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.

+# 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.

+
+## 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:
+- $n = 10$: $k \approx 0.196$
+- $n = 20$: $k \approx 0.215$
+- $n = 30$: $k \approx 0.222$
+
+### 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):

+
+## 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
