Unlike simple historical volatility measures, GARCH captures two key empirical features of financial returns: volatility clustering (large moves tend to follow large moves) and mean reversion (volatility eventually returns to a long-run average). The output is annualized volatility expressed as a percentage. + +## Historical Context + +Robert Engle introduced ARCH (Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) in 1982, earning him the 2003 Nobel Prize in Economics. Tim Bollerslev generalized this to GARCH (Generalized ARCH) in 1986. The GARCH(1,1) specification—with one lag of squared returns and one lag of variance—became the workhorse model because it captures the essential dynamics while remaining parsimonious. + +The key insight was that volatility is not constant over time but evolves predictably. A large price shock today increases tomorrow's expected volatility, which then decays gradually back to the long-run level. This "persistence" in volatility is captured by the β coefficient, while the immediate reaction to shocks is captured by α. + +Traditional implementations require maximum likelihood estimation to fit parameters to historical data. This implementation takes a different approach: it uses the warmup period to estimate the long-run variance, then applies user-specified α and β coefficients. This makes the indicator immediately usable without optimization, while still capturing the essential GARCH dynamics. + +## Architecture & Physics + +### 1. Log Return Calculation + +Returns are computed as continuously compounded (log) returns: + +$$ +r_t = \ln\left(\frac{C_t}{C_{t-1}}\right) +$$ + +where: + +- $C_t$ = closing price at time $t$ +- $r_t$ = log return at time $t$ + +Extreme returns are clamped to ±20% to prevent numerical instability from outliers. + +### 2. Long-Run Variance Estimation (Warmup Phase) + +During the initial `period` observations, the indicator estimates the unconditional (long-run) variance: + +$$ +\bar{\sigma}^2 = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} r_i^2 +$$ + +This running mean of squared returns provides the anchor point toward which volatility mean-reverts. + +### 3. Omega Calculation + +The constant term ω is derived from the stationarity constraint: + +$$ +\omega = (1 - \alpha - \beta) \times \bar{\sigma}^2 +$$ + +This ensures that the unconditional variance of the GARCH process equals the estimated long-run variance: + +$$ +E[\sigma^2] = \frac{\omega}{1 - \alpha - \beta} = \bar{\sigma}^2 +$$ + +### 4. GARCH(1,1) Recursion + +After warmup, variance evolves according to: + +$$ +\sigma^2_t = \omega + \alpha \cdot r^2_{t-1} + \beta \cdot \sigma^2_{t-1} +$$ + +where: + +- $\omega$ = constant term (pulls variance toward long-run level) +- $\alpha$ = innovation coefficient (weight on previous squared return) +- $\beta$ = persistence coefficient (weight on previous variance) +- $\alpha + \beta$ = persistence (must be < 1 for stationarity) + +### 5. Annualization + +Daily variance is converted to annualized volatility percentage: + +$$ +CV_t = \sqrt{252 \times \sigma^2_t} \times 100 +$$ + +## Mathematical Foundation + +### GARCH(1,1) Properties + +**Unconditional Variance:** + +$$ +E[\sigma^2] = \frac{\omega}{1 - \alpha - \beta} +$$ + +**Persistence:** +The sum $\alpha + \beta$ measures how quickly shocks decay: + +- $\alpha + \beta$ close to 1: Very persistent (shocks decay slowly) +- $\alpha + \beta$ close to 0: Mean-reverting quickly + +**Half-Life of Shocks:** + +$$ +\text{Half-life} = \frac{\ln(0.5)}{\ln(\alpha + \beta)} +$$ + +For default parameters ($\alpha = 0.2$, $\beta = 0.7$, persistence = 0.9): + +$$ +\text{Half-life} = \frac{-0.693}{-0.105} \approx 6.6 \text{ days} +$$ + +### Stationarity Constraint + +For the variance process to be covariance-stationary: + +$$ +\alpha + \beta < 1 +$$ + +When $\alpha + \beta \geq 1$, the process becomes IGARCH (Integrated GARCH) and shocks have permanent effects. + +### Volatility Clustering + +The GARCH model mathematically captures why "large changes tend to be followed by large changes": + +$$ +E[\sigma^2_{t+1} | \sigma^2_t, r_t] = \omega + (\alpha + \beta) \sigma^2_t + \alpha (r^2_t - \sigma^2_t) +$$ + +If today's squared return exceeds the current variance forecast, tomorrow's forecast increases. + +## Performance Profile + +### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar) + +Per-bar operations after warmup: + +| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal | +| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | +| DIV | 1 | 15 | 15 | +| LOG | 1 | 50 | 50 | +| MUL | 4 | 3 | 12 | +| ADD/SUB | 3 | 1 | 3 | +| FMA | 2 | 4 | 8 | +| SQRT | 1 | 15 | 15 | +| MAX | 1 | 1 | 1 | +| **Total** | — | — | **~104 cycles** | + +### Batch Mode (512 values) + +The GARCH recursion is inherently sequential due to the $\sigma^2_{t-1}$ dependency.

The constructor enforces this constraint. Values near 1.0 produce extreme persistence. + +2. **Parameter selection**: Default $\alpha = 0.2$, $\beta = 0.7$ are reasonable starting points. Higher α = more reactive to shocks; higher β = more persistent. + +3. **Warmup period**: The `period` parameter determines how many observations are used to estimate long-run variance. Too short = noisy estimate; too long = slow to initialize. Default 20 is reasonable for daily data. + +4. **Not a forecast**: The output is the *current* conditional variance, not a prediction. For forecasting, the expected variance $h$ days ahead is: + + $$ + E[\sigma^2_{t+h}] = \bar{\sigma}^2 + (\alpha + \beta)^h (\sigma^2_t - \bar{\sigma}^2) + $$ + +5. **Memory footprint**: Minimal—only stores previous variance and previous close. No rolling buffers required. + +6. **Annualization assumption**: Uses 252 trading days. For crypto (365 days) or other markets, the annualization factor may need adjustment in the calling code. + +## References + +- Engle, R. F. (1982).

Unlike traditional volatility measures that focus on returns, CVI directly tracks the expansion and contraction of price ranges over time. A positive CVI indicates expanding volatility (wider trading ranges), while a negative CVI signals contracting volatility (narrower ranges). This makes CVI particularly useful for identifying breakout conditions and market transitions. + +## Historical Context + +Marc Chaikin developed this indicator as part of his suite of technical analysis tools focused on price and volume dynamics. The indicator emerged from a practical observation: before significant price moves, the trading range often expands as buyers and sellers contest prices more aggressively. + +Traditional volatility measures like standard deviation or ATR tell you the *level* of volatility, but CVI answers a different question: is volatility *increasing* or *decreasing*? This directional information can be more actionable for traders timing entries and exits. + +The indicator combines two smoothing mechanisms: EMA smoothing on the raw high-low range to reduce noise, followed by a Rate of Change (ROC) calculation to measure the trend in volatility. This two-stage approach filters out day-to-day noise while capturing meaningful shifts in market character. + +## Architecture & Physics + +### 1. Range Calculation + +The daily trading range is the difference between high and low prices: + +$$ +R_t = H_t - L_t +$$ + +where: + +- $H_t$ = high price at time $t$ +- $L_t$ = low price at time $t$ +- $R_t$ = range at time $t$ + +This captures the full extent of intraday price movement. + +### 2. EMA Smoothing + +The range is smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average: + +$$ +EMA_t = \alpha \cdot R_t + (1 - \alpha) \cdot EMA_{t-1} +$$ + +where: + +- $\alpha = \frac{2}{smoothLength + 1}$ (smoothing factor) +- Default $smoothLength = 10$ gives $\alpha \approx 0.182$ + +Equivalently, using FMA optimization: + +$$ +EMA_t = (R_t - EMA_{t-1}) \cdot \alpha + EMA_{t-1} +$$ + +### 3. Rate of Change Calculation + +CVI is the percentage change of the smoothed range over the ROC period: + +$$ +CVI_t = \frac{EMA_t - EMA_{t-rocLength}}{EMA_{t-rocLength}} \times 100 +$$ + +where: + +- $rocLength$ = lookback period for ROC (default 10) +- Output is expressed as a percentage + +### 4. Interpretation + +$$ +CVI_t = \begin{cases} +> 0 & \text{Expanding volatility (range increasing)} \\ += 0 & \text{Stable volatility (range unchanged)} \\ +< 0 & \text{Contracting volatility (range decreasing)} +\end{cases} +$$ + +## Mathematical Foundation + +### EMA Properties + +**Smoothing Factor:** + +$$ +\alpha = \frac{2}{n + 1} +$$ + +| smoothLength | α | Half-life (bars) | +| :---: | :---: | :---: | +| 5 | 0.333 | 1.7 | +| 10 | 0.182 | 3.4 | +| 14 | 0.133 | 4.8 | +| 20 | 0.095 | 6.9 | + +**Exponential Decay:** +The weight of a value $k$ bars ago is: + +$$ +w_k = \alpha (1 - \alpha)^k +$$ + +### ROC Properties + +**Percentage Change Formula:** + +$$ +ROC = \frac{V_{current} - V_{prior}}{V_{prior}} \times 100 +$$ + +**Symmetry Note:** +A +50% increase followed by -33% decrease returns to the original value. CVI preserves this percentage-based interpretation. + +### Combined Effect + +The warmup period is the sum of both smoothing requirements: + +$$ +WarmupPeriod = smoothLength + rocLength +$$ + +This ensures both the EMA has stabilized and enough history exists for the ROC calculation. + +## Performance Profile + +### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar) + +Per-bar operations after warmup: + +| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal | +| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | +| SUB (range) | 1 | 1 | 1 | +| FMA (EMA) | 1 | 4 | 4 | +| Buffer lookup | 1 | 3 | 3 | +| SUB | 1 | 1 | 1 | +| DIV | 1 | 15 | 15 | +| MUL (×100) | 1 | 3 | 3 | +| **Total** | — | — | **~27 cycles** | + +The primary cost is the division for the ROC calculation. + +### Batch Mode (512 values, SIMD/FMA) + +| Operation | Scalar Ops | SIMD Ops (AVX2) | Speedup | +| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | +| Range calculation | 512 | 64 | 8× | +| EMA (sequential) | 512 | 512 | 1× | +| ROC calculation | 512 | 64 | 8× | + +**Note:** EMA is inherently sequential due to the $EMA_{t-1}$ dependency.

With defaults (10,10), this means 20 bars. The `IsHot` property indicates when warmup is complete. + +2. **Zero/near-zero old EMA**: If the historical EMA value is very small (near zero), the division can produce extreme or infinite values. The implementation guards against this with an epsilon threshold. + +3. **Interpretation of magnitude**: CVI values are percentages, not absolute ranges. A CVI of +50 means volatility increased 50% compared to $rocLength$ bars ago, regardless of the actual range values. + +4. **Not a directional indicator**: CVI measures volatility direction, not price direction. High CVI can precede moves in either direction. + +5. **Parameter sensitivity**: + - Shorter $smoothLength$ = more responsive to range changes but noisier + - Shorter $rocLength$ = more volatile CVI readings + - Common combinations: (10,10), (14,10), (10,14) + +6. **Requires OHLC data**: Unlike many indicators that work with closing prices only, CVI requires high and low prices. When using TValue input, the value is interpreted as a pre-calculated range. + +7. **Negative ranges**: If TValue input has negative values (invalid for a range), the implementation substitutes the last valid value. + +## Trading Applications + +### Breakout Detection + +High positive CVI values suggest expanding volatility, often preceding breakouts: + +``` +Entry signal: CVI crosses above +20 (volatility expanding) +Confirmation: Price breaks key support/resistance +``` + +### Consolidation Identification + +Sustained negative CVI indicates contracting ranges, typical of consolidation: + +``` +Consolidation: CVI < -10 for several bars +Watch for: CVI reversal signaling potential breakout +``` + +### Volatility Regime Filter + +CVI can filter other signals based on volatility conditions: + +``` +Trade breakouts when: CVI > 0 (expanding volatility) +Avoid range trades when: CVI rising sharply +``` + +## References + +- Chaikin, M.

Unlike simple historical volatility that weights all observations equally, EWMA gives more weight to recent observations while still considering historical data, making it more responsive to current market conditions. + +## Historical Context + +Exponentially Weighted Moving Average volatility emerged from J.P. Morgan's RiskMetrics methodology in the 1990s. The approach addressed a key limitation of simple historical volatility: equal weighting of all past observations regardless of age. Financial practitioners recognized that recent market movements often provide more relevant information about current risk than distant historical data. + +The original RiskMetrics Technical Document (1996) proposed a "decay factor" (λ) of 0.94 for daily data, meaning approximately 6% weight goes to the most recent observation. This implementation uses an equivalent RMA (Running Moving Average) formulation with period-based smoothing plus bias correction to address the initialization problem that affects early estimates. + +## Architecture & Physics + +### 1. Log Return Calculation + +The foundation uses continuously compounded returns: + +$$ +r_t = \ln\left(\frac{P_t}{P_{t-1}}\right) +$$ + +Log returns are preferred over simple returns because: +- They are additive across time periods +- They are symmetric (±10% moves have similar magnitude) +- They approximate percentage changes for small movements + +### 2. RMA Smoothing of Squared Returns + +The squared returns are smoothed using RMA (Running Moving Average): + +$$ +\text{RMA}_t = \frac{\text{RMA}_{t-1} \times (period - 1) + r_t^2}{period} +$$ + +This is equivalent to an EMA with smoothing factor $\alpha = 1/period$: + +$$ +\text{RMA}_t = (1 - \alpha) \times \text{RMA}_{t-1} + \alpha \times r_t^2 +$$ + +### 3. Bias Correction + +The bias correction factor addresses the initialization problem where early estimates are biased toward zero: + +$$ +e_t = (1 - \alpha)^t +$$ + +$$ +\text{CorrectedVariance}_t = \frac{\text{RMA}_t}{1 - e_t} +$$ + +As $t \to \infty$, the correction factor approaches 1, having negligible effect on mature estimates. + +### 4. Volatility Output + +The volatility is the square root of the corrected variance: + +$$ +\sigma_t = \sqrt{\text{CorrectedVariance}_t} +$$ + +With optional annualization: + +$$ +\sigma_{annual} = \sigma_t \times \sqrt{T} +$$ + +where $T$ is the number of periods per year (252 for daily, 52 for weekly, 12 for monthly). + +## Mathematical Foundation + +### Decay Factor Relationship + +The period parameter maps to the traditional RiskMetrics decay factor: + +$$ +\lambda = \frac{period - 1}{period} = 1 - \frac{1}{period} +$$ + +For period = 20: $\lambda = 0.95$ (5% weight on new observation) +For period = 10: $\lambda = 0.90$ (10% weight on new observation) + +### Effective Window + +The effective window (where ~95% of weight is concentrated) is approximately: + +$$ +\text{EffectiveWindow} \approx \frac{2}{\alpha} = 2 \times period +$$ + +### Bias Correction Derivation + +The uncorrected RMA is a biased estimator because: + +$$ +E[\text{RMA}_t] = E[r^2] \times (1 - (1-\alpha)^t) +$$ + +Dividing by $(1 - (1-\alpha)^t)$ produces an unbiased estimator. + +## Performance Profile + +### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar) + +| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal | +| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | +| LOG | 1 | 50 | 50 | +| DIV | 2 | 15 | 30 | +| MUL | 3 | 3 | 9 | +| FMA | 1 | 4 | 4 | +| SQRT | 1 | 15 | 15 | +| ADD/SUB | 2 | 1 | 2 | +| CMP | 3 | 1 | 3 | +| **Total** | **13** | — | **~113 cycles** | + +The LOG operation dominates the cost.

The mathematical properties and mode consistency are validated through comprehensive unit tests. + +## Common Pitfalls + +1. **Annualization Confusion**: The `annualPeriods` parameter should match your data frequency. Use 252 for daily bars, 52 for weekly, 12 for monthly. Using incorrect values produces misleading annualized volatility. + +2. **Period Selection**: Shorter periods (e.g., 10) respond faster to volatility changes but are noisier. Longer periods (e.g., 50) are smoother but slower to react. The classic RiskMetrics λ=0.94 corresponds to period≈17. + +3. **First Value Interpretation**: The first output is always 0 (no return calculated yet). The second output may show high volatility if there's a large price change from the first bar. + +4. **Log Return Assumptions**: EWMA assumes returns are approximately normally distributed. During extreme market events (fat tails), volatility may be underestimated. + +5. **Bar Correction (isNew=false)**: When correcting the current bar's price, the indicator properly rolls back state. Multiple corrections within the same bar are handled correctly. + +6. **Invalid Inputs**: NaN, Infinity, zero, and negative prices are replaced with the last valid price to maintain calculation continuity. + +## References + +- J.P.

It's like judging a book by its last page." + +Garman-Klass Volatility (GKV) is a range-based volatility estimator that uses all four OHLC prices to provide more efficient volatility estimates than traditional close-to-close methods. Developed by Mark Garman and Michael Klass in 1980, this estimator achieves theoretical efficiency gains of 7-8x over simple close-to-close variance by incorporating intraday price information. The implementation includes RMA (Wilder's) smoothing with bias correction and optional annualization. + +## Historical Context + +Mark B. Garman and Michael J. Klass introduced this estimator in their 1980 paper "On the Estimation of Security Price Volatilities from Historical Data," published in the Journal of Business. Their work addressed a fundamental inefficiency: close-to-close volatility estimators discard valuable intraday price information. + +The Garman-Klass estimator derives from the theory of diffusion processes, assuming prices follow geometric Brownian motion. The key insight is that the high-low range contains significant information about volatility that close-to-close methods ignore. By weighting the log-range and open-close components appropriately, the GK estimator achieves near-optimal efficiency under the assumption of continuous trading with no drift. + +The famous coefficient $2\ln(2) - 1 \approx 0.386$ emerges from the mathematical derivation as the optimal weight for the open-close component. This specific value minimizes the variance of the estimator under the Brownian motion assumption. + +## Architecture & Physics + +### 1. Log Price Transformation + +All calculations use log prices to normalize percentage returns: + +$$ +\ln H_t, \ln L_t, \ln O_t, \ln C_t +$$ + +where: + +- $H_t, L_t, O_t, C_t$ = High, Low, Open, Close prices at time $t$ + +Log transformation ensures that equal percentage moves have equal magnitude regardless of price level. + +### 2. Garman-Klass Estimator + +The single-period GK variance estimator combines two terms: + +$$ +\hat{\sigma}^2_{GK,t} = 0.5 \cdot (\ln H_t - \ln L_t)^2 - (2\ln 2 - 1) \cdot (\ln C_t - \ln O_t)^2 +$$ + +Equivalently: + +$$ +\hat{\sigma}^2_{GK,t} = \underbrace{0.5 \cdot r_{HL}^2}_{\text{term1}} - \underbrace{0.386 \cdot r_{CO}^2}_{\text{term2}} +$$ + +where: + +- $r_{HL} = \ln H_t - \ln L_t$ (log high-low range) +- $r_{CO} = \ln C_t - \ln O_t$ (log close-open return) +- $2\ln 2 - 1 \approx 0.38629436$ (Garman-Klass coefficient) + +### 3. RMA Smoothing with Bias Correction + +The raw estimator is smoothed using an RMA (Wilder's Moving Average): + +$$ +RMA_t^{raw} = RMA_{t-1}^{raw} \cdot (1 - \alpha) + \alpha \cdot \hat{\sigma}^2_{GK,t} +$$ + +where: + +- $\alpha = 1 / period$ +- Default $period = 20$ + +Bias correction compensates for the exponential startup: + +$$ +e_t = (1 - \alpha)^t +$$ + +$$ +RMA_t^{corrected} = \frac{RMA_t^{raw}}{1 - e_t} +$$ + +### 4. Volatility Calculation + +Convert variance to volatility (standard deviation): + +$$ +\sigma_t = \sqrt{RMA_t^{corrected}} +$$ + +### 5. Optional Annualization + +If annualization is enabled (default): + +$$ +\sigma_{annual,t} = \sigma_t \times \sqrt{N} +$$ + +where $N$ = annual periods (default 252 trading days). + +## Mathematical Foundation + +### Garman-Klass Coefficient Derivation + +The coefficient $2\ln 2 - 1$ arises from minimizing the variance of the estimator under Brownian motion assumptions.

With default period=20, the first 19 values are warming up. The `IsHot` property indicates when warmup is complete. + +2. **Negative estimator values**: The GK estimator can produce negative values when the close-open range dominates the high-low range (e.g., gap days with narrow trading range). The implementation handles this by returning zero volatility for negative variance. + +3. **Invalid OHLC data**: Prices must be positive for log transformation. Zero or negative prices, or logically invalid OHLC (high < low, etc.) trigger last-valid-value substitution. + +4. **Annualization assumption**: Default annualization assumes 252 trading days/year. For other frequencies (hourly, weekly), adjust the `annualPeriods` parameter accordingly. + +5. **Drift assumption**: The GK estimator assumes zero drift (no trend). During strong trends, the estimator may underestimate volatility. Consider Rogers-Satchell or Yang-Zhang for trending markets. + +6. **Gap sensitivity**: Unlike close-to-close methods, GKV doesn't directly capture overnight gaps. A stock that gaps up 5% then trades in a narrow range will show low GKV despite the gap. + +7. **Not a trading signal**: GKV measures volatility magnitude, not direction. High volatility can precede moves in either direction; use with directional indicators for trading signals. + +## Trading Applications + +### Position Sizing + +Use GKV to scale position sizes inversely with volatility: + +``` +Position size = Risk per trade / (GKV × Price × ATR multiplier) +``` + +Lower GKV allows larger positions; higher GKV requires smaller positions. + +### Options Pricing Input + +GKV provides a realized volatility estimate for comparison with implied volatility: + +``` +If IV > GKV significantly: Options may be overpriced (sell vol) +If IV < GKV significantly: Options may be underpriced (buy vol) +``` + +### Regime Detection + +Track GKV percentile rank over lookback period: + +``` +High rank (>80%): High volatility regime — reduce position size, widen stops +Low rank (<20%): Low volatility regime — potential for breakout +``` + +### Volatility Breakout Filter + +Combine GKV with rate-of-change: + +``` +Signal: GKV crosses above 20-bar high → volatility expansion +Confirmation: Wait for directional move +``` + +## References + +- Garman, M.

When you only need the peaks and valleys, why ask for the whole journey?" + +High-Low Volatility (HLV), also known as the Parkinson estimator, is a range-based volatility measure that uses only the high and low prices of each period. Developed by Michael Parkinson in 1980, this estimator achieves approximately 5x better efficiency than close-to-close methods by exploiting the information content in the trading range. The implementation includes RMA (Wilder's) smoothing with bias correction and optional annualization. + +## Historical Context + +Michael Parkinson introduced this estimator in his 1980 paper "The Extreme Value Method for Estimating the Variance of the Rate of Return," published in the Journal of Business. The paper demonstrated that the high-low range of a diffusion process contains significantly more information about volatility than the closing price alone. + +The Parkinson estimator is the simplest of the range-based volatility estimators, requiring only two data points per period (high and low) rather than the four required by Garman-Klass or Yang-Zhang. This simplicity makes it particularly useful when open and close prices are unavailable or unreliable, such as in some commodity markets or older historical data. + +The famous coefficient $\frac{1}{4\ln 2} \approx 0.3607$ emerges from the mathematical derivation assuming prices follow a continuous geometric Brownian motion without drift. This coefficient normalizes the squared log range to produce an unbiased variance estimate. + +## Architecture & Physics + +### 1. Log Price Transformation + +All calculations use log prices to normalize percentage returns: + +$$ +\ln H_t, \ln L_t +$$ + +where: + +- $H_t, L_t$ = High, Low prices at time $t$ + +Log transformation ensures that equal percentage moves have equal magnitude regardless of price level. + +### 2. Parkinson Estimator + +The single-period Parkinson variance estimator uses only the log high-low range: + +$$ +\hat{\sigma}^2_{P,t} = \frac{1}{4\ln 2} \cdot (\ln H_t - \ln L_t)^2 +$$ + +Equivalently: + +$$ +\hat{\sigma}^2_{P,t} = C \cdot r_{HL}^2 +$$ + +where: + +- $r_{HL} = \ln H_t - \ln L_t$ (log high-low range) +- $C = \frac{1}{4\ln 2} \approx 0.36067376$ (Parkinson coefficient) + +### 3. RMA Smoothing with Bias Correction + +The raw estimator is smoothed using an RMA (Wilder's Moving Average): + +$$ +RMA_t^{raw} = RMA_{t-1}^{raw} \cdot (1 - \alpha) + \alpha \cdot \hat{\sigma}^2_{P,t} +$$ + +where: + +- $\alpha = 1 / period$ +- Default $period = 20$ + +Bias correction compensates for the exponential startup: + +$$ +e_t = (1 - \alpha)^t +$$ + +$$ +RMA_t^{corrected} = \frac{RMA_t^{raw}}{1 - e_t} +$$ + +### 4. Volatility Calculation + +Convert variance to volatility (standard deviation): + +$$ +\sigma_t = \sqrt{RMA_t^{corrected}} +$$ + +### 5. Optional Annualization + +If annualization is enabled (default): + +$$ +\sigma_{annual,t} = \sigma_t \times \sqrt{N} +$$ + +where $N$ = annual periods (default 252 trading days). + +## Mathematical Foundation + +### Parkinson Coefficient Derivation + +The coefficient $\frac{1}{4\ln 2}$ arises from the distribution of the range of a standard Brownian motion.

With default period=20, the first 19 values are warming up. The `IsHot` property indicates when warmup is complete. + +2. **Zero range handling**: When high equals low (no trading range), the log range is zero, producing zero volatility for that bar. This can occur with limit-locked securities or thin markets. + +3. **Invalid price data**: Prices must be positive for log transformation. Zero or negative prices, or logically invalid data (high < low) trigger last-valid-value substitution. + +4. **Annualization assumption**: Default annualization assumes 252 trading days/year. For other frequencies (hourly, weekly), adjust the `annualPeriods` parameter accordingly. + +5. **Drift bias**: The Parkinson estimator assumes zero drift (no trend). During strong trends, the estimator tends to underestimate volatility because trending prices compress the high-low range relative to the true volatility. + +6. **No overnight information**: Unlike close-to-close methods, HLV doesn't capture overnight gaps at all. It only measures intraday range volatility, missing inter-day price movements. + +7. **Comparison with GKV**: HLV is simpler (2 prices vs 4) but less efficient (5.2x vs 7.4x). Use GKV when OHLC data is available and reliability matters; use HLV when only high-low data exists. + +## Trading Applications + +### Position Sizing + +Use HLV to scale position sizes inversely with volatility: + +``` +Position size = Risk per trade / (HLV × Price × multiplier) +``` + +Lower HLV allows larger positions; higher HLV requires smaller positions. + +### Volatility Comparison + +Compare HLV across similar assets: + +``` +If Asset A HLV < Asset B HLV: Asset A has lower intraday volatility +Useful for: Sector rotation, pairs trading selection +``` + +### Range Breakout Calibration + +Use HLV to set dynamic breakout thresholds: + +``` +Breakout threshold = Current price ± (HLV × K × Price) +where K is a multiplier (typically 1.5-3.0) +``` + +### Volatility Regime Detection + +Track HLV percentile rank over lookback period: + +``` +High rank (>80%): High volatility regime — reduce position size, widen stops +Low rank (<20%): Low volatility regime — potential for breakout +``` + +### Options Pricing Input + +HLV provides a realized volatility estimate for comparison with implied volatility: + +``` +If IV > HLV significantly: Options may be overpriced (sell vol) +If IV < HLV significantly: Options may be underpriced (buy vol) +Note: HLV may underestimate true volatility due to drift bias +``` + +## References + +- Parkinson, M.

First formalized in the early 20th century and central to the Black-Scholes option pricing model, HV remains the benchmark against which all other volatility estimators are compared. This implementation uses population standard deviation with a rolling window and optional annualization. + +## Historical Context + +The close-to-close volatility estimator predates most range-based alternatives, with its mathematical foundations established alongside the development of stochastic calculus and diffusion processes. The estimator became central to quantitative finance with the publication of the Black-Scholes model in 1973, which explicitly required an estimate of stock price volatility. + +Louis Bachelier's 1900 thesis "Théorie de la spéculation" laid the groundwork, modeling price changes as Brownian motion. Fischer Black, Myron Scholes, and Robert Merton formalized the use of historical standard deviation of log returns as the volatility parameter in option pricing. + +Despite the development of more efficient estimators (Parkinson 1980, Garman-Klass 1980, Yang-Zhang 2000), close-to-close volatility remains the most widely used and understood measure because: +1. It requires only closing prices, universally available +2. It directly measures what options traders care about—settlement-to-settlement variation +3. It serves as the baseline efficiency benchmark (efficiency = 1.0) + +## Architecture & Physics + +### 1. Log Return Calculation + +Each period's return is computed as the natural logarithm of price ratios: + +$$ +r_t = \ln\left(\frac{P_t}{P_{t-1}}\right) +$$ + +where: + +- $P_t$ = Closing price at time $t$ +- $P_{t-1}$ = Closing price at time $t-1$ + +Log returns are preferred because they: +- Are time-additive: $r_{t_0 \to t_2} = r_{t_0 \to t_1} + r_{t_1 \to t_2}$ +- Normalize percentage changes symmetrically around zero +- Cannot produce prices below zero when simulating + +### 2. Rolling Window Statistics + +The implementation maintains a rolling window of $n$ log returns and computes population variance using the computational formula: + +$$ +\sigma^2 = E[X^2] - E[X]^2 = \frac{\sum r_i^2}{n} - \left(\frac{\sum r_i}{n}\right)^2 +$$ + +Two running sums are maintained: +- $\sum r_i$ — sum of returns +- $\sum r_i^2$ — sum of squared returns + +This enables O(1) update complexity per new bar. + +### 3. Population vs Sample Variance + +This implementation uses **population variance** (dividing by $n$) rather than sample variance (dividing by $n-1$). For typical periods (14-30 returns), the difference is small: + +| Period | Sample/Pop Ratio | +| :---: | :---: | +| 10 | 1.111 | +| 14 | 1.077 | +| 20 | 1.053 | +| 30 | 1.034 | + +Population variance provides a consistent estimator for the rolling window and matches the implementation in most trading platforms. + +### 4. Volatility Calculation + +Convert variance to volatility (standard deviation): + +$$ +\sigma_t = \sqrt{variance} +$$ + +### 5. Optional Annualization + +If annualization is enabled (default): + +$$ +\sigma_{annual,t} = \sigma_t \times \sqrt{N} +$$ + +where $N$ = annual periods (default 252 trading days). + +## Mathematical Foundation + +### Log Return Properties + +For a geometric Brownian motion $dS = \mu S dt + \sigma S dW$: + +The log return over interval $\Delta t$ is: + +$$ +r = \ln\left(\frac{S_t}{S_{t-1}}\right) = \left(\mu - \frac{\sigma^2}{2}\right)\Delta t + \sigma \sqrt{\Delta t} \cdot Z +$$ + +where $Z \sim N(0,1)$. + +The variance of log returns is: + +$$ +\text{Var}(r) = \sigma^2 \Delta t +$$ + +Therefore, the annualized volatility is: + +$$ +\sigma_{annual} = \frac{\sigma_{period}}{\sqrt{\Delta t}} = \sigma_{period} \times \sqrt{N} +$$ + +### Efficiency Comparison + +| Estimator | Relative Efficiency | Data Required | +| :--- | :---: | :--- | +| **Close-to-Close (HV)** | **1.0** | **C** | +| Parkinson (HLV) | 5.2 | H, L | +| Garman-Klass (GKV) | 7.4 | O, H, L, C | +| Rogers-Satchell | 8.4 | O, H, L, C | +| Yang-Zhang | 14.0 | O, H, L, C | + +HV (close-to-close) is the efficiency baseline.

The implementation is validated against the mathematical formula and PineScript reference. + +## Common Pitfalls + +1. **Warmup period**: HV requires `period + 1` prices before producing valid results. With default period=20, you need 21 prices to generate 20 returns. The `IsHot` property indicates when warmup is complete. + +2. **Zero or negative prices**: Log transformation requires positive prices. Zero or negative values trigger last-valid-value substitution to prevent NaN propagation. + +3. **Constant prices**: When all prices in the window are identical, returns are zero, producing zero volatility. This is mathematically correct but may indicate data issues. + +4. **Annualization assumptions**: Default annualization assumes 252 trading days/year. For intraday data, cryptocurrency (365 days), or weekly data, adjust `annualPeriods` accordingly. + +5. **Mean return assumption**: The standard formula implicitly subtracts the mean return. During strong trends, this captures both directional movement and noise, potentially overstating "noise" volatility. + +6. **Population vs sample variance**: This implementation uses population variance (n divisor). If comparing with implementations using sample variance (n-1 divisor), expect slight differences: sample/pop ratio ≈ n/(n-1). + +7. **Overnight gaps**: Unlike range-based estimators, HV fully captures overnight gaps (close-to-close movements). This can be an advantage (complete picture) or disadvantage (includes information not tradeable intraday). + +8. **Comparison with range-based**: HV is 5.2× less efficient than Parkinson (HLV) and 7.4× less efficient than Garman-Klass (GKV).
