Add Yang-Zhang Volatility (YZV) Indicator Implementation

- Introduced YZV class for calculating Yang-Zhang Volatility, a comprehensive volatility measure that incorporates overnight, open-to-close, and high-low components.
- Implemented calculation methods, including batch processing for TBarSeries and spans.
- Added documentation for YZV, detailing its mathematical foundation, performance profile, and trading applications.
- Updated volume index documentation to reflect changes in file paths.
- Refactored VWMA calculation method to use a more generic source parameter instead of price.

**Pro Tip:** Start with the default settings (period=20, multiplier=2.0) and adjust based on your trading timeframe and market conditions. For intraday trading on choppy markets, consider period=30 with multiplier=1.8 for more frequent signals. For daily charts in range-bound markets, period=20 with multiplier=2.2 provides reliable reversal points. Always combine with a trend filter (ADX < 30) to avoid using the APZ in strongly trending conditions where it may generate false signals.

For fixed analysis, 40 bars works well for daily charts (approximates a 2-month cycle). The quarter-cycle EMA (P/4 = 10) responds to short-term moves while the half-cycle EMA (P/2 = 20) provides the baseline, creating the band-pass effect.

The I and Q components can be used to calculate amplitude (cycle strength), phase (cycle position), and instantaneous frequency. When I and Q oscillate with constant magnitude, the market is in a strong cyclical mode. When their magnitudes vary significantly, the market may be transitioning between cycle and trend modes.

# ACF: Autocorrelation Function
> "The past doesn't predict the future, but it whispers patterns to those who listen."
The Autocorrelation Function (ACF) measures the correlation of a time series with a lagged copy of itself. It is fundamental for identifying repeating patterns, seasonal effects, and determining the order of time series models like ARMA/ARIMA.
## Historical Context
Autocorrelation was formalized by statisticians in the early 20th century, with key contributions from Udny Yule (1927) and Gilbert Walker. The concept became central to time series analysis with Box and Jenkins' influential 1970 work on ARIMA models.
In financial markets, ACF reveals whether past returns predict future returns. A significant positive ACF at lag 1 suggests momentum; significant negative ACF suggests mean reversion. White noise (truly random data) should exhibit near-zero ACF at all lags.
## Architecture & Physics
The ACF indicator uses a sliding window (RingBuffer) to maintain the last `N` data points. While the theoretical formula suggests O(N) complexity per update, the implementation employs running sums where possible and periodic resynchronization to manage floating-point drift.
### Core Components
1. **RingBuffer**: Maintains the sliding window of `period` values
2. **Running Sums**: Tracks sum and sum of squares for mean/variance calculation
3. **Autocovariance Calculation**: Computes correlation at the specified lag
4. **Resync Mechanism**: Recalculates sums every 1000 updates to prevent drift
## Mathematical Foundation
### Autocorrelation Coefficient
The ACF at lag $k$ is defined as:
$$ r_k = \frac{\gamma_k}{\gamma_0} $$
where:
* $\gamma_k$ is the autocovariance at lag $k$
* $\gamma_0$ is the variance (autocovariance at lag 0)
### Autocovariance at Lag k
$$ \gamma_k = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{t=k+1}^{n} (x_t - \mu)(x_{t-k} - \mu) $$
where:
* $n$ is the sample size (period)
* $\mu$ is the sample mean
* $x_t$ is the value at time $t$
* $x_{t-k}$ is the value at time $t-k$
### Variance (Autocovariance at Lag 0)
$$ \gamma_0 = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{t=1}^{n} (x_t - \mu)^2 $$
### Properties
* $r_0 = 1$ (correlation with itself at lag 0)
* $-1 \leq r_k \leq 1$ for all $k$
* $r_k = r_{-k}$ (symmetry)
* For stationary processes, ACF decays towards zero as lag increases
* For MA(q) processes, ACF cuts off after lag $q$
* For AR(p) processes, ACF decays exponentially or sinusoidally
### AR(1) Process Example
For an AR(1) process $X_t = \phi X_{t-1} + \epsilon_t$:
$$ r_k = \phi^k $$
This means ACF decays geometrically at rate $\phi$.
## Performance Profile
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Throughput** | ~50 ns/bar | Autocovariance loop required |
| **Allocations** | 0 | Zero-allocation in hot path |
| **Complexity** | O(period) | Due to autocovariance calculation |
| **Accuracy** | 8 | Good accuracy with biased estimator; resync prevents drift |
### Operation Count (per update)
| Operation | Count | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| ADD/SUB | ~3N | Mean, variance, autocovariance |
| MUL | ~2N | Squared deviations, cross products |
| DIV | 3 | Mean, variance, final ratio |
## Validation
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not available in TA-Lib |
| **Skender** | N/A | Not available in Skender |
| **Mathematical** | ✅ | Validated against AR(1) theoretical values |
ACF is validated through mathematical properties:
- Bounded output [-1, 1]
- Constant series returns 0 (no correlation beyond lag 0)
- Alternating sequence produces negative ACF
- AR(1) process produces ACF ≈ φ^k
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Period vs Lag Constraint**: Period must be greater than `lag + 1`. Common mistake is setting period = lag, which produces undefined results.
2. **Warmup Period**: ACF requires a full window (`period` values) to be meaningful. Values during warmup may be unreliable.
3. **Non-Stationarity**: ACF assumes stationarity. Trending data should be differenced first.
4. **Significance Testing**: ACF values should be tested against confidence bounds. For white noise, 95% confidence bounds are approximately $\pm 1.96/\sqrt{n}$.
5. **Lag Selection**: Higher lags require larger periods for statistical significance. Rule of thumb: period ≥ 4 × lag.
## Usage
```csharp
using QuanTAlib;
// Create a 20-period ACF indicator with lag 1
var acf = new Acf(period: 20, lag: 1);
// Update with new values
var result = acf.Update(new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 100.0));
// Access the last calculated ACF value
Console.WriteLine($"ACF(1): {acf.Last.Value}");
// Chained usage
var source = new TSeries();
var acfChained = new Acf(source, period: 20, lag: 1);
// Static batch calculation
var output = Acf.Calculate(source, period: 20, lag: 1);
// Span-based calculation
Span<double> outputSpan = stackalloc double[source.Count];
Acf.Batch(source.Values, outputSpan, period: 20, lag: 1);
```
## Applications
### ARIMA Model Identification
ACF patterns help identify the order of MA components:
- Sharp cutoff after lag q suggests MA(q)
- Gradual decay suggests AR component
### Mean Reversion Detection
Negative ACF at lag 1 suggests mean-reverting behavior, useful for pairs trading strategies.
### Seasonality Detection
Significant ACF at seasonal lags (e.g., lag 12 for monthly data with annual seasonality) indicates periodic patterns.
### Random Walk Testing
A random walk should have ACF ≈ 0 at all lags. Significant ACF values indicate predictable structure.

# Bias: Price Deviation from Moving Average
> "When traders ask 'how overbought is it?', they're really asking how far price has strayed from its anchor. Bias answers that question in percentage terms, telling you whether the current price is 5% above or 10% below its moving average. It's the market's stretch marks made visible."
The Bias indicator measures the percentage difference between the current price and its Simple Moving Average (SMA). A positive bias indicates price is above the average (potentially overbought), while negative bias suggests price is below average (potentially oversold). This is one of the simplest yet most effective tools for identifying mean-reversion opportunities.
## Historical Context
Bias (also known as "Rate of Change from MA" or "Price Oscillator Percentage") has been used by traders since the early days of technical analysis. The concept is straightforward: prices tend to oscillate around their moving averages, and extreme deviations often precede reversions.
In TradingView's PineScript, this indicator is known simply as "Bias" and represents the normalized distance between price and its moving average. Unlike momentum oscillators that measure price change over time, Bias measures price deviation from a smoothed reference point.
## Architecture & Physics
### The Mean-Reversion Foundation
Markets exhibit mean-reversion tendencies across multiple timeframes. When price deviates significantly from its moving average, several forces conspire to pull it back:
1. **Value Seekers**: Buyers appear when price falls too far below average
2. **Profit Taking**: Sellers emerge when price rises too far above average
3. **Statistical Gravity**: Extreme deviations are by definition unsustainable
Bias quantifies this deviation in normalized (percentage) terms, making it comparable across different price scales.
### Calculation Formula
The Bias is computed as:
$$\text{Bias} = \frac{P - \text{SMA}}{\text{SMA}} = \frac{P}{\text{SMA}} - 1$$
Where:
* $P$ = Current price
* $\text{SMA}$ = Simple Moving Average over the specified period
This formula normalizes the deviation as a ratio, expressing it as a decimal. A Bias of 0.05 means price is 5% above the SMA; a Bias of -0.10 means price is 10% below.
### O(1) Streaming Implementation
Rather than recalculating the SMA from scratch each tick, this implementation maintains a running sum with RingBuffer:
```csharp
// Efficient sliding window sum
_sum = _sum - oldValue + newValue;
double sma = _sum / Period;
double bias = (currentPrice / sma) - 1.0;
```
This achieves constant-time updates regardless of period length.
## Mathematical Foundation
### 1. Simple Moving Average
$$\text{SMA}_t = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} P_{t-i}$$
Where $n$ is the period and $P_t$ is the price at time $t$.
### 2. Bias Calculation
$$\text{Bias}_t = \frac{P_t - \text{SMA}_t}{\text{SMA}_t}$$
Equivalently:
$$\text{Bias}_t = \frac{P_t}{\text{SMA}_t} - 1$$
### 3. Relationship to Price
Given the Bias value, you can recover the implied SMA:
$$\text{SMA}_t = \frac{P_t}{1 + \text{Bias}_t}$$
### 4. Boundary Behavior
* When $P_t = \text{SMA}_t$: $\text{Bias} = 0$
* When $P_t > \text{SMA}_t$: $\text{Bias} > 0$
* When $P_t < \text{SMA}_t$: $\text{Bias} < 0$
* When $\text{SMA}_t = 0$: $\text{Bias} = 0$ (division guard)
## Performance Profile
### Operation Count (Streaming Mode)
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| ADD/SUB | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| MUL | 0 | 3 | 0 |
| DIV | 2 | 15 | 30 |
| Buffer Access | 2 | 3 | 6 |
| **Total** | **7** | — | **~39 cycles** |
Division dominates the cost (two divisions: one for SMA, one for bias ratio).
### Quality Metrics
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact formula, no approximation |
| **Timeliness** | 7/10 | Inherits SMA lag |
| **Smoothness** | 8/10 | SMA provides inherent smoothing |
| **Interpretability** | 10/10 | Direct percentage meaning |
## Validation
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | No direct equivalent |
| **Skender** | N/A | No direct equivalent |
| **Tulip** | N/A | No direct equivalent |
| **TradingView** | ✅ | Matches PineScript Bias indicator |
| **Mathematical** | ✅ | Validated against manual calculation |
## Use Cases
### 1. Mean-Reversion Trading
* **Long Entry**: Bias < -0.05 (price 5%+ below SMA)
* **Short Entry**: Bias > 0.05 (price 5%+ above SMA)
* **Exit**: Bias returns toward zero
### 2. Trend Confirmation
Persistent positive Bias confirms uptrend; persistent negative confirms downtrend.
### 3. Overbought/Oversold Detection
Extreme Bias values (e.g., ±10%) suggest extended conditions ripe for reversal.
### 4. Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Compare Bias across different periods to identify nested mean-reversion setups.
## API Usage
### Streaming Mode
```csharp
var bias = new Bias(period: 20);
foreach (var price in prices)
{
var result = bias.Update(new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, price));
Console.WriteLine($"Bias: {result.Value:P2}"); // e.g., "Bias: 3.45%"
}
```
### Batch Mode
```csharp
var series = new TSeries();
// ... populate series ...
var results = Bias.Batch(series, period: 20);
```
### Span Mode (Zero Allocation)
```csharp
double[] input = new double[1000];
double[] output = new double[1000];
// ... populate input ...
Bias.Batch(input.AsSpan(), output.AsSpan(), period: 20);
```
### Event-Driven Mode
```csharp
var source = new TSeries();
var bias = new Bias(source, period: 20);
// Bias automatically updates when source publishes
source.Add(new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 100.0));
```
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Interpreting Raw Values**: Bias of 0.05 means 5%, not 0.05%. Display as percentage or multiply by 100 for human consumption.
2. **Period Selection**: Shorter periods (10-20) respond faster but generate more noise. Longer periods (50-200) are smoother but lag more.
3. **Asymmetric Interpretation**: A +10% Bias doesn't necessarily have the same significance as -10% Bias due to asymmetric price distributions.
4. **Division by Zero**: When SMA is zero (rare but possible with price data starting at zero), the indicator returns 0 as a safeguard.
5. **Not a Standalone Signal**: Extreme Bias suggests potential reversal but doesn't guarantee it. Prices can stay overbought/oversold longer than expected.
6. **Warmup Period**: The indicator needs `period` bars to reach full window. Before that, it uses a growing window for calculation.
## When to Use Bias
**Use it when:**
* You want a simple, interpretable overbought/oversold measure
* Mean-reversion strategies are your focus
* You need to compare deviation across instruments with different price scales
* Quick assessment of price extension from average
**Skip it when:**
* You need trend-following signals (use moving average crossovers instead)
* Strong trending markets where mean-reversion fails
* You prefer momentum-based indicators (RSI, ROC)
* Price data starts at or crosses zero

# Cointegration: Engle-Granger Two-Step Cointegration Test
> "Correlation tells you they move together. Cointegration tells you they're bound together. Two stocks can be uncorrelated yet cointegrated, or perfectly correlated yet destined to drift apart forever. The difference between 'similar direction' and 'shared destiny' is the difference between a tourist attraction and a gravitational orbit."
The Cointegration indicator measures the long-run equilibrium relationship between two price series using the Engle-Granger two-step method with an Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test. Unlike correlation, which measures short-term co-movement, cointegration tests whether two non-stationary series share a common stochastic trend—meaning they may diverge temporarily but are statistically bound to revert to their equilibrium relationship.
## Historical Context
Cointegration was developed by Nobel laureates Clive Granger and Robert Engle in the 1980s, fundamentally changing how economists and traders think about relationships between time series. Their work addressed a critical problem: traditional regression on non-stationary data (like stock prices) produces spurious results—apparent relationships that are statistically meaningless.
The Engle-Granger (1987) two-step method remains the most widely used approach:
1. Estimate the cointegrating regression
2. Test the residuals for stationarity using the ADF test
This implementation follows the PineScript reference implementation, adapting the algorithm for O(1) streaming updates using running sums and ring buffers.
## Architecture & Physics
### The Mean-Reversion Mechanism
Cointegrated series exhibit an error-correction mechanism: when they diverge from equilibrium, market forces conspire to pull them back. This differs fundamentally from correlation:
| Property | Correlation | Cointegration |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Measures** | Direction similarity | Long-run equilibrium |
| **Horizon** | Short-term | Long-term |
| **Stability** | Can vary over time | Structural relationship |
| **Trading implication** | Momentum | Mean-reversion |
### 1. Linear Regression Component
The first step estimates the equilibrium relationship:
$$A_t = \alpha + \beta \cdot B_t + \epsilon_t$$
Where:
- $\alpha$ = intercept (hedge ratio offset)
- $\beta$ = slope coefficient (hedge ratio)
- $\epsilon_t$ = residual (spread)
The regression coefficients are derived from correlation and standard deviations:
$$\beta = \rho_{AB} \cdot \frac{\sigma_A}{\sigma_B}$$
$$\alpha = \bar{A} - \beta \cdot \bar{B}$$
### 2. Residual Calculation
The spread (residual) represents the deviation from equilibrium:
$$\epsilon_t = A_t - (\alpha + \beta \cdot B_t)$$
For cointegrated series, this spread should be stationary (mean-reverting).
### 3. Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test
The ADF test checks if residuals are stationary by testing for a unit root:
$$\Delta\epsilon_t = \gamma \cdot \epsilon_{t-1} + u_t$$
Where:
- $\Delta\epsilon_t = \epsilon_t - \epsilon_{t-1}$ (first difference)
- $\gamma$ = coefficient indicating mean-reversion speed
- $u_t$ = regression error
The ADF statistic is:
$$\text{ADF} = \frac{\gamma}{\text{SE}(\gamma)}$$
Where $\text{SE}(\gamma) = \sqrt{\frac{\text{Var}(u)}{\text{Var}(\epsilon_{t-1})}}$
### 4. Interpretation
| ADF Statistic | Interpretation |
| :---: | :--- |
| < -3.43 | Strong cointegration (1% significance) |
| < -2.86 | Cointegration (5% significance) |
| < -2.57 | Weak cointegration (10% significance) |
| > -2.57 | No evidence of cointegration |
More negative values indicate stronger evidence that the series share a long-run equilibrium.
## Mathematical Foundation
### Running Statistics for O(1) Updates
This implementation maintains running sums for efficient streaming computation:
**Means:**
$$\bar{A} = \frac{\sum A_i}{n}, \quad \bar{B} = \frac{\sum B_i}{n}$$
**Variances:**
$$\sigma_A^2 = \frac{\sum A_i^2}{n} - \bar{A}^2, \quad \sigma_B^2 = \frac{\sum B_i^2}{n} - \bar{B}^2$$
**Covariance:**
$$\text{Cov}(A, B) = \frac{\sum A_i B_i}{n} - \bar{A} \cdot \bar{B}$$
**Correlation:**
$$\rho_{AB} = \frac{\text{Cov}(A, B)}{\sigma_A \cdot \sigma_B}$$
### ADF Regression Statistics
The gamma coefficient is computed using running sums over period-1 observations:
$$\gamma = \frac{\text{Cov}(\Delta\epsilon, \epsilon_{t-1})}{\text{Var}(\epsilon_{t-1})}$$
**Standard Error:**
$$\text{SE}(\gamma)^2 = \frac{\sum(u_t)^2 / n}{\text{Var}(\epsilon_{t-1})}$$
where $u_t = \Delta\epsilon_t - \gamma \cdot \epsilon_{t-1}$
## Performance Profile
### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar)
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| ADD/SUB | 25 | 1 | 25 |
| MUL | 12 | 3 | 36 |
| DIV | 8 | 15 | 120 |
| SQRT | 3 | 15 | 45 |
| Buffer Access | 8 | 3 | 24 |
| FMA | 8 | 4 | 32 |
| **Total** | **64** | — | **~282 cycles** |
Division and square root operations dominate the cost profile.
### Memory Footprint
| Component | Size |
| :--- | :--- |
| Main buffers (2× period) | 16 × period bytes |
| ADF buffers (2× period-1) | 16 × (period-1) bytes |
| Running sums | 80 bytes |
| State variables | 64 bytes |
| **Total per instance** | **~32 × period + 144 bytes** |
For period=20: ~784 bytes per indicator instance.
### Quality Metrics
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **Accuracy** | 9/10 | Matches Engle-Granger methodology |
| **Timeliness** | 6/10 | Requires full period for stable estimates |
| **Robustness** | 8/10 | Handles edge cases (NaN, zero variance) |
| **Interpretability** | 7/10 | Requires understanding critical values |
## Validation
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | No cointegration implementation |
| **Skender** | N/A | No cointegration implementation |
| **Tulip** | N/A | No cointegration implementation |
| **Ooples** | N/A | No cointegration implementation |
| **TradingView** | ✅ | Matches PineScript reference implementation |
| **Statistical** | ✅ | Validated against expected properties |
Note: Cointegration is typically found in econometrics packages (statsmodels, R's urca) rather than TA libraries. This implementation focuses on streaming computation suitable for real-time trading.
## Use Cases
### 1. Pairs Trading
Identify cointegrated pairs for mean-reversion strategies:
- **Entry**: When spread deviates significantly from mean
- **Exit**: When spread reverts to equilibrium
- **Stop**: When cointegration breaks down
### 2. Statistical Arbitrage
Build market-neutral portfolios using cointegrated baskets:
- Long undervalued leg, short overvalued leg
- Position sizing based on hedge ratio (β)
### 3. Risk Management
Monitor cointegration stability:
- Degrading ADF statistics signal relationship breakdown
- Adjust positions before pairs diverge permanently
### 4. Index Tracking
Construct synthetic indices from cointegrated components:
- Track expensive ETFs with cheaper alternatives
- Exploit tracking errors
## API Usage
### Streaming Mode (Bi-Input)
```csharp
var coint = new Cointegration(period: 20);
foreach (var (priceA, priceB) in pricePairs)
{
var result = coint.Update(priceA, priceB);
if (coint.IsHot && result.Value < -2.86)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Cointegrated at 5% level: ADF = {result.Value:F2}");
}
}
```
### Batch Mode
```csharp
var seriesA = new TSeries();
var seriesB = new TSeries();
// ... populate series ...
var results = Cointegration.Calculate(seriesA, seriesB, period: 20);
```
### Span Mode (Zero Allocation)
```csharp
double[] pricesA = new double[1000];
double[] pricesB = new double[1000];
double[] output = new double[1000];
// ... populate inputs ...
Cointegration.Calculate(pricesA.AsSpan(), pricesB.AsSpan(), output.AsSpan(), period: 20);
```
### Bar Correction Support
```csharp
var coint = new Cointegration(20);
// New bar
coint.Update(100.0, 50.0, isNew: true); // ADF = -2.5
// Same bar corrected (e.g., real-time tick update)
coint.Update(101.0, 51.0, isNew: false); // Recalculates without advancing state
```
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Confusing Correlation with Cointegration**: High correlation does not imply cointegration. Two trending stocks can be 99% correlated but not cointegrated (spurious regression). Conversely, mean-reverting pairs may have low correlation but strong cointegration.
2. **Warmup Period**: The indicator requires `period + 1` bars before producing valid results. During warmup, `IsHot` returns false and results may be NaN.
3. **Critical Values**: ADF critical values are approximate: -3.43 (1%), -2.86 (5%), -2.57 (10%). These differ from standard t-distribution values due to the unit root null hypothesis.
4. **Zero-Variance Edge Cases**: Perfectly linear relationships (A = β×B + α with no noise) produce zero-variance residuals, resulting in NaN. This is mathematically correct—perfect cointegration has no estimation uncertainty.
5. **Non-Stationarity Requirement**: Both input series should be integrated of order 1 (I(1))—non-stationary but with stationary first differences. Applying cointegration to already-stationary series is meaningless.
6. **Period Selection**: Short periods (10-20) respond faster but may produce unstable estimates. Longer periods (50-100) are more stable but slower to adapt. Consider the expected holding period for your trading strategy.
7. **Structural Breaks**: Cointegration can break down due to fundamental changes (mergers, regulatory shifts, market regime changes). Monitor ADF statistics over time and be prepared to exit when the relationship deteriorates.
8. **Memory per Instance**: Each indicator instance allocates ~32×period bytes for buffers. For scanning many pairs, consider batch processing or pooling.
## When to Use Cointegration
**Use it when:**
- Building pairs trading or statistical arbitrage strategies
- Identifying mean-reversion opportunities across related instruments
- Validating hedge ratios for portfolio construction
- Monitoring relationship stability over time
**Skip it when:**
- Series are already stationary (use correlation instead)
- Looking for momentum/trend signals
- Short-term (intraday) trading where co-movement matters more than equilibrium
- One-off analysis where econometrics packages (statsmodels) are more appropriate

# CORR: Pearson Correlation Coefficient
> "Correlation is not causation, but it sure is a hint. The market doesn't care why two instruments move together—only that they do, and whether that relationship will persist long enough for you to profit from it."
The Pearson Correlation Coefficient measures the linear relationship between two variables, returning a value from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to +1 (perfect positive correlation). Zero indicates no linear relationship. This implementation uses running sums for O(1) streaming updates, making it suitable for real-time analysis of price relationships.
## Historical Context
Karl Pearson formalized the correlation coefficient in the 1890s, building on earlier work by Francis Galton. The formula has remained unchanged for over a century because it elegantly captures what traders intuitively understand: when two instruments move together, there's an exploitable relationship.
Unlike cointegration (which tests for long-run equilibrium), correlation measures instantaneous co-movement. Two stocks can be highly correlated yet drift apart permanently—correlation tells you about direction, not destination. This distinction matters enormously for pairs trading: correlation helps with hedging and timing, but cointegration determines whether mean-reversion is statistically justified.
This implementation follows the PineScript reference, using circular buffers and running sums to achieve constant-time updates regardless of lookback period.
## Architecture & Physics
### 1. Running Sums Framework
The indicator maintains five running sums updated incrementally:
| Sum | Description | Formula |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| $S_X$ | Sum of X values | $\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_i$ |
| $S_Y$ | Sum of Y values | $\sum_{i=1}^{n} Y_i$ |
| $S_{X^2}$ | Sum of X squared | $\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_i^2$ |
| $S_{Y^2}$ | Sum of Y squared | $\sum_{i=1}^{n} Y_i^2$ |
| $S_{XY}$ | Sum of X×Y products | $\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_i Y_i$ |
### 2. Circular Buffer
A `RingBuffer` of capacity `period` stores paired values. When full, the oldest pair is subtracted from running sums before adding the new pair—maintaining O(1) complexity regardless of period length.
### 3. Correlation Formula
The Pearson coefficient is computed as:
$$r = \frac{\text{Cov}(X, Y)}{\sigma_X \cdot \sigma_Y}$$
Expanded using running sums:
$$r = \frac{n \cdot S_{XY} - S_X \cdot S_Y}{\sqrt{(n \cdot S_{X^2} - S_X^2)(n \cdot S_{Y^2} - S_Y^2)}}$$
Where $n$ is the number of observations (capped at `period`).
### 4. Edge Case Handling
| Condition | Result | Rationale |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Zero variance in X or Y | NaN | Division by zero—undefined correlation |
| Insufficient data | NaN | Need at least 2 points |
| NaN/Infinity input | Last valid value | Substitution preserves series continuity |
## Mathematical Foundation
### Derivation from Covariance
Starting with the population covariance:
$$\text{Cov}(X, Y) = \frac{\sum(X_i - \bar{X})(Y_i - \bar{Y})}{n}$$
Expanding:
$$\text{Cov}(X, Y) = \frac{\sum X_i Y_i}{n} - \bar{X} \cdot \bar{Y}$$
$$= \frac{S_{XY}}{n} - \frac{S_X}{n} \cdot \frac{S_Y}{n}$$
$$= \frac{n \cdot S_{XY} - S_X \cdot S_Y}{n^2}$$
Similarly for standard deviations:
$$\sigma_X = \sqrt{\frac{S_{X^2}}{n} - \left(\frac{S_X}{n}\right)^2} = \frac{\sqrt{n \cdot S_{X^2} - S_X^2}}{n}$$
Combining:
$$r = \frac{\text{Cov}(X, Y)}{\sigma_X \cdot \sigma_Y} = \frac{n \cdot S_{XY} - S_X \cdot S_Y}{\sqrt{(n \cdot S_{X^2} - S_X^2)(n \cdot S_{Y^2} - S_Y^2)}}$$
### Update Mechanics
When a new pair $(x_{new}, y_{new})$ arrives and an old pair $(x_{old}, y_{old})$ exits the window:
$$S_X \leftarrow S_X - x_{old} + x_{new}$$
$$S_Y \leftarrow S_Y - y_{old} + y_{new}$$
$$S_{X^2} \leftarrow S_{X^2} - x_{old}^2 + x_{new}^2$$
$$S_{Y^2} \leftarrow S_{Y^2} - y_{old}^2 + y_{new}^2$$
$$S_{XY} \leftarrow S_{XY} - x_{old} \cdot y_{old} + x_{new} \cdot y_{new}$$
This achieves O(1) per-bar complexity.
## Performance Profile
### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar)
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| ADD/SUB | 12 | 1 | 12 |
| MUL | 8 | 3 | 24 |
| DIV | 1 | 15 | 15 |
| SQRT | 1 | 15 | 15 |
| Buffer Access | 2 | 3 | 6 |
| **Total** | **24** | — | **~72 cycles** |
Correlation is significantly cheaper than cointegration (~72 vs ~282 cycles) because it doesn't require the ADF regression step.
### Memory Footprint
| Component | Size |
| :--- | :--- |
| Ring buffer (period × 2 doubles) | 16 × period bytes |
| Running sums (5 doubles) | 40 bytes |
| State variables | 32 bytes |
| **Total per instance** | **~16 × period + 72 bytes** |
For period=20: ~392 bytes per indicator instance.
### Batch Mode (SIMD Potential)
The correlation formula is not directly SIMD-friendly due to the final division and square root. However, the running sum accumulation phase can benefit from vectorization when processing batches:
| Phase | SIMD Benefit |
| :--- | :--- |
| Sum accumulation | 4-8× (AVX2/AVX-512) |
| Final formula | 1× (scalar) |
| **Overall improvement** | ~2-3× for batch processing |
### Quality Metrics
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact Pearson formula |
| **Timeliness** | 8/10 | Responsive to recent changes |
| **Robustness** | 9/10 | Handles edge cases gracefully |
| **Interpretability** | 10/10 | Universal [-1, +1] scale |
## Validation
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | No correlation implementation |
| **Skender** | N/A | No direct correlation (has Beta) |
| **Tulip** | N/A | No correlation implementation |
| **Ooples** | N/A | No correlation implementation |
| **TradingView** | ✅ | Matches PineScript `ta.correlation()` |
| **Mathematical** | ✅ | Validated against known properties |
Note: Correlation is typically found in statistical packages rather than TA libraries. This implementation validates against mathematical properties (symmetry, boundedness, scale invariance) and the PineScript reference.
## Use Cases
### 1. Hedging
Find correlated instruments to offset risk:
- **r > 0.7**: Strong positive correlation, use for portfolio diversification analysis
- **r < -0.7**: Strong negative correlation, natural hedges
### 2. Pairs Trading (Short-Term)
Identify co-moving pairs for short-term mean reversion:
- High correlation indicates pairs move together
- Combine with cointegration for statistical justification
### 3. Sector Analysis
Measure how closely a stock tracks its sector or index:
- Rolling correlation reveals changing relationships
- Divergence from sector may signal alpha opportunities
### 4. Risk Management
Monitor correlation stability:
- Correlations tend toward 1 during market stress
- "Correlation breakdown" can devastate hedged portfolios
## API Usage
### Streaming Mode (Bi-Input)
```csharp
var corr = new Correlation(period: 20);
foreach (var (priceA, priceB) in pricePairs)
{
var result = corr.Update(priceA, priceB);
if (corr.IsHot)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Correlation: {result.Value:F4}");
}
}
```
### Batch Mode
```csharp
var seriesA = new TSeries();
var seriesB = new TSeries();
// ... populate series ...
var results = Correlation.Calculate(seriesA, seriesB, period: 20);
```
### Span Mode (Zero Allocation)
```csharp
double[] pricesA = new double[1000];
double[] pricesB = new double[1000];
double[] output = new double[1000];
// ... populate inputs ...
Correlation.Calculate(pricesA.AsSpan(), pricesB.AsSpan(), output.AsSpan(), period: 20);
```
### Bar Correction Support
```csharp
var corr = new Correlation(20);
// New bar
corr.Update(100.0, 50.0, isNew: true); // r = 0.85
// Same bar corrected (e.g., real-time tick update)
corr.Update(101.0, 51.0, isNew: false); // Recalculates without advancing state
```
## Interpreting Results
| Correlation | Interpretation |
| :---: | :--- |
| **+0.7 to +1.0** | Strong positive: move in same direction |
| **+0.3 to +0.7** | Moderate positive |
| **-0.3 to +0.3** | Weak or no linear relationship |
| **-0.7 to -0.3** | Moderate negative |
| **-1.0 to -0.7** | Strong negative: move in opposite directions |
**Warning**: Correlation only measures *linear* relationships. Two variables with a perfect quadratic relationship (Y = X²) may show r ≈ 0.
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Confusing Correlation with Causation**: High correlation does not imply one variable causes changes in the other. Both may be driven by a third factor (confounding).
2. **Assuming Stability**: Correlations change over time. A 0.9 correlation over the past year doesn't guarantee 0.9 tomorrow. Rolling correlation reveals regime changes.
3. **Ignoring Non-Linear Relationships**: Pearson correlation misses curvilinear dependencies. If you suspect non-linear relationships, consider Spearman rank correlation instead.
4. **Crisis Correlation Spike**: During market stress, correlations tend toward 1.0 (or -1.0 for inverse ETFs). Diversification benefits evaporate precisely when you need them most.
5. **Lookback Period Selection**: Short periods (5-10) are noisy but responsive. Long periods (50-100) are stable but slow to adapt. Match the period to your trading horizon.
6. **Zero-Variance Edge Case**: If either series is constant within the window, variance is zero and correlation is undefined (NaN). This is mathematically correct.
7. **Warmup Period**: The indicator requires `period` bars before producing valid results. During warmup, `IsHot` returns false.
8. **Outlier Sensitivity**: Pearson correlation is sensitive to outliers. A single extreme observation can dramatically shift the coefficient. Consider winsorizing data or using Spearman for robustness.
## Correlation vs Cointegration
| Aspect | Correlation | Cointegration |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Measures** | Linear co-movement | Long-run equilibrium |
| **Range** | [-1, +1] | ADF statistic (unbounded) |
| **Time horizon** | Short-term | Long-term |
| **Use case** | Hedging, risk | Pairs trading |
| **Computational cost** | ~72 cycles | ~282 cycles |
| **Stationarity required** | No | Yes (I(1) series) |
**Rule of thumb**: Use correlation for hedging and short-term analysis. Use cointegration for pairs trading and mean-reversion strategies.

# PACF: Partial Autocorrelation Function
> "Strip away the intermediaries, and you'll see the true direct relationship."
The Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF) measures the correlation between a time series and its lagged values, after removing the effects of all intermediate lags. While ACF shows total correlation at each lag, PACF isolates the direct correlation, making it essential for AR model identification.
## Historical Context
The partial autocorrelation concept emerged from regression theory, where researchers needed to isolate the direct effect of a variable while controlling for confounding factors. The Durbin-Levinson algorithm (1960) provided an efficient recursive method to compute PACF, reducing the computational burden from solving a new system of equations for each lag.
In time series analysis, PACF became a cornerstone of the Box-Jenkins methodology (1970) for ARIMA model identification. While ACF helps identify MA order, PACF is the primary tool for identifying AR order.
## Architecture & Physics
The PACF indicator uses the Durbin-Levinson recursion to efficiently compute partial autocorrelations. This avoids the need to solve separate regression equations for each lag, instead building up the solution recursively from ACF values.
### Core Components
1. **RingBuffer**: Maintains the sliding window of `period` values
2. **ACF Computation**: Calculates all autocorrelations up to the target lag
3. **Durbin-Levinson Recursion**: Computes PACF from ACF values
4. **Coefficient Arrays**: Temporary storage for recursion (stack-allocated for small lags)
## Mathematical Foundation
### Partial Autocorrelation Definition
The partial autocorrelation at lag $k$, denoted $\phi_{kk}$, is the correlation between $X_t$ and $X_{t-k}$ after removing the linear dependence on $X_{t-1}, X_{t-2}, \ldots, X_{t-k+1}$.
Equivalently, $\phi_{kk}$ is the last coefficient in the AR(k) regression:
$$ X_t = \phi_{k1} X_{t-1} + \phi_{k2} X_{t-2} + \cdots + \phi_{kk} X_{t-k} + \epsilon_t $$
### Durbin-Levinson Algorithm
The algorithm recursively computes PACF from ACF values:
**Initialization:**
$$ \phi_{11} = r_1 $$
**Recursion for k = 2, 3, ..., K:**
$$ \phi_{kk} = \frac{r_k - \sum_{j=1}^{k-1} \phi_{k-1,j} \cdot r_{k-j}}{1 - \sum_{j=1}^{k-1} \phi_{k-1,j} \cdot r_j} $$
**Coefficient Update:**
$$ \phi_{kj} = \phi_{k-1,j} - \phi_{kk} \cdot \phi_{k-1,k-j} \quad \text{for } j = 1, \ldots, k-1 $$
### Key Properties
* $\phi_{11} = r_1$ (PACF at lag 1 equals ACF at lag 1)
* $-1 \leq \phi_{kk} \leq 1$ for all $k$
* For AR(p) processes, PACF cuts off after lag $p$ ($\phi_{kk} = 0$ for $k > p$)
* For MA(q) processes, PACF decays exponentially or sinusoidally
* For ARMA(p,q) processes, PACF exhibits complex behavior after lag $p-q$
### AR Process Identification
For an AR(p) process:
$$ X_t = \phi_1 X_{t-1} + \phi_2 X_{t-2} + \cdots + \phi_p X_{t-p} + \epsilon_t $$
The PACF exhibits:
* $\phi_{kk} \neq 0$ for $k \leq p$ (significant values)
* $\phi_{kk} = 0$ for $k > p$ (cuts off sharply)
This cutoff property makes PACF the primary diagnostic for AR order selection.
### AR(1) Example
For AR(1) process $X_t = \phi X_{t-1} + \epsilon_t$:
* $\phi_{11} = \phi$ (the AR coefficient)
* $\phi_{kk} = 0$ for $k > 1$
### AR(2) Example
For AR(2) process $X_t = \phi_1 X_{t-1} + \phi_2 X_{t-2} + \epsilon_t$:
* $\phi_{11}$ and $\phi_{22}$ are non-zero
* $\phi_{kk} = 0$ for $k > 2$
## Performance Profile
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Throughput** | ~100 ns/bar | ACF loop + Durbin-Levinson recursion |
| **Allocations** | 0 | Zero-allocation for lag ≤ 64 (stackalloc) |
| **Complexity** | O(period + lag²) | ACF computation + Durbin-Levinson |
| **Accuracy** | 8 | Good accuracy; numerical stability from recursion |
### Operation Count (per update)
| Operation | Count | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| ADD/SUB | ~3N + K² | Mean, variance, autocovariance, recursion |
| MUL | ~2N + 2K² | Cross products, coefficient updates |
| DIV | K + 2 | ACF ratios, recursion denominators |
Where N = period, K = lag.
## Validation
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not available in TA-Lib |
| **Skender** | N/A | Not available in Skender |
| **Tulip** | N/A | Not available in Tulip |
| **Mathematical** | ✅ | Validated against theoretical properties |
PACF is validated through mathematical properties:
- $\phi_{11} = r_1$ (PACF at lag 1 equals ACF at lag 1)
- Bounded output [-1, 1]
- Constant series returns 0
- AR(1) process produces PACF ≈ φ at lag 1, ≈ 0 for higher lags
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Period vs Lag Constraint**: Period must be greater than `lag + 1`. Insufficient data produces undefined or unstable results.
2. **PACF ≠ ACF**: A common confusion is treating PACF and ACF identically. While $\phi_{11} = r_1$, higher-order PACF values differ significantly from ACF.
3. **Warmup Period**: PACF requires a full window (`period` values) plus sufficient data for stable ACF estimates. Values during warmup are unreliable.
4. **Numerical Stability**: For very high lags, the Durbin-Levinson recursion can accumulate numerical errors. The denominator approaching zero indicates potential instability.
5. **AR vs MA Confusion**: Sharp PACF cutoff indicates AR; sharp ACF cutoff indicates MA. Using the wrong criterion leads to model misspecification.
6. **Significance Testing**: PACF values should be tested against confidence bounds. For white noise, 95% confidence bounds are approximately $\pm 1.96/\sqrt{n}$.
7. **Non-Stationarity**: Like ACF, PACF assumes stationarity. Trending data should be differenced first.
## Usage
```csharp
using QuanTAlib;
// Create a 20-period PACF indicator with lag 1
var pacf = new Pacf(period: 20, lag: 1);
// Update with new values
var result = pacf.Update(new TValue(DateTime.UtcNow, 100.0));
// Access the last calculated PACF value
Console.WriteLine($"PACF(1): {pacf.Last.Value}");
// Verify key property: PACF(1) should equal ACF(1)
var acf = new Acf(period: 20, lag: 1);
// ... feed same data to both ...
// pacf.Last.Value ≈ acf.Last.Value
// Chained usage
var source = new TSeries();
var pacfChained = new Pacf(source, period: 20, lag: 1);
// Static batch calculation
var output = Pacf.Calculate(source, period: 20, lag: 1);
// Span-based calculation
Span<double> outputSpan = stackalloc double[source.Count];
Pacf.Batch(source.Values, outputSpan, period: 20, lag: 1);
```
## Applications
### AR Order Identification
The primary application of PACF is determining the order of AR models:
- PACF cuts off after lag p → suggests AR(p)
- Combined with ACF cutoff after lag q → suggests ARMA(p,q)
### Model Validation
After fitting an AR model, residual PACF should show no significant values, indicating all autocorrelation structure has been captured.
### Lead-Lag Analysis
In financial markets, PACF can reveal direct lead-lag relationships between assets after controlling for intermediate effects.
### Signal Processing
PACF is used in linear prediction and filter design, where the partial correlation structure determines optimal predictor coefficients.
## Comparison: ACF vs PACF
| Property | ACF | PACF |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Measures** | Total correlation at lag k | Direct correlation at lag k |
| **AR(p) process** | Exponential/sinusoidal decay | Cuts off after lag p |
| **MA(q) process** | Cuts off after lag q | Exponential/sinusoidal decay |
| **ARMA(p,q)** | Tails off | Tails off |
| **Primary use** | MA order identification | AR order identification |
| **Lag 1 value** | $r_1$ | $\phi_{11} = r_1$ |

# ZLDEMA: Zero-Lag Double Exponential Moving Average
## DEMA with lag compensation via a zero-lag signal
> "ZLDEMA combines the speed of zero-lag prediction with the smoothness of double exponential averaging. You get faster response than ZLEMA, with better trend-following than DEMA."
ZLDEMA takes a standard DEMA and feeds it a **zero-lag signal**: current price minus a lagged price. This produces a smoother that responds faster than DEMA without going fully raw. The dual EMA cascade provides additional noise rejection while the zero-lag preprocessing maintains responsiveness.
## Historical Context
ZLDEMA extends the zero-lag concept from ZLEMA to double exponential moving averages. Where ZLEMA applies lag compensation to a single EMA, ZLDEMA applies it to a two-stage EMA cascade using the DEMA formula (2*EMA1 - EMA2). This combination targets the middle ground between ZLEMA's speed and TEMA's smoothness.
## Architecture & Physics
### Pipeline
1. **Lag estimate**
$$\text{lag} = \max(1, \text{round}((N-1)/2))$$
2. **Zero-lag signal**
$$s_t = 2 \cdot x_t - x_{t-\text{lag}}$$
3. **First EMA stage**
$$\text{EMA1}_t = \text{EMA}(s_t, \alpha)$$
4. **Second EMA stage**
$$\text{EMA2}_t = \text{EMA}(\text{EMA1}_t, \alpha)$$
5. **DEMA output**
$$\text{ZLDEMA}_t = 2 \cdot \text{EMA1}_t - \text{EMA2}_t$$
### Warmup compensation
ZLDEMA uses EMA bias compensation during warmup on both EMA stages:
$$y_t^{*} = \frac{y_t}{1 - (1 - \alpha)^t}$$
This avoids the early-stage bias toward zero and makes the first values usable.
## Math Foundation
**EMA update:**
$$y_t = y_{t-1} + \alpha (s_t - y_{t-1})$$
**Zero-lag signal:**
$$s_t = 2 \cdot x_t - x_{t-\text{lag}}$$
**DEMA formula:**
$$\text{DEMA}_t = 2 \cdot \text{EMA1}_t - \text{EMA2}_t$$
**Alpha from period:**
$$\alpha = \frac{2}{N + 1}$$
## Performance Profile
### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar)
**Hot path (after warmup, compensation complete):**
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| FMA | 4 | 4 | 16 |
| MUL | 2 | 3 | 6 |
| **Total** | **6** | | **~22 cycles** |
The hot path consists of:
1. Zero-lag signal: `FMA(2.0, val, -lagged)` - 1 FMA
2. EMA1 core: `FMA(ema1Raw, beta, alpha * signal)` - 1 FMA + 1 MUL
3. EMA2 core: `FMA(ema2Raw, beta, alpha * ema1)` - 1 FMA + 1 MUL
4. DEMA output: `FMA(2.0, ema1, -ema2)` - 1 FMA
**Warmup path (with bias compensation):**
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| FMA | 4 | 4 | 16 |
| MUL | 4 | 3 | 12 |
| DIV | 1 | 15 | 15 |
| CMP | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| **Total** | **11** | | **~45 cycles** |
Additional warmup operations:
- Decay tracking: `e *= beta` - 1 MUL
- Compensator calc: `1 / (1 - e)` - 1 DIV
- Bias compensation: `ema1Raw * compensator`, `ema2Raw * compensator` - 2 MUL
- Hot/compensated checks - 2 CMP
### Batch Mode (SIMD Analysis)
ZLDEMA is an IIR filter with lag buffer dependency - not directly vectorizable across bars. However, within-bar operations use FMA intrinsics.
| Optimization | Benefit |
| :--- | :--- |
| FMA instructions | ~22 cycles vs ~28 scalar |
| stackalloc buffer | Zero heap allocation for lag ≤256 |
### Quality Metrics
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **Accuracy** | 8/10 | Matches PineScript reference |
| **Timeliness** | 9/10 | Faster response than DEMA, comparable to ZLEMA |
| **Overshoot** | 5/10 | Predictive signal plus DEMA amplification causes overshoot |
| **Smoothness** | 7/10 | Smoother than ZLEMA due to dual EMA cascade |
## Validation
ZLDEMA is validated against a PineScript reference implementation.
| Library | Status | Tolerance | Notes |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | - | No ZLDEMA in TA-Lib |
| **Skender** | N/A | - | No ZLDEMA in Skender |
| **Tulip** | N/A | - | No ZLDEMA in Tulip |
| **Ooples** | N/A | - | No ZLDEMA in Ooples |
| **PineScript** | ✓ Passed | 1e-10 | Matches `lib/trends_IIR/zldema/zldema.pine` |
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Increased overshoot on turns**
The zero-lag signal is a forward estimate, and the DEMA formula (2*EMA1 - EMA2) further amplifies deviations. Expect more overshoot than ZLEMA when price reverses sharply.
2. **Period semantics**
ZLDEMA uses EMA alpha; the lag term is derived from period but not equivalent to a window length. Do not compare ZLDEMA period directly to SMA window length.
3. **Warmup discipline**
Use `IsHot` / `WarmupPeriod` before acting on signals. Early values are bias-corrected but still unstable. The dual EMA cascade requires longer warmup than single-stage ZLEMA.
4. **Non-finite data**
NaN or Infinity is replaced with the last valid value. Before the first valid sample, output is `NaN`.
5. **DEMA vs ZLDEMA**
ZLDEMA is not simply DEMA with a different alpha. The zero-lag preprocessing fundamentally changes the input signal, making ZLDEMA more responsive but also more prone to overshoot than standard DEMA.

# ZLTEMA: Zero-Lag Triple Exponential Moving Average
## TEMA with lag compensation via a zero-lag signal
> "ZLTEMA combines the speed of zero-lag prediction with the smoothness of triple exponential averaging. You get the fastest response in the zero-lag family, with the best noise rejection from the TEMA cascade."
ZLTEMA takes a standard TEMA and feeds it a **zero-lag signal**: current price minus a lagged price. This produces a smoother that responds faster than TEMA without going fully raw. The triple EMA cascade provides maximum noise rejection in the exponential family while the zero-lag preprocessing maintains responsiveness.
## Historical Context
ZLTEMA extends the zero-lag concept from ZLEMA to triple exponential moving averages. Where ZLEMA applies lag compensation to a single EMA and ZLDEMA to a double cascade, ZLTEMA applies it to a three-stage EMA cascade using the TEMA formula (3*EMA1 - 3*EMA2 + EMA3). This combination targets the extreme end: maximum smoothness with minimal lag.
## Architecture & Physics
### Pipeline
1. **Lag estimate**
$$\text{lag} = \max(1, \text{round}((N-1)/2))$$
2. **Zero-lag signal**
$$s_t = 2 \cdot x_t - x_{t-\text{lag}}$$
3. **First EMA stage**
$$\text{EMA1}_t = \text{EMA}(s_t, \alpha)$$
4. **Second EMA stage**
$$\text{EMA2}_t = \text{EMA}(\text{EMA1}_t, \alpha)$$
5. **Third EMA stage**
$$\text{EMA3}_t = \text{EMA}(\text{EMA2}_t, \alpha)$$
6. **TEMA output**
$$\text{ZLTEMA}_t = 3 \cdot \text{EMA1}_t - 3 \cdot \text{EMA2}_t + \text{EMA3}_t$$
### Warmup compensation
ZLTEMA uses EMA bias compensation during warmup on all three EMA stages:
$$y_t^{*} = \frac{y_t}{1 - (1 - \alpha)^t}$$
This avoids the early-stage bias toward zero and makes the first values usable.
## Math Foundation
**EMA update:**
$$y_t = y_{t-1} + \alpha (s_t - y_{t-1})$$
**Zero-lag signal:**
$$s_t = 2 \cdot x_t - x_{t-\text{lag}}$$
**TEMA formula:**
$$\text{TEMA}_t = 3 \cdot \text{EMA1}_t - 3 \cdot \text{EMA2}_t + \text{EMA3}_t$$
**Alpha from period:**
$$\alpha = \frac{2}{N + 1}$$
## Performance Profile
### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar)
**Hot path (after warmup, compensation complete):**
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| FMA | 6 | 4 | 24 |
| MUL | 3 | 3 | 9 |
| **Total** | **9** | | **~33 cycles** |
The hot path consists of:
1. Zero-lag signal: `FMA(2.0, val, -lagged)` - 1 FMA
2. EMA1 core: `FMA(ema1Raw, beta, alpha * signal)` - 1 FMA + 1 MUL
3. EMA2 core: `FMA(ema2Raw, beta, alpha * ema1)` - 1 FMA + 1 MUL
4. EMA3 core: `FMA(ema3Raw, beta, alpha * ema2)` - 1 FMA + 1 MUL
5. TEMA output: `FMA(3.0, ema1, FMA(-3.0, ema2, ema3))` - 2 FMA (nested)
**Warmup path (with bias compensation):**
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| FMA | 6 | 4 | 24 |
| MUL | 5 | 3 | 15 |
| DIV | 1 | 15 | 15 |
| CMP | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| **Total** | **14** | | **~56 cycles** |
Additional warmup operations:
- Decay tracking: `e *= beta` - 1 MUL
- Compensator calc: `1 / (1 - e)` - 1 DIV
- Bias compensation: `ema1Raw * compensator`, `ema2Raw * compensator`, `ema3Raw * compensator` - 3 MUL
- Hot/compensated checks - 2 CMP
### Batch Mode (SIMD Analysis)
ZLTEMA is an IIR filter with lag buffer dependency - not directly vectorizable across bars. However, within-bar operations use FMA intrinsics.

| :--- | :--- |
| FMA instructions | ~33 cycles vs ~42 scalar |
| stackalloc buffer | Zero heap allocation for lag ≤256 |
### Quality Metrics
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **Accuracy** | 8/10 | Matches PineScript reference |
| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Fastest response in ZL family |
| **Overshoot** | 4/10 | Predictive signal plus TEMA amplification causes significant overshoot |
| **Smoothness** | 8/10 | Smoothest in ZL family due to triple EMA cascade |
## Validation
ZLTEMA is validated against a PineScript reference implementation.
| Library | Status | Tolerance | Notes |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | - | No ZLTEMA in TA-Lib |
| **Skender** | N/A | - | No ZLTEMA in Skender |
| **Tulip** | N/A | - | No ZLTEMA in Tulip |
| **Ooples** | N/A | - | No ZLTEMA in Ooples |
| **PineScript** | ✓ Passed | 1e-10 | Matches `lib/trends_IIR/zltema/zltema.pine` |
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Maximum overshoot on turns**
The zero-lag signal is a forward estimate, and the TEMA formula (3*EMA1 - 3*EMA2 + EMA3) has the highest amplification in the exponential family. Expect more overshoot than ZLDEMA or ZLEMA when price reverses sharply.
2. **Period semantics**
ZLTEMA uses EMA alpha; the lag term is derived from period but not equivalent to a window length. Do not compare ZLTEMA period directly to SMA window length.
3. **Warmup discipline**
Use `IsHot` / `WarmupPeriod` before acting on signals. Early values are bias-corrected but still unstable. The triple EMA cascade requires longer warmup than ZLDEMA or ZLEMA.
4. **Non-finite data**
NaN or Infinity is replaced with the last valid value. Before the first valid sample, output is `NaN`.
5. **TEMA vs ZLTEMA**
ZLTEMA is not simply TEMA with a different alpha. The zero-lag preprocessing fundamentally changes the input signal, making ZLTEMA more responsive but also more prone to overshoot than standard TEMA.
6. **ZLDEMA vs ZLTEMA**
ZLTEMA adds a third EMA stage over ZLDEMA. This provides additional smoothing at the cost of more overshoot during reversals. Use ZLDEMA when overshoot is more concerning than noise; use ZLTEMA when maximum smoothness is required.

# VR: Volatility Ratio
> "When today's range dwarfs the average, pay attention—the market is telling you something unusual is happening."
Volatility Ratio (VR) measures the current bar's True Range relative to its Average True Range (ATR), providing a normalized indicator of short-term volatility expansion or contraction. Values above 1.0 indicate above-average volatility (potential breakouts), while values below 1.0 suggest below-average volatility (consolidation). This simple yet powerful ratio helps traders identify when markets are moving unusually, often preceding significant price moves.
## Historical Context
The Volatility Ratio emerged from the practical need to normalize volatility readings across different market conditions and timeframes. While ATR (developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. in 1978) provides an absolute measure of volatility, traders needed a relative measure to answer: "Is today's movement unusual compared to recent history?"
The ratio concept is straightforward: divide today's True Range by the average True Range. This normalization allows:
1. Cross-market comparison (a VR of 2.0 means the same thing whether trading stocks, futures, or forex)
2. Breakout detection (VR > threshold signals unusual movement)
3. Volatility regime identification (sustained high/low VR indicates market character)
The implementation uses Wilder's RMA (also known as SMMA or modified EMA) with bias correction for accurate ATR calculation from the first bar.
## Architecture & Physics
### 1. True Range Calculation
True Range captures the full extent of price movement including gaps:
$$
TR_t = \max(H_t - L_t, |H_t - C_{t-1}|, |L_t - C_{t-1}|)
$$
where:
- $H_t$ = Current high
- $L_t$ = Current low
- $C_{t-1}$ = Previous close
For the first bar (no previous close), TR = High - Low.
### 2. Bias-Corrected ATR (RMA)
ATR uses Wilder's smoothing (RMA) with bias correction:
$$
\text{RMA}_{raw,t} = \alpha \cdot TR_t + (1 - \alpha) \cdot \text{RMA}_{raw,t-1}
$$
where $\alpha = 1/\text{period}$.
**Bias compensator:**
$$
e_t = (1 - \alpha)^t
$$
**Corrected ATR:**
$$
ATR_t = \frac{\text{RMA}_{raw,t}}{1 - e_t}
$$
This correction eliminates the startup bias that would otherwise cause ATR to be understated during the warmup period.
### 3. Volatility Ratio
$$
VR_t = \frac{TR_t}{ATR_t}
$$
When ATR is near zero, VR returns 0 to avoid division by zero.
## Mathematical Foundation
### True Range Properties
True Range has three components to handle gaps:
1. **H - L**: Intraday range (no gap)
2. **|H - PrevClose|**: Gap up scenario (high extends above previous close)
3. **|L - PrevClose|**: Gap down scenario (low extends below previous close)
The maximum of these three captures the full extent of price movement.
### RMA vs EMA
Wilder's RMA uses $\alpha = 1/n$ rather than EMA's $\alpha = 2/(n+1)$:
| Period | RMA α | EMA α | RMA Halflife | EMA Halflife |
| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| 14 | 0.0714 | 0.1333 | 9.6 bars | 4.8 bars |
| 20 | 0.0500 | 0.0952 | 13.9 bars | 6.9 bars |
RMA is slower to respond, providing a more stable reference for the ratio.
### Example Calculation
Period = 3, Bars with previous close = 100:
| Bar | H | L | C | TR | RMA_raw | e | ATR | VR |
| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| 1 | 102 | 98 | 101 | 4.0 | 4.0 | 0.667 | 12.0 | 0.33 |
| 2 | 106 | 100 | 105 | 6.0 | 4.67 | 0.444 | 8.40 | 0.71 |
| 3 | 108 | 103 | 106 | 5.0 | 4.78 | 0.296 | 6.79 | 0.74 |
| 4 | 115 | 104 | 112 | 9.0 | 6.19 | 0.198 | 7.72 | 1.17 |
Note: Bar 4 shows VR > 1.0, indicating above-average volatility.
## Performance Profile
### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar)
Per-bar operations:
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| SUB | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| ABS | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| MAX | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| MUL | 3 | 3 | 9 |
| DIV | 2 | 15 | 30 |
| FMA | 1 | 5 | 5 |
| **Total** | — | — | **~53 cycles** |
Extremely lightweight—dominated by two divisions.
### Batch Mode (512 values, SIMD/FMA)
| Operation | Scalar Ops | SIMD Ops (AVX2) | Speedup |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| TR calculation | 3584 | 448 | 8× |
| RMA smoothing | 1536 | N/A (recursive) | 1× |
| Division | 1024 | 128 | 8× |
**Batch efficiency:**
| Mode | Cycles/bar | Total (512 bars) | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :--- |
| Scalar streaming | ~53 | ~27k | Baseline |
| Hybrid SIMD | ~35 | ~18k | TR vectorized, RMA scalar |
| **Improvement** | **34%** | **9k saved** | Limited by RMA recursion |
### Memory Profile
- **Per instance:** ~72 bytes (state record + backup)
- **100 instances:** ~7.2 KB
- **No ring buffers**: RMA is fully recursive
### Quality Metrics
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **Simplicity** | 10/10 | Single ratio, intuitive interpretation |
| **Timeliness** | 10/10 | Immediate response to current bar |
| **Stability** | 8/10 | ATR smoothing provides stable denominator |
| **Signal Quality** | 8/10 | Clear breakout signals when VR > threshold |
| **Cross-Market** | 9/10 | Normalized for comparison |
## Validation
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **Skender** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **Tulip** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **OoplesFinance** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **PineScript** | ✅ | Matches vr.pine reference |
| **Self-consistency** | ✅ | Streaming = Batch modes match |
## Common Pitfalls
1. **First bar handling**: On the first bar, there's no previous close. TR = H - L for this bar only, and ATR initialization uses bias correction to prevent understating early values.
2. **Warmup period**: VR needs approximately `Period` bars for ATR to stabilize. During warmup, bias correction helps but early readings may be less reliable. The implementation tracks warmup via `IsHot`.
3. **Threshold interpretation**: VR = 1.0 means "average" volatility. Common breakout thresholds:
- VR > 1.5: Moderate breakout signal
- VR > 2.0: Strong breakout signal
- VR < 0.5: Extremely low volatility (consolidation)
4. **Denominator protection**: When ATR ≈ 0 (nearly flat market), the implementation returns 0 rather than causing division errors.
5. **Scale is relative**: VR = 2.0 always means "twice normal volatility" regardless of the underlying instrument's absolute price or typical ATR value.
6. **Period selection**: Shorter periods (7-10) make ATR more responsive, causing VR to spike less dramatically. Longer periods (20-30) create a more stable baseline, making VR spikes more pronounced.
## Trading Applications
### Breakout Detection
The primary use case—identify unusual volatility expansion:
```
VR > 2.0: Potential breakout in progress
VR > 1.5 && Volume > 2×Avg: High-conviction breakout
VR < 0.7 sustained: Building energy for eventual breakout
```
### Position Sizing
Scale position size inversely with current VR:
```
Base Position × (Target_VR / Current_VR)
Example: 1000 shares × (1.0 / 2.0) = 500 shares during high volatility
```
### Stop Loss Adjustment
Widen stops when VR is elevated:
```
Stop Distance = ATR × Multiplier × VR
Higher VR → Wider stops to avoid noise
```
### Volatility Squeeze Detection
Identify consolidation before expansion:
```
VR < 0.6 for 5+ bars → Volatility squeeze
Watch for VR breakout above 1.5 to signal expansion
```
### Regime Classification
```
VR < 0.7: Low volatility (trend following works)
VR 0.7-1.3: Normal volatility (standard strategies)
VR > 1.3: High volatility (reduce size, widen stops)
VR > 2.0: Extreme volatility (defensive positioning)
```
### Entry Timing
```
Breakout entry: Wait for VR > 1.5 to confirm move
Mean reversion: Enter when VR > 2.0 starts declining
Trend following: Best when VR 1.0-1.5 (movement with stability)
```
## Relationship to Other Indicators
| Indicator | Relationship to VR |
| :--- | :--- |
| **ATR** | VR = TR/ATR; VR normalizes ATR for comparison |
| **NATR** | NATR = ATR/Close×100; VR uses TR ratio instead |
| **Bollinger Width** | Both measure volatility; VR uses TR, BB uses std dev |
| **Keltner Width** | KC uses ATR; VR provides ratio view of same data |
| **ADX** | ADX measures trend strength; VR measures volatility expansion |
| **ATRP** | ATRP = ATR/Close×100; VR = TR/ATR |
## Implementation Notes
### State Management
The indicator maintains a compact state record:
- `RawAtr`: Running RMA value (before bias correction)
- `ECompensator`: Bias compensator $(1-\alpha)^n$
- `PrevClose`: Previous bar's close for True Range
- `LastValidVr`: Last valid output for NaN handling
- `Count`: Bar count for warmup tracking
- `HasPrevClose`: Flag for first-bar handling
### NaN/Infinity Handling
Invalid HLC inputs are detected and the last valid VR is substituted. This prevents NaN propagation through the calculation chain.
### Numerical Stability
The implementation uses:
- Epsilon guard (1e-10) for ATR division safety
- Zero return when ATR < epsilon
- Last-valid substitution for non-finite results

# YZV: Yang-Zhang Volatility
> "The best volatility estimator uses all the information the market gives you—overnight gaps, intraday swings, and everything in between."
Yang-Zhang Volatility is a sophisticated volatility estimator that combines overnight (close-to-open) returns with Rogers-Satchell intraday volatility to capture the full spectrum of price dynamics. Unlike simple close-to-close volatility that misses overnight gaps, or purely intraday measures that ignore opening moves, Yang-Zhang provides a theoretically unbiased estimate that remains consistent whether markets gap or drift.
## Historical Context
Introduced by Dennis Yang and Qiang Zhang in their 2000 paper "Drift-Independent Volatility Estimation Based on High, Low, Open, and Close Prices," this estimator addressed a fundamental gap in volatility measurement. Traditional close-to-close volatility understates true volatility when significant price movements occur outside trading hours. The Parkinson (1980) and Garman-Klass (1980) estimators used high-low information but assumed continuous trading with no overnight gaps.
Yang and Zhang combined three components:
1. **Overnight volatility** ($\sigma_o^2$): Captures close-to-open gaps
2. **Open-to-close volatility** ($\sigma_c^2$): Captures standard intraday drift
3. **Rogers-Satchell volatility** ($\sigma_{RS}^2$): Captures intraday high-low range accounting for drift
The key innovation was deriving optimal weights that minimize variance while remaining independent of price drift. The resulting estimator is approximately 8× more efficient than close-to-close for capturing true volatility.
## Architecture & Physics
### 1. Log Return Components
For each bar, compute four log returns relative to the previous close and current open:
$$
r_o = \ln\left(\frac{O_t}{C_{t-1}}\right) \quad \text{(overnight return)}
$$
$$
r_c = \ln\left(\frac{C_t}{O_t}\right) \quad \text{(open-to-close return)}
$$
$$
r_h = \ln\left(\frac{H_t}{O_t}\right) \quad \text{(high relative to open)}
$$
$$
r_l = \ln\left(\frac{L_t}{O_t}\right) \quad \text{(low relative to open)}
$$
### 2. Yang-Zhang Weighting Factor
The optimal weight $k$ that minimizes estimator variance:
$$
k = \frac{0.34}{1.34 + \frac{n+1}{n-1}}
$$
where $n$ is the smoothing period. For typical values:

### 3. Daily Variance Components
**Overnight variance:**
$$
\sigma_o^2 = r_o^2
$$
**Open-to-close variance:**
$$
\sigma_c^2 = r_c^2
$$
**Rogers-Satchell variance (drift-independent intraday measure):**
$$
\sigma_{RS}^2 = r_h \cdot (r_h - r_c) + r_l \cdot (r_l - r_c)
$$
### 4. Combined Daily Variance
$$
\sigma_{daily}^2 = \sigma_o^2 + k \cdot \sigma_c^2 + (1 - k) \cdot \sigma_{RS}^2
$$
### 5. Smoothed Volatility Output
Apply exponential smoothing (RMA) to daily variance with bias correction, then take square root:
$$
\text{YZV}_t = \sqrt{\text{RMA}(\sigma_{daily}^2, n)}
$$
## Mathematical Foundation
### Bias-Corrected RMA
The implementation uses RMA (Relative Moving Average, equivalent to EMA with $\alpha = 1/n$) with bias correction to handle the startup period:
$$
\text{RMA}_t = \alpha \cdot x_t + (1 - \alpha) \cdot \text{RMA}_{t-1}
$$
where $\alpha = 1/n$.
**Bias compensator:**
$$
e_t = (1 - \alpha)^t
$$
**Corrected output:**
$$
\text{RMA}_{corrected} = \frac{\text{RMA}_{raw}}{1 - e_t}
$$
This ensures the first few bars don't suffer from initialization bias.
### Rogers-Satchell Properties
The Rogers-Satchell component has elegant properties:
- **Drift-independent**: Provides consistent estimates regardless of price trend
- **Efficiency**: Uses high and low prices for information gain
- **Non-negativity**: Always ≥ 0 when calculated correctly
The formula $r_h(r_h - r_c) + r_l(r_l - r_c)$ can be rewritten as:
$$
\sigma_{RS}^2 = r_h \cdot r_l - r_l \cdot r_c - r_h \cdot r_c + r_h^2 + r_l^2 - r_l^2
$$
### Example Calculation
Period = 2, Bars: [(O=100, H=105, L=98, C=103), (O=102, H=108, L=101, C=106)]
**Bar 1** (assuming previous close = 99):
- $r_o = \ln(100/99) = 0.01005$
- $r_c = \ln(103/100) = 0.02956$
- $r_h = \ln(105/100) = 0.04879$
- $r_l = \ln(98/100) = -0.02020$
- $\sigma_o^2 = 0.0001010$
- $\sigma_c^2 = 0.0008738$
- $\sigma_{RS}^2 = 0.04879(0.04879-0.02956) + (-0.02020)((-0.02020)-0.02956) = 0.001935$
- $k = 0.34/(1.34 + 3/1) = 0.0783$
- $\sigma_{daily}^2 = 0.0001010 + 0.0783(0.0008738) + 0.9217(0.001935) = 0.001953$
**Bar 2** (previous close = 103):
- Similar calculation...
- Apply RMA to variance sequence
- Output = sqrt(smoothed variance)
## Performance Profile
### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar)
Per-bar operations:
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| LN (natural log) | 4 | 50 | 200 |
| MUL | 12 | 3 | 36 |
| ADD/SUB | 8 | 1 | 8 |

| SQRT | 1 | 15 | 15 |
| FMA candidates | 3 | 5 | 15 |
| **Total** | — | — | **~319 cycles** |
The logarithm operations dominate the cost.

### Memory Profile
- **Per instance:** ~120 bytes (state record + backup)
- **100 instances:** ~12 KB
- **Minimal footprint**: No ring buffers required (RMA is recursive)
### Quality Metrics

| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Theoretically optimal, unbiased estimator |
| **Timeliness** | 8/10 | Responds within period bars |
| **Efficiency** | 9/10 | ~8× more efficient than close-to-close |
| **Gap Handling** | 10/10 | Explicitly models overnight returns |

## Validation
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **Skender** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **Tulip** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **OoplesFinance** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **PineScript** | ✅ | Matches yzv.pine reference |
| **Self-consistency** | ✅ | Streaming = Batch modes match |
## Common Pitfalls
1. **First bar handling**: On the very first bar, there's no previous close. The implementation uses the current open as the "previous close" for this bar only, meaning $r_o = 0$ for bar 0.
2. **Warmup period**: YZV needs approximately `Period` bars before producing stable estimates. The bias-corrected RMA helps, but early values during warmup may still be less reliable.
3. **Negative variance guard**: Due to floating-point precision, the Rogers-Satchell component can theoretically go slightly negative in edge cases. The implementation guards against this by clamping variance to zero before taking the square root.
4. **Scale interpretation**: YZV output is in the same units as the log-return standard deviation (essentially a percentage in decimal form). A value of 0.02 means ~2% daily volatility.
5. **Parameter sensitivity**: The optimal $k$ weight depends on period. Don't reuse $k$ values calculated for different periods—the formula must be recomputed.
6. **Gap vs no-gap markets**: For instruments that trade 24/7 (crypto, forex), the overnight component may be less meaningful. Consider using only the Rogers-Satchell component for such markets.
## Trading Applications
### Volatility Forecasting
Yang-Zhang provides more accurate current volatility estimates, improving forecasts:
```
Forecast accuracy: YZV > Close-to-close > Parkinson
Use for: Option pricing, VaR calculations, position sizing
```
### Regime Detection
Monitor YZV for volatility regime changes:
```
Rising YZV: Increasing market uncertainty
Falling YZV: Settling market conditions
YZV > 2 × historical average: High-volatility regime
```
### Options Trading
Better IV estimation for pricing and hedging:
```
If Realized_YZV > Implied_Vol: Options may be underpriced
If Realized_YZV < Implied_Vol: Options may be overpriced
```
### Position Sizing
Scale positions inversely with volatility:
```
Position Size = Target $ Risk / (Entry Price × YZV × Multiplier)
```
### Gap Risk Assessment
Compare overnight vs intraday components:
```
If overnight_component > intraday_component: Gap risk elevated
Consider reducing overnight positions or hedging
```
## Relationship to Other Volatility Measures
| Measure | Compared to YZV |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Close-to-Close** | YZV ~8× more efficient; C2C ignores gaps |
| **Parkinson** | Parkinson ignores gaps; YZV handles them |
| **Garman-Klass** | GK handles overnight but not as optimally weighted |
| **Rogers-Satchell** | RS is a component of YZV; doesn't handle gaps |
| **ATR** | ATR is absolute price-based; YZV is log-return based |
| **Historical Volatility** | YZV is a better HV estimator |
## Implementation Notes
### State Management
The indicator maintains a compact state record:
- `RawRma`: Running RMA value (before bias correction)
- `ECompensator`: Bias compensator $(1-\alpha)^n$
- `PrevClose`: Previous bar's close for overnight return
- `LastValidYzv`: Last valid output for NaN handling
- `Count`: Bar count for warmup tracking
- `HasPrevClose`: Flag for first-bar handling
### NaN/Infinity Handling
Invalid OHLC inputs are detected and the last valid YZV is substituted. This prevents NaN propagation through the RMA chain.
### Numerical Stability
The implementation uses:
- Epsilon guard (1e-10) for division safety in bias correction
- Clamping of variance to ≥ 0 before sqrt
- Last-valid substitution for non-finite results
