+/// Chaikin's Volatility measures the rate of change of the EMA-smoothed high-low range.
+/// It identifies periods of increasing or decreasing trading range volatility by comparing
+/// the current smoothed range to a prior value.
+///
+/// Formula:
+/// <c>Range_t = High_t - Low_t</c>
+/// <c>EMA_t = EMA(Range, smoothLength)</c>
+/// <c>CVI = ((EMA_t - EMA_{t-rocLength}) / EMA_{t-rocLength}) × 100</c>
+///
+/// Key properties:
+/// - Positive values indicate expanding volatility
+/// - Negative values indicate contracting volatility
+/// - Uses High-Low range (requires OHLC data)
+/// - EMA smoothing reduces noise before ROC calculation

+# CVI: Chaikin's Volatility
+
+> "Volatility expansion precedes major moves—when the trading range starts widening, pay attention."
+
+Chaikin's Volatility (CVI) measures the rate of change of the EMA-smoothed high-low trading range. 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. Total batch improvement is limited by this constraint.
+
+### Memory Profile
+
+- **Per instance:** ~80 bytes (state struct + RingBuffer header)
+- **RingBuffer:** $(rocLength + 1) \times 8$ bytes for EMA history
+- **Default (10,10):** ~80 + 88 = ~168 bytes per instance
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **Accuracy** | 8/10 | Direct measure of range dynamics |
+| **Timeliness** | 7/10 | EMA introduces lag |
+| **Smoothness** | 8/10 | Two-stage smoothing reduces noise |
+| **Interpretability** | 9/10 | Clear meaning: + expanding, - contracting |
+| **Robustness** | 8/10 | Handles gaps and spikes well |
+
+## Validation
+
+CVI is a classic indicator with multiple implementations:
+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not implemented |
+| **Skender** | N/A | Not implemented |
+| **Tulip** | N/A | Not implemented |
+| **OoplesFinance** | N/A | Not implemented |
+| **PineScript** | ✅ | Matches cvi.pine reference |
+| **Manual** | ✅ | Validated against formula |
+
+Note: While many libraries include ATR or standard deviation-based volatility, Chaikin's specific ROC-of-EMA-range formulation is less common.
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Warmup period**: CVI requires $smoothLength + rocLength$ bars before producing meaningful results. 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
+```
