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.

# 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):
- Similar calculation...
- Apply RMA to variance sequence
- Output = sqrt(smoothed variance)

## Validation
| Library | Status | Notes |

| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not implemented |
| **Skender** | 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
