+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Streaming Mode)
+
+Vortex tracks rolling sums of VM+ and VM− (directional bar movements) and TR over N bars using O(1) running sums backed by RingBuffers.
+
+**Post-warmup steady state (per bar):**
+
+| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| ABS × 2 (VM+ = |High − PrevLow|, VM− = |Low − PrevHigh|) | 2 | 1 | 2 |
+| TR computation (SUB×3, ABS×2, MAX×2) | 7 | 1 | 7 |
+| SUB × 3 (subtract oldest from sums) | 3 | 1 | 3 |
+| ADD × 3 (add new to sums) | 3 | 1 | 3 |
+| RingBuffer writes × 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 |
+| DIV × 2 (VI+ = sumVM+/sumTR, VI− = sumVM−/sumTR) | 2 | 15 | 30 |
+| CMP (sumTR > 0 guard) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+| **Total** | **21** | — | **~49 cycles** |
+
+Three parallel O(1) running sums with RingBuffers. For default $N=14$: ~49 cycles per bar. Batch mode pre-computes per-bar vectors then applies sliding sums.
+
+### Batch Mode (SIMD Analysis)
+
+| Operation | Vectorizable? | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| VM+ / VM− computation | Yes | VSUBPD + VABSPD — fully independent per bar |
+| TR computation | Yes | VSUBPD + VABSPD + VMAXPD — independent per bar |
+| Prefix sum (VM+, VM−, TR) | Partial | Inclusive prefix sum; SIMD assist with subtract-lag |
+| Division (VI+, VI−) | Yes | VDIVPD on prefix-sum results |
+
+All individual-bar computations are independent and SIMD-friendly. The prefix-sum step benefits from AVX2 vectorization. For $N=14$ and arrays of 1000+ bars, batch SIMD achieves ~3–4× throughput over scalar streaming.
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact arithmetic; O(1) running sums avoid floating-point drift |
+| **Timeliness** | 7/10 | N-bar window; responds within one period to directional change |
+| **Smoothness** | 6/10 | Rolling sum provides moderate smoothing; no additional filter |
+| **Noise Rejection** | 6/10 | N-period window averages out individual bar noise; no adaptive bandwidth |
