Add Close-to-Close Volatility (CCV) implementation and validation tests

- Implemented CCV class for calculating annualized log return volatility using SMA, EMA, and WMA smoothing methods.
- Added comprehensive unit tests for CCV to validate mathematical correctness, consistency across methods, and edge cases.
- Created documentation for CCV detailing its mathematical foundation, smoothing methods, and performance metrics.

# BBW: Bollinger Band Width
> "Volatility breeds opportunity. The squeeze precedes the explosion."
Bollinger Band Width measures the distance between upper and lower Bollinger Bands, normalized by the middle band. When BBW is low, the bands are squeezing together, signaling compressed volatility and impending breakout. When BBW is high, the market is in an expanded volatility state. BBW transforms Bollinger Bands from a visual channel indicator into a quantifiable volatility oscillator, enabling algorithmic detection of "squeeze" conditions that often precede significant price moves.
## Historical Context
John Bollinger introduced Bollinger Bands in the 1980s as a self-adjusting volatility envelope. The bands expand and contract based on recent price volatility measured by standard deviation. While the bands themselves are useful for identifying overbought/oversold conditions, traders noticed that band contraction often preceded explosive moves.
BBW (Bollinger Band Width) was developed to quantify this contraction numerically. Rather than eyeballing chart patterns, BBW provides an objective measurement. The formula divides the band distance by the middle band (SMA), producing a percentage-based reading that allows comparison across different price levels and assets.
The "Bollinger Squeeze" became a popular trading setup: identify periods of historically low BBW, then trade the subsequent breakout. Some traders add a momentum filter (like Keltner Channels inside Bollinger Bands) to confirm the squeeze, but BBW alone captures the core volatility compression signal.
## Architecture & Physics
BBW is derived from Bollinger Bands components. It requires:
1. **SMA (Simple Moving Average)**: The middle band and normalizer
2. **StdDev (Standard Deviation)**: Measures price dispersion
3. **Multiplier**: Scales the standard deviation for band width
### Band Construction
$$
\text{Middle} = SMA(P, N)
$$
$$
\text{Upper} = \text{Middle} + k \times \sigma_N
$$
$$
\text{Lower} = \text{Middle} - k \times \sigma_N
$$
Where:
- $P$: Price series (typically close)
- $N$: Period (default 20)
- $k$: Multiplier (default 2.0)
- $\sigma_N$: Standard deviation over N periods
### BBW Calculation
$$
BBW_t = \frac{\text{Upper}_t - \text{Lower}_t}{\text{Middle}_t} = \frac{2k \times \sigma_t}{SMA_t}
$$
Since $\text{Upper} - \text{Lower} = 2k\sigma$, BBW simplifies to:
$$
BBW_t = \frac{2k \times \sigma_t}{SMA_t}
$$
This is equivalent to:
$$
BBW_t = \frac{2k \times StdDev(P, N)}{SMA(P, N)}
$$
### Interpretation
| BBW Value | Volatility State | Market Condition |
| :-------- | :--------------- | :--------------- |
| Low (< historical 20th percentile) | Compressed | Squeeze, expect breakout |
| Medium | Normal | Trending or ranging |
| High (> historical 80th percentile) | Expanded | Post-breakout, potential reversal |
## Mathematical Foundation
### Relationship to Coefficient of Variation
BBW is proportional to the Coefficient of Variation (CV):
$$
CV = \frac{\sigma}{\mu}
$$
$$
BBW = 2k \times CV
$$
With default $k=2$, BBW equals 4 times the coefficient of variation. This normalization allows BBW to be compared across assets with different price levels.
### Standard Deviation Formula
Population standard deviation over N periods:
$$
\sigma_N = \sqrt{\frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^{N} (P_i - \bar{P})^2}
$$
Where $\bar{P} = SMA(P, N)$.
### Warmup Period
BBW requires N bars to compute valid SMA and StdDev. The first N-1 values are progressively calculated but may not reflect stable readings.
### Range Bounds
BBW is theoretically unbounded above but has practical constraints:
- Minimum: 0 (when StdDev = 0, all prices identical)
- Typical range: 0.01 to 0.5 (1% to 50% band width relative to SMA)
- Extreme: > 0.5 during market panics
## Performance Profile
### Operation Count (Streaming Mode)
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :-------- | ----: | ------------: | -------: |
| SMA update | 1 | ~5 | 5 |
| StdDev update | 1 | ~20 | 20 |
| MUL (2 × k) | 1 | 3 | 3 |
| MUL (× StdDev) | 1 | 3 | 3 |
| DIV (/ SMA) | 1 | 15 | 15 |
| **Total** | **5** | — | **~46 cycles** |
StdDev dominates due to variance calculation. Division is secondary cost.
### SIMD Analysis
| Component | SIMD Potential | Notes |
| :-------- | :------------- | :---- |
| SMA calculation | Yes | Sum can vectorize |
| Variance calculation | Yes | Sum of squares vectorizes |
| Final BBW | No | Scalar division |
### Quality Metrics
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :----- | ----: | :---- |
| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact Bollinger Band formula |
| **Timeliness** | 7/10 | Lags due to SMA/StdDev windowing |
| **Overshoot** | 10/10 | Bounded measure, cannot overshoot |
| **Smoothness** | 8/10 | Smooth due to SMA averaging |
## Validation
Validated against external libraries in `Bbw.Validation.Tests.cs`.
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :------ | :----: | :---- |
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | No direct BBW function |
| **Skender** | ✅ | Matches `GetBollingerBands` width calculation |
| **Tulip** | N/A | No direct BBW function |
| **Ooples** | ✅ | Matches `CalculateBollingerBandsWidth` |
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Squeeze Detection Timing**: Low BBW signals *potential* breakout, not *immediate* breakout. Squeezes can persist for extended periods before resolution. Combine with momentum or volume confirmation.
2. **Directional Assumption**: BBW measures volatility magnitude, not direction. A squeeze can break upward or downward with equal probability from BBW alone. Use trend filters for directional bias.
3. **Period Sensitivity**: Shorter periods (10-15) produce more responsive but noisier BBW. Longer periods (25-50) are smoother but lag volatility changes. Match period to your trading timeframe.
4. **Multiplier Impact**: Changing the multiplier (k) scales BBW proportionally. BBW with k=3 will be 1.5× the value of BBW with k=2. Ensure consistent multiplier when comparing historical readings.
5. **Mean-Reverting Nature**: Unlike trending indicators, BBW tends to mean-revert. Extremely low BBW readings eventually return to average as volatility normalizes post-squeeze.
6. **Cross-Asset Comparison**: While BBW is percentage-normalized, different assets have different "normal" volatility ranges. A 0.10 BBW might be low for a volatile stock but high for a bond ETF.
7. **Zero Division Guard**: If SMA equals zero (theoretically impossible with positive prices), BBW would be undefined. Implementation guards against this edge case.
## Usage Examples
```csharp
// Streaming mode
var bbw = new Bbw(period: 20, multiplier: 2.0);
foreach (var price in priceStream)
{
var result = bbw.Update(price);
Console.WriteLine($"BBW: {result.Value:P2}"); // e.g., "BBW: 5.23%"
}
// Batch processing
var prices = new TSeries();
// ... populate prices ...
var bbwSeries = Bbw.Calculate(prices, period: 20, multiplier: 2.0);
// Squeeze detection
var bbw20 = new Bbw(20, 2.0);
var recentBbw = new List<double>();
foreach (var price in prices)
{
var result = bbw20.Update(price);
recentBbw.Add(result.Value);
// Check for squeeze (BBW below 6-month low)
if (recentBbw.Count > 126)
{
double sixMonthLow = recentBbw.Skip(recentBbw.Count - 126).Min();
if (result.Value <= sixMonthLow * 1.05)
{
Console.WriteLine("Squeeze detected!");
}
}
}
// Event-driven chaining
var source = new TSeries();
var bbw = new Bbw(source, period: 20, multiplier: 2.0);
// BBW updates automatically when prices are added to source
```
## C# Implementation Considerations
### Delegation to SMA and StdDev
BBW composes two internal indicators:
```csharp
private readonly Sma _sma;
private readonly Stddev _stddev;
private readonly double _mult;
```
This reuses existing SMA and StdDev implementations with their warmup and state management.
### Core Calculation
```csharp
[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
public TValue Update(TValue input, bool isNew = true)
{
_sma.Update(input, isNew);
_stddev.Update(input, isNew);
double smaValue = _sma.Last.Value;
double stdValue = _stddev.Last.Value;
// Guard against division by zero
double bbw = smaValue > 0 ? (2.0 * _mult * stdValue) / smaValue : 0.0;
return new TValue(input.Time, bbw);
}
```
### Memory Layout
| Component | Size | Purpose |
| :-------- | ---: | :------ |
| `_sma` (Sma) | ~48 + N×8 bytes | SMA with circular buffer |
| `_stddev` (Stddev) | ~48 + N×8 bytes | StdDev with circular buffer |
| `_mult` | 8 bytes | Multiplier constant |
| **Total per instance** | **~104 + 2N×8 bytes** | Period-dependent |
For default N=20: approximately 424 bytes per instance.

# BBWN: Bollinger Band Width Normalized
> "Normalization transforms volatility chaos into comparable signals."
Bollinger Band Width Normalized (BBWN) extends the standard BBW by normalizing it to a [0,1] range based on historical minimum and maximum values over a lookback period. This normalization enables better comparison across different timeframes, instruments, and market conditions, making it easier to identify relative volatility levels consistently.
## Historical Context
While Bollinger Band Width (BBW) effectively measures volatility expansion and contraction, its absolute values can vary dramatically across different assets and timeframes. A BBW of 0.05 might be low for a volatile stock but high for a stable bond. BBWN solves this problem by creating a normalized scale.
The normalization concept comes from technical analysis standardization techniques, similar to those used in oscillators like RSI or Stochastic. By tracking the historical range of BBW values and expressing the current BBW as a position within that range, BBWN provides a consistent 0-100% scale where:
- 0% = Lowest volatility in the lookback period (maximum squeeze)
- 100% = Highest volatility in the lookback period (maximum expansion)
- 50% = Mid-range volatility when no historical range exists
## Architecture & Physics
BBWN builds upon BBW calculation and adds historical normalization:
### Step 1: Standard BBW Calculation
$$
BBW_t = \frac{2k \times \sigma_t}{SMA_t}
$$
Where:
- $k$: Multiplier (default 2.0)
- $\sigma_t$: Standard deviation at time $t$
- $SMA_t$: Simple moving average at time $t$
### Step 2: Historical Min/Max Tracking
For a lookback period $L$ (default 252), track:
$$
BBW_{min} = \min(BBW_{t-L+1}, ..., BBW_t)
$$
$$
BBW_{max} = \max(BBW_{t-L+1}, ..., BBW_t)
$$
### Step 3: Normalization
$$
BBWN_t = \begin{cases}
\frac{BBW_t - BBW_{min}}{BBW_{max} - BBW_{min}} & \text{if } BBW_{max} > BBW_{min} \\
0.5 & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
$$
The result is clamped to $[0, 1]$ to ensure bounds.
## Implementation Features
### Performance Optimizations
1. **O(1) BBW Calculation**: Uses running variance with sum-of-squares method
2. **Circular Buffers**: Both price data and BBW history use ring buffers
3. **Incremental Min/Max**: Recalculates min/max only when necessary
4. **Resync Protection**: Periodically recalculates sums to prevent drift
### Data Integrity
- **NaN/Infinity Handling**: Invalid inputs use last valid value
- **Zero Division Protection**: Handles constant price sequences
- **Numerical Stability**: Uses epsilon checks for floating-point comparisons
## Usage Examples
### Basic Setup
```csharp
// Default: 20-period BBW, 2.0 multiplier, 252-day lookback
var bbwn = new Bbwn(20, 2.0, 252);
foreach (var price in prices)
{
var result = bbwn.Update(new TValue(DateTime.Now, price));
Console.WriteLine($"BBWN: {result.Value:F4}");
}
```
### Custom Parameters
```csharp
// Short-term squeeze detection: 10-period, 1.5 multiplier, 50-day lookback
var shortTermBbwn = new Bbwn(10, 1.5, 50);
// Long-term volatility: 50-period, 2.5 multiplier, 500-day lookback
var longTermBbwn = new Bbwn(50, 2.5, 500);
```
### Batch Processing
```csharp
var source = new TSeries(times, prices);
var bbwnSeries = Bbwn.Calculate(source, period: 20, multiplier: 2.0, lookback: 252);
for (int i = 0; i < bbwnSeries.Count; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine($"{bbwnSeries.Times[i]}: {bbwnSeries.Values[i]:F4}");
}
```
## Trading Applications
### Volatility Regime Detection
```csharp
if (bbwn.Last.Value < 0.2)
{
Console.WriteLine("Low volatility regime - potential squeeze");
}
else if (bbwn.Last.Value > 0.8)
{
Console.WriteLine("High volatility regime - potential reversal zone");
}
```
### Breakout Confirmation
```csharp
var previousBbwn = bbwn.Last.Value;
// ... update with new price ...
var currentBbwn = bbwn.Last.Value;
if (previousBbwn < 0.3 && currentBbwn > 0.5)
{
Console.WriteLine("Volatility expansion - potential breakout confirmed");
}
```
### Multi-Timeframe Analysis
```csharp
var dailyBbwn = new Bbwn(20, 2.0, 252); // Daily squeeze
var hourlyBbwn = new Bbwn(20, 2.0, 252); // Hourly expansion
// Trade when daily is squeezed but hourly is expanding
if (dailyBbwn.Last.Value < 0.2 && hourlyBbwn.Last.Value > 0.6)
{
Console.WriteLine("Multi-timeframe breakout setup");
}
```
## Key Characteristics
### Advantages
- **Scale Independence**: Normalized values work across all instruments
- **Historical Context**: Compares current volatility to recent history
- **Consistent Signals**: 0-100% scale enables consistent thresholds
- **Regime Detection**: Clearly identifies volatility regimes
### Limitations
- **Lookback Dependency**: Normalization quality depends on lookback period
- **Lag**: Historical normalization adds slight lag to signals
- **Range Bound**: Extreme volatility may still be constrained to [0,1]
- **Parameter Sensitivity**: Multiple parameters need optimization
## Parameter Guidelines
| Parameter | Typical Range | Default | Purpose |
|-----------|---------------|---------|---------|
| Period | 5-50 | 20 | BBW calculation period |
| Multiplier | 1.0-3.0 | 2.0 | Band width scaling |
| Lookback | 50-500 | 252 | Historical normalization range |
### Period Selection
- **Short (5-15)**: Sensitive to recent volatility changes
- **Medium (16-30)**: Balanced sensitivity and stability
- **Long (31-50)**: Smoother, longer-term volatility trends
### Lookback Selection
- **Short (50-100)**: More responsive to regime changes
- **Medium (150-300)**: Balanced historical context
- **Long (400+)**: Stable long-term perspective
## Mathematical Properties
### Range and Bounds
- **Output Range**: $[0, 1]$ by design
- **Convergence**: Values stabilize after lookback period
- **Monotonicity**: Not guaranteed due to normalization updates
### Statistical Properties
- **Distribution**: Depends on underlying price process
- **Mean Reversion**: Normalization creates artificial mean reversion
- **Serial Correlation**: Inherits from underlying BBW
## Alternative Formulations
### Percentile-Based Normalization
Instead of min/max, use percentiles for robustness:
$$
BBWN_t = \frac{BBW_t - P_{10}(BBW)}{P_{90}(BBW) - P_{10}(BBW)}
$$
### Z-Score Normalization
Standardize BBW using mean and standard deviation:
$$
BBWN_t = \frac{BBW_t - \mu_{BBW}}{\sigma_{BBW}}
$$
### Exponential Smoothing
Weight recent history more heavily:
$$
BBWN_t = \frac{BBW_t - EMA_{min}(BBW)}{EMA_{max}(BBW) - EMA_{min}(BBW)}
$$
## Implementation Notes
### Edge Cases
1. **Constant Prices**: When BBW is always zero, BBWN defaults to 0.5
2. **Single Value**: With only one BBW value, BBWN returns 0.5
3. **Numerical Precision**: Uses epsilon comparisons for floating-point safety
### Performance Considerations
- **Memory Usage**: O(period + lookback) for circular buffers
- **CPU Complexity**: O(1) per update, O(lookback) for min/max search
- **Batch Processing**: Optimized vectorized calculations available
BBWN transforms absolute volatility measurements into relative, comparable signals that work consistently across different market conditions and instruments. The normalization provides context that pure BBW cannot offer, making it particularly valuable for systematic trading strategies that need consistent volatility thresholds.

# BBWP: Bollinger Band Width Percentile
> "Where does current volatility rank in the historical distribution? BBWP answers with a percentile."
BBWP (Bollinger Band Width Percentile) measures where the current Bollinger Band Width falls within its historical distribution, expressing the result as a percentile rank between 0 and 1. Unlike BBWN which normalizes using min/max values, BBWP uses percentile ranking which is more robust to outliers.
## Historical Context
BBWP evolved from the need for a more statistically robust volatility indicator than simple min/max normalization. While BBWN can be heavily influenced by a single extreme BBW value in the lookback period, BBWP counts how many historical values fall below the current reading, providing a true percentile rank that is less sensitive to outliers.
The percentile approach aligns with standard statistical practice for comparing a value to a distribution, making BBWP particularly useful for:
- Identifying volatility regime changes
- Setting dynamic stop-loss levels based on historical volatility context
- Generating signals when volatility reaches extreme percentiles (e.g., below 10th or above 90th percentile)
## Architecture & Physics
### 1. BBW Calculation (inherited from BBW)
$$
BBW_t = 2 \cdot k \cdot \sigma_t
$$
where:
- $k$ = standard deviation multiplier (default 2.0)
- $\sigma_t$ = population standard deviation over period $n$
### 2. Percentile Ranking
$$
BBWP_t = \frac{\text{count}(BBW_i < BBW_t)}{N}
$$
where:
- $BBW_i$ = historical BBW values in the lookback window
- $N$ = total count of BBW values in lookback
- The count includes only values strictly less than $BBW_t$
### 3. Edge Cases
When insufficient history exists ($N < 2$), BBWP returns 0.5 (median) as a neutral default.
## Mathematical Foundation
### Standard Deviation (Population)
$$
\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - \bar{x})^2}
$$
Using Welford's running algorithm:
$$
\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum x^2}{n} - \left(\frac{\sum x}{n}\right)^2}
$$
### Percentile Rank Formula
For a value $v$ in a dataset of $N$ values:
$$
\text{Percentile} = \frac{\text{count of values} < v}{N}
$$
This is the "exclusive" percentile definition (values strictly less than $v$).
## Performance Profile
### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, per bar)
| Operation | Count | Notes |
|:---|:---:|:---|
| ADD/SUB | 4 | Running sum/sumSq update |
| MUL | 2 | Square calculations |
| DIV | 3 | Mean, variance, percentile |
| SQRT | 1 | Standard deviation |
| CMP | L | Lookback comparisons for percentile |
| **Total** | **~L+10** | Dominated by lookback size |
where L = lookback period (default 252)
### Quality Metrics
| Metric | Score | Notes |
|:---|:---:|:---|
| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact percentile calculation |
| **Robustness** | 9/10 | More outlier-resistant than BBWN |
| **Timeliness** | 8/10 | Reflects current position in distribution |
| **Interpretability** | 10/10 | True statistical percentile |
## Validation
| Library | Status | Notes |
|:---|:---:|:---|
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **Skender** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **Tulip** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **Ooples** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **Internal** | ✅ | Validated against PineScript reference |
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Interpretation difference from BBWN**: BBWP of 0.80 means 80% of historical BBW values were lower, not that BBW is at 80% of its range. These can differ significantly when the distribution is skewed.
2. **Lookback period impact**: Shorter lookbacks (e.g., 50) respond faster but may miss longer-term volatility regimes. Standard practice uses 252 (trading days in a year) for daily data.
3. **Warmup period**: Requires period + lookback bars for statistically meaningful percentiles. Early values default to 0.5.
4. **Zero volatility**: When all prices are identical, BBW=0 and the percentile of 0 among all 0s is 0 (nothing is below 0).
5. **Computational cost**: The percentile calculation requires O(L) comparisons per bar, which can be noticeable for very large lookback values.
6. **Distribution assumptions**: BBWP makes no assumptions about the underlying distribution of BBW values, which is both a strength (non-parametric) and a consideration (may not capture extreme tail behavior well).

# CCV: Close-to-Close Volatility
> "The simplest volatility measure is often the most robust—when all you have is closing prices, make the most of them."
Close-to-Close Volatility (CCV) calculates the annualized standard deviation of logarithmic returns using only closing prices. This is the foundational volatility measure in quantitative finance, serving as a benchmark against which more sophisticated estimators are compared. The implementation supports three smoothing methods (SMA, EMA, WMA) and annualizes using the standard √252 factor for daily data.
## Historical Context
Close-to-close volatility has been the workhorse of volatility estimation since the earliest days of quantitative finance. Its simplicity—requiring only closing prices—made it practical for analysis when intraday data was unavailable or expensive. While modern volatility estimators like Parkinson (1980), Garman-Klass (1980), and Yang-Zhang (2000) leverage high/low/open data for improved efficiency, CCV remains the standard reference point.
The mathematical foundation rests on the assumption that log returns follow a normal distribution with constant volatility over the estimation window. When this assumption holds, CCV is the maximum likelihood estimator. When it doesn't (which is most of the time in real markets), CCV still provides a reasonable baseline that's easy to interpret and compare across assets.
## Architecture & Physics
### 1. Log Return Calculation
The first step converts prices to continuously compounded returns:
$$
r_t = \ln\left(\frac{C_t}{C_{t-1}}\right)
$$
where:
- $C_t$ = closing price at time $t$
- $r_t$ = log return at time $t$
Log returns are preferred over simple returns because they're additive over time and symmetric (a +10% gain followed by -10% loss returns to approximately the original value).
### 2. Population Standard Deviation
The volatility is calculated as the population standard deviation of returns:
$$
\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(r_i - \bar{r})^2}
$$
where:
- $n$ = number of observations in the period
- $\bar{r}$ = mean of log returns over the period
Using population (n) rather than sample (n-1) variance provides consistency with the PineScript reference implementation.
### 3. Annualization
Daily volatility is scaled to annual terms:
$$
\sigma_{annual} = \sigma_{daily} \times \sqrt{252}
$$
The factor 252 represents the typical number of trading days in a year. This annualization assumes:
- Returns are independent and identically distributed
- Variance scales linearly with time
### 4. Smoothing Methods
Three smoothing options are available:
**Method 1 - SMA (Simple Moving Average):**
Reports the raw annualized standard deviation—no additional smoothing.
**Method 2 - EMA/RMA with Warmup Compensation:**
$$
\text{raw}_t = \beta \cdot \text{raw}_{t-1} + \alpha \cdot \sigma_t
$$
$$
e_t = e_{t-1} \cdot \beta
$$
$$
\text{CCV}_t = \begin{cases}
\frac{\text{raw}_t}{1 - e_t} & \text{if } e_t > \epsilon \\
\text{raw}_t & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
$$
where $\alpha = 1/\text{period}$, $\beta = 1 - \alpha$, and the compensation term $(1 - e_t)$ corrects for the bias during warmup.
**Method 3 - WMA (Weighted Moving Average):**
Applies triangular weights to the annualized volatility values, giving more influence to recent observations.
## Mathematical Foundation
### Log Return Properties
For a stock with price $S_t$ following geometric Brownian motion:
$$
dS_t = \mu S_t dt + \sigma S_t dW_t
$$
The log return over interval $\Delta t$ is:
$$
r = \ln(S_{t+\Delta t}/S_t) \sim N\left((\mu - \frac{\sigma^2}{2})\Delta t, \sigma^2 \Delta t\right)
$$
This means:
- Expected log return ≈ $\mu \Delta t$ (for small $\sigma$)
- Variance of log return = $\sigma^2 \Delta t$
- Standard deviation = $\sigma \sqrt{\Delta t}$
### Annualization Derivation
If daily volatility is $\sigma_d$ and we assume independence:
$$
\text{Var}[\text{annual return}] = 252 \times \text{Var}[\text{daily return}]
$$
Therefore:
$$
\sigma_a = \sqrt{252} \times \sigma_d \approx 15.875 \times \sigma_d
$$
### Efficiency Analysis
CCV uses only closing prices, discarding intraday information. Compared to range-based estimators:
| Estimator | Efficiency vs CCV | Data Required |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| Close-to-Close (CCV) | 1.0 | Close only |
| Parkinson | ~5.0× | High, Low |
| Garman-Klass | ~7.4× | OHLC |
| Yang-Zhang | ~8.0× | OHLC + overnight |
"Efficiency" measures how much faster the estimator converges to the true volatility. Higher is better, but requires more data.
## Performance Profile
### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar)
Per-bar operations for SMA method:
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| DIV | 1 | 15 | 15 |
| LOG | 1 | 50 | 50 |
| ADD/SUB | ~2n | 1 | ~2n |
| MUL | n | 3 | 3n |
| SQRT | 1 | 15 | 15 |
| **Total** | — | — | **~80 + 5n cycles** |
For period=20: approximately 180 cycles per bar.
### Quality Metrics
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **Accuracy** | 6/10 | Unbiased but inefficient vs range-based |
| **Timeliness** | 8/10 | Direct calculation, no smoothing delay |
| **Robustness** | 9/10 | Only needs closing prices |
| **Simplicity** | 10/10 | Foundational measure |
| **Comparability** | 10/10 | Universal standard |
## Validation
CCV is a standard volatility measure implemented consistently across platforms:
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | No direct equivalent |
| **Skender** | N/A | Uses different approach |
| **Manual** | ✅ | Validated against hand calculations |
| **PineScript** | ✅ | Matches reference implementation |
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Assuming normality**: Real returns have fat tails. CCV underestimates the frequency of extreme moves.
2. **Ignoring overnight gaps**: For assets with significant overnight risk (stocks), CCV captures this but range-based estimators may not.
3. **Period selection**: Too short = noisy; too long = slow to adapt. 20 days is a common default for daily data.
4. **Annualization factor**: Use 252 for daily equity data, but consider:
- Crypto: 365 (trades every day)
- Forex: ~252 (variable by pair)
- Commodities: ~252 (check specific contract)
5. **Mean assumption**: The calculation assumes mean return ≈ 0 over short periods. For trending markets, this introduces slight bias.
6. **Smoothing trade-offs**:
- Method 1 (SMA): Most responsive, noisiest
- Method 2 (EMA): Smoothest, has lag
- Method 3 (WMA): Compromise between responsiveness and smoothness
