t-1}$. This simple subtraction underpins RSI's momentum, MACD's signal line, and every trend-following system that asks "which way is it moving?"
+
+QuanTAlib implements SLOPE as a first-class indicator with full streaming support, SIMD batch optimization, and proper state management for bar corrections.
+
+## Architecture & Physics
+
+SLOPE is a memoryless differentiator with minimal state requirements:
+
+### 1. First Difference Operation
+
+The fundamental operation:
+
+$$
+S_t = V_t - V_{t-1}
+$$
+
+where $V_t$ is the current value and $V_{t-1}$ is the previous value.
+
+### 2. State Management
+
+State consists of:
+- `PrevValue`: The previous input value
+- `LastValidValue`: Last known finite value for NaN/Infinity substitution
+- `Count`: Number of values processed (0, 1, or 2+)
+
+The indicator becomes "hot" (fully warmed up) after 2 values.
+
+### 3. Bar Correction via Rollback
+
+When `isNew=false`, the indicator rolls back to the previous state before recalculating:
+
+$$
+\text{State}_{current} \leftarrow \text{State}_{previous}
+$$
+
+This enables real-time bar updates without corrupting the running calculation.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Discrete First Derivative
+
+For a time series $V$:
+
+$$
+S_t = V_t - V_{t-1}
+$$
+
+This is the forward difference approximation of the derivative.
+
+### Interpretation
+
+| Slope Value | Meaning |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| $S > 0$ | Price ascending (bullish) |
+| $S < 0$ | Price descending (bearish) |
+| $S = 0$ | Price unchanged (consolidation) |
+| $|S|$ large | Fast movement |
+| $|S|$ small | Slow movement |
+
+### Relationship to Higher Derivatives
+
+SLOPE forms the basis of the derivative chain:
+
+$$
+\text{Accel}_t = \text{Slope}_t - \text{Slope}_{t-1}
+$$
+
+$$
+\text{Jolt}_t = \text{Accel}_t - \text{Accel}_{t-1}
+$$
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar)
+
+| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| SUB | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+| MOV (state update) | 2 | 1 | 2 |
+| CMP (IsFinite check) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+| **Total** | **4** | — | **~4 cycles** |
+
+SLOPE is one of the fastest possible indicators—a single subtraction plus state bookkeeping.
+
+### Batch Mode (512 values, SIMD)
+
+| Architecture | Vector Width | Elements/Op | Total Ops (512 values) |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| AVX-512 | 512 bits | 8 doubles | 64 |
+| AVX | 256 bits | 4 doubles | 128 |
+| ARM64 Neon | 128 bits | 2 doubles | 256 |
+| Scalar | 64 bits | 1 double | 512 |
+
+**Batch efficiency (512 bars):**
+
+| Mode | Cycles/bar | Total (512 bars) | Speedup |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| Scalar streaming | 4 | 2,048 | 1× |
+| AVX-512 SIMD | 0.5 | 256 | 8× |
+| AVX SIMD | 1 | 512 | 4× |
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact finite difference |
+| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Zero lag (instantaneous) |
+| **Smoothness** | 3/10 | Amplifies noise |
+| **Computational Cost** | 10/10 | Single subtraction |
+| **Memory** | 10/10 | ~48 bytes state |
+
+## Validation
+
+SLOPE is a fundamental operation. Validation confirms exact match with manual calculation.
+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Uses ROC (percent change) |
+| **Skender** | N/A | Uses Slope regression |
+| **Manual Calculation** | ✅ | Exact match |
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Noise Amplification**: First derivatives amplify high-frequency noise. A 1% price wiggle becomes a full slope reversal. Consider smoothing the input or output for noisy data.
+
+2. **Scale Dependency**: SLOPE output depends on input scale. A $100 stock has 100× larger slopes than a $1 stock. Normalize if comparing across instruments.
+
+3. **Warmup Period**: SLOPE requires 2 values to produce meaningful output. The first output is always 0.
+
+4. **Using isNew Incorrectly**: When processing live ticks within the same bar, use `Update(value, isNew: false)`. When a new bar opens, use `isNew: true` (default).
+
+5. **Memory Footprint**: ~48 bytes per instance. Negligible for most use cases.

+# SQRTTRANS: Square Root Transform
+
+> "The square root is nature's variance-stabilizing trick—halving the exponent space while preserving monotonicity. When price volatility scales with level, sqrt compresses the noise."
+
+The Square Root (SQRT) transformer applies $\sqrt{x}$ to each value in a time series. This variance-stabilizing transformation compresses ranges where volatility scales with magnitude, making it useful for heteroscedastic data where standard deviation increases with price level.
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Core Formula
+
+$$
+\text{SQRT}_t = \sqrt{x_t}
+$$
+
+where:
+- $x_t$ is the input value at time $t$
+- $x_t \geq 0$ (domain restriction)
+
+### Key Properties
+
+| Property | Formula | Description |
+|:---------|:--------|:------------|
+| **Domain** | $x \geq 0$ | Only non-negative inputs valid |
+| **Range** | $y \geq 0$ | Output always non-negative |
+| **Product Rule** | $\sqrt{ab} = \sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b}$ | Factors separate under sqrt |
+| **Quotient Rule** | $\sqrt{a/b} = \sqrt{a} / \sqrt{b}$ | Division becomes ratio of roots |
+| **Power Relation** | $\sqrt{x} = x^{0.5}$ | Half-power equivalence |
+| **Inverse** | $(\sqrt{x})^2 = x$ | Squaring reverses sqrt |
+| **Identity** | $\sqrt{0} = 0$, $\sqrt{1} = 1$ | Fixed points |
+
+### Derivative
+
+$$
+\frac{d}{dx}\sqrt{x} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}
+$$
+
+The derivative approaches infinity as $x \to 0^+$, meaning small changes near zero produce large output changes.
+
+## Financial Applications
+
+### Variance Stabilization
+
+For data where standard deviation scales with the mean (Poisson-like behavior), sqrt transformation normalizes variance:
+
+$$
+\text{Var}(\sqrt{X}) \approx \text{constant}
+$$
+
+This enables statistical techniques that assume homoscedasticity.
+
+### Volatility Scaling
+
+When volatility is proportional to price level:
+
+$$
+\sigma_{price} \propto P \implies \sigma_{\sqrt{P}} \approx \text{constant}
+$$
+
+The sqrt transformation can normalize volatility for cross-asset comparison.
+
+### Distance Metrics
+
+Euclidean distance in feature space:
+
+$$
+d = \sqrt{\sum_i (x_i - y_i)^2}
+$$
+
+### Risk Metrics
+
+Volatility from variance:
+
+$$
+\sigma = \sqrt{\text{Var}(R)}
+$$
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Negative Input Handling
+
+Mathematical $\sqrt{x}$ is undefined for $x < 0$. This implementation:
+- Returns last valid value for negative inputs
+- Returns last valid value for NaN/Infinity
+- Starts with lastValid = 0.0 (since sqrt(0) = 0)
+
+### Precision Characteristics
+
+| Input Range | Relative Precision |
+|:------------|:-------------------|
+| $x > 0$ | Full 15-16 digits |
+| $x = 0$ | Exact (returns 0) |
+| $x < 0$ | Substituted with last valid |
+
+### Streaming Characteristics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|:-------|:------|
+| **Warmup Period** | 0 |
+| **Memory** | O(1) |
+| **Complexity** | O(1) per update |
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Scalar)
+
+| Operation | Count | Notes |
+|:----------|:-----:|:------|
+| SQRT | 1 | Hardware instruction (FSQRT) |
+| CMP | 1 | Domain check |
+| **Total** | ~15-20 cycles | Platform dependent |
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+|:-------|:-----:|:------|
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | IEEE 754 compliant |
+| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Zero lag |
+| **Smoothness** | N/A | Transform preserves input characteristics |
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```csharp
+// Create SQRT transformer
+var sqrt = new Sqrttrans();
+
+// Transform a value
+var price = new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 100.0);
+var result = sqrt.Update(price);  // 10.0
+```
+
+### Variance Stabilization
+
+```csharp
+var prices = new TSeries();
+// ... populate with price data
+
+// Apply sqrt transform for variance stabilization
+var sqrtPrices = Sqrttrans.Calculate(prices);
+
+// Now compute statistics on transformed data
+var stdDev = StdDev.Calculate(sqrtPrices, 20);
+```
+
+### Batch Processing
+
+```csharp
+var source = new double[] { 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 };
+var output = new double[source.Length];
+
+Sqrttrans.Calculate(source, output);
+// output: { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
+```
+
+### Chained with Square
+
+```csharp
+// Round-trip: sqrt(x^2) = |x|
+var values = bars.Close;
+var squared = values.Select(v => new TValue(v.Time, v.Value * v.Value)).ToTSeries();
+var recovered = Sqrttrans.Calculate(squared);
+// recovered ≈ abs(original)
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Negative Input**: Prices are always positive, but derived values (returns, differences) can be negative. Sqrt is undefined for negatives—this implementation returns last valid value.
+
+2. **Zero Amplification**: Near zero, small changes in input cause large changes in sqrt output. $\sqrt{0.01} = 0.1$ but $\sqrt{0.0001} = 0.01$—a 100x input change yields only 10x output change.
+
+3. **Reversal Requires Squaring**: To undo sqrt, square the result. Unlike log/exp which are inverses, sqrt/square are only one-way inverses for non-negative values.
+
+4. **Variance Stabilization Assumption**: Sqrt is optimal when variance scales linearly with mean. For other heteroscedasticity patterns, log or Box-Cox may be more appropriate.
+
+5. **Magnitude Compression**: Sqrt compresses large values more than small ones. $\sqrt{10000} = 100$ but $\sqrt{100} = 10$. This can distort technical analysis patterns that depend on absolute price levels.
+
+## Validation

+| **Inverse of Square** | ✅ |
+| **Product Rule** | ✅ |
+| **Quotient Rule** | ✅ |
+| **Power Relationship (x^0.5)** | ✅ |
+| **Small Values (1e-10 to 1e-2)** | ✅ |
+| **Large Values (1e10 to 1e100)** | ✅ |

+indicator("Standardization (Z-score)", "STANDARDIZE", overlay=false, precision=4)
+
+//@function Calculates the Z-score of a series over a lookback period.
+//@doc https://github.com/mihakralj/pinescript/blob/main/indicators/numerics/standardize.md
+//@param src series float Input data series.
+//@param len simple int Lookback period for calculating mean and standard deviation (must be > 1 for sample stdev).
+//@returns series float The Z-score of the current data point, or na if issues like insufficient data or zero stdev for a non-mean current value.
