Add Negative Volume Index (NVI) implementation and tests

- Implemented NVI indicator in Nvi.Quantower.cs with configurable start value and cold value display option. - Created unit tests for NVI functionality in Nvi.Tests.cs, covering various scenarios including initialization, updates, and edge cases. - Added validation tests in Nvi.Validation.Tests.cs to ensure NVI matches expected behavior against known implementations. - Developed comprehensive documentation for NVI in Nvi.md, detailing its historical context, mathematical foundation, and interpretation guide. - Included error handling for invalid input values and ensured compatibility with volume data.

+/// KVO: Klinger Volume Oscillator
+/// A volume-based oscillator developed by Stephen Klinger that compares volume
+/// flowing through securities with price movements. It identifies long-term
+/// money flow trends while remaining sensitive to short-term fluctuations.
+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+/// The KVO calculation process:
+/// 1. Calculate HLC3 (typical price) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
+/// 2. Determine trend direction: +1 if HLC3 > previous HLC3, -1 if lower, else unchanged
+/// 3. Calculate cumulation measure (CM) = |2 * ((range - (close - low)) / range) - 1|
+/// 4. Calculate direction multiplier (DM) = trend * volume * CM
+/// 5. Apply Fast EMA and Slow EMA to DM
+/// 6. KVO = Fast EMA(DM) - Slow EMA(DM)
+/// 7. Signal = EMA of KVO
+///
+/// Key characteristics:
+/// - Positive values indicate accumulation (buying pressure)
+/// - Negative values indicate distribution (selling pressure)
+/// - Signal line crossovers provide trading signals
+/// - Uses EMA compensator for proper early-stage bias correction
+///

+# KVO: Klinger Volume Oscillator
+
+> "Volume is the fuel that drives the market train."
+
+The Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO), developed by Stephen Klinger in the 1970s, measures the long-term trend of money flow while remaining sensitive to short-term fluctuations. Unlike simple volume indicators, KVO incorporates price direction and range into its volume analysis, creating a comprehensive measure of buying and selling pressure that can identify divergences before they appear in price action.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+Stephen Klinger developed this oscillator to address a fundamental limitation of traditional volume analysis: the inability to distinguish between accumulation (buying pressure) and distribution (selling pressure) in a mathematically rigorous way. The innovation was combining volume with a "Cumulation Measure" (CM) that weights volume based on where the close falls within the bar's range, multiplied by the prevailing trend direction.
+
+The indicator gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s among professional traders who valued its ability to confirm trends and spot divergences. The signal line crossover system provides clear entry/exit signals similar to MACD but focused entirely on volume dynamics.
+
+## Architecture & Physics
+
+### 1. Typical Price (HLC3) Calculation
+
+The foundation uses the typical price for trend determination:
+
+$$
+HLC3_t = \frac{High_t + Low_t + Close_t}{3}
+$$
+
+### 2. Trend Direction
+
+The trend is determined by comparing consecutive HLC3 values:
+
+$$
+Trend_t = \begin{cases}
+1 & \text{if } HLC3_t > HLC3_{t-1} \\
+-1 & \text{if } HLC3_t < HLC3_{t-1} \\
+Trend_{t-1} & \text{otherwise}
+\end{cases}
+$$
+
+### 3. Cumulation Measure (CM)
+
+The CM quantifies where the close falls within the bar's range:
+
+$$
+Range_t = High_t - Low_t
+$$
+
+$$
+CM_t = \begin{cases}
+\left|2 \times \frac{Range_t - (Close_t - Low_t)}{Range_t} - 1\right| & \text{if } Range_t > 0 \\
+0 & \text{otherwise}
+\end{cases}
+$$
+
+### 4. Direction Multiplier (DM)
+
+The DM combines trend, volume, and cumulation:
+
+$$
+DM_t = Trend_t \times Volume_t \times CM_t
+$$
+
+### 5. EMA Calculations with Compensator
+
+The oscillator uses compensated EMAs for proper warmup handling:
+
+$$
+\alpha_{fast} = \frac{2}{FastPeriod + 1}, \quad \alpha_{slow} = \frac{2}{SlowPeriod + 1}
+$$
+
+$$
+EMA_{fast,t} = \alpha_{fast} \times DM_t + (1 - \alpha_{fast}) \times EMA_{fast,t-1}
+$$
+
+During warmup (compensator > 1e-10):
+
+$$
+CompensatedEMA = \frac{EMA}{1 - (1-\alpha)^t}
+$$
+
+### 6. KVO Line
+
+$$
+KVO_t = FastEMA_t - SlowEMA_t
+$$
+
+### 7. Signal Line
+
+An EMA of the KVO line:
+
+$$
+Signal_t = EMA(KVO_t, SignalPeriod)
+$$
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### EMA Compensator Pattern
+
+The implementation uses an EMA compensator to eliminate early-stage bias:
+
+```
+e *= decay  // decay = 1 - alpha
+compensatedValue = ema / (1 - e)
+```
+
+When `e` decays below threshold (1e-10), the compensator is disabled and raw EMA values are used.
+
+### FMA Optimization
+
+Hot path calculations use fused multiply-add for precision and performance:
+
+$$
+EMA_{t} = FMA(EMA_{t-1}, decay, \alpha \times input)
+$$
+

+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Warmup Period**: The indicator requires at least `SlowPeriod` bars for meaningful values. The EMA compensator handles warmup mathematically but early signals should be treated cautiously.
+
+2. **Period Relationship**: Fast period must be less than slow period (`FastPeriod < SlowPeriod`). Violating this constraint throws an exception.
+
+3. **Volume Dependency**: KVO is fundamentally a volume indicator. Markets with unreliable or artificial volume data (forex, some crypto exchanges) may produce misleading signals.
+
+4. **Zero Range Bars**: Doji candles (High == Low) result in CM = 0, producing no volume contribution for that bar regardless of volume.
+
+5. **Signal Crossovers**: Like MACD, the KVO generates signals through crossovers. The signal line is an EMA of KVO, so crossovers lag the actual inflection points.
+
+6. **Memory Footprint**: Per instance: ~200 bytes for state struct. Scales linearly with number of indicator instances.
+
+## Interpretation
+
+- **Positive KVO**: Indicates accumulation (buying pressure exceeds selling pressure)
+- **Negative KVO**: Indicates distribution (selling pressure exceeds buying pressure)
+- **Signal Line Crossover**: When KVO crosses above signal line, bullish signal; below, bearish
+- **Zero Line Crossover**: Confirms trend direction change
+- **Divergences**: When price makes new highs/lows but KVO does not, potential reversal signal
