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.

+# 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

+| 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.
+
+| Optimization | Benefit |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| 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.
