Add Savitzky-Golay Moving Average (SGMA) Indicator Implementation

- Implemented SgmaIndicator class in C# with properties for Period, Degree, and Source. - Added unit tests for SgmaIndicator covering constructor defaults, initialization, and various update scenarios. - Created a new Quantower adapter for the SGMA indicator, including input parameters and line series setup. - Removed legacy SGMA implementation and tests to streamline the codebase. - Updated project files to include new indicator and tests in the build process. - Generated a missing indicators report and outlined a plan for oscillator documentation rewrite.

+/// CHANDELIER: Chandelier Exit
+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+/// ATR-based trailing stop indicator producing two overlay lines (ExitLong, ExitShort).
+/// Developed by Charles Le Beau and popularized by Alexander Elder.
+///
+/// Calculation:
+/// <code>
+/// ATR         = Wilder's SMA-seeded RMA(TrueRange, period)
+/// ExitLong    = HighestHigh(period) - multiplier × ATR
+/// ExitShort   = LowestLow(period)   + multiplier × ATR
+/// </code>
+///
+/// <b>Key characteristics:</b>
+/// - O(1) amortized update via MonotonicDeque sliding windows
+/// - Inline SMA-seeded Wilder ATR (skips first bar's TR, matches Skender/TA-Lib convention)
+/// - Dual output: ExitLong (long position exit) and ExitShort (short position exit)
+/// - Default parameters: period=22, multiplier=3.0
+/// </remarks>

+# CHANDELIER: Chandelier Exit
+
+> "The exit is more important than the entry. Everyone knows where to get in; getting out alive is the real trick."
+
+The Chandelier Exit computes ATR-based trailing stop levels that hang from the highest high (for longs) or rise from the lowest low (for shorts) over a lookback period. It produces two overlay lines: ExitLong (trailing stop for long positions) and ExitShort (trailing stop for short positions). Developed by Charles Le Beau and popularized by Alexander Elder. Default parameters: period 22, multiplier 3.0.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+Charles Le Beau introduced the Chandelier Exit concept in the early 1990s, named because it "hangs down from the ceiling" of the market, like a chandelier. The idea was formalized in his work on systematic trading exits and later popularized by Dr. Alexander Elder in *Come Into My Trading Room* (2002).
+
+The design addresses the fundamental problem of fixed-point exits: a $2 stop on a $10 stock (20%) is aggressive, while the same $2 stop on a $200 stock (1%) is pathologically tight. By anchoring exits to ATR, the Chandelier Exit auto-calibrates to each instrument's volatility regime.
+
+The indicator is closely related to SuperTrend (which uses ATR bands around HL2 with state flipping) and Chande Kroll Stop (which adds a second smoothing stage). Where SuperTrend provides a single trend-following line with binary state, Chandelier Exit provides two independent trailing stops without trend state. Where Chande Kroll Stop smooths through a second rolling window, Chandelier Exit provides raw ATR-offset extremes, favoring responsiveness over smoothness.
+
+Most implementations use Wilder's ATR (SMA-seeded RMA), matching the methodology used by Skender.Stock.Indicators and TradingView's reference implementations. This QuanTAlib implementation uses inline SMA-seeded Wilder's smoothing rather than bias-compensated EMA, ensuring exact match with Skender at machine precision.
+
+## Architecture and Physics
+
+The computation proceeds in two stages:
+
+### 1. True Range and ATR
+
+True Range captures gap-adjusted volatility:
+
+$$ TR_t = \max(H_t - L_t,\ |H_t - C_{t-1}|,\ |L_t - C_{t-1}|) $$
+
+ATR uses SMA-seeded Wilder's RMA. The first bar's TR is skipped (set to 0). Bars 2 through $N+1$ accumulate TR into an SMA seed. After seeding:
+
+$$ ATR_t = \frac{ATR_{t-1} \times (N-1) + TR_t}{N} $$
+
+This is equivalent to EMA with $\alpha = 1/N$ but with an explicit SMA seed rather than bias compensation. The two approaches converge asymptotically but differ during warmup and early post-warmup bars.
+
+### 2. Chandelier Exits
+
+Exit levels anchor to rolling extremes offset by scaled ATR:
+
+$$ \text{ExitLong}_t = \max(H_{t-N+1}, \ldots, H_t) - m \times ATR_t $$
+
+$$ \text{ExitShort}_t = \min(L_{t-N+1}, \ldots, L_t) + m \times ATR_t $$
+
+ExitLong trails below the highest high: if price falls below this level, the uptrend may be exhausted. ExitShort trails above the lowest low: if price rises above this level, the downtrend may be reversing.
+
+### Signal Interpretation
+
+| Condition | Interpretation |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| Price > ExitLong | Uptrend intact; hold long position |
+| Price < ExitLong | Potential long exit; uptrend may be over |
+| Price < ExitShort | Downtrend intact; hold short position |
+| Price > ExitShort | Potential short exit; downtrend may be over |
+| ExitLong rising | Strengthening uptrend; new highs being set |
+| ExitShort falling | Strengthening downtrend; new lows being set |
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Symbol | Default | Range | Effect |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :--- | :--- |
+| Period | $N$ | 22 | $\geq 1$ | Lookback for ATR and rolling HH/LL window |
+| Multiplier | $m$ | 3.0 | $> 0$ | ATR scaling factor; larger = wider stops |
+
+### Warmup Period
+
+$$ W = N $$
+
+The indicator requires $N$ bars to establish ATR and rolling extremes. With defaults: $W = 22$. However, the SMA-seeded ATR does not produce valid values until bar $N+1$, meaning the first $N$ bars' ATR reads as 0.
+
+### Parameter Sensitivity
+
+**Period ($N$)**: Controls the lookback window for both ATR calculation and highest-high/lowest-low tracking. Shorter periods make exits more reactive (tighter stops) but increase whipsaw risk. Longer periods provide more stable exits but lag trend changes. Common ranges: 14-28 for equities, 7-14 for crypto.
+
+**Multiplier ($m$)**: Directly scales stop distance. At $m = 1.0$, stops sit one ATR from the extreme. At $m = 3.0$ (default), stops allow three ATRs of breathing room. The relationship is linear: doubling $m$ doubles the stop distance from the extreme. Higher multiplier means ExitLong drops lower and ExitShort rises higher, widening the gap between them.
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Implementation Design
+
+The implementation uses two monotonic deques for O(1) amortized rolling max/min operations (highest high, lowest low) with corresponding circular buffers. ATR is computed inline using SMA-seeded Wilder's smoothing with FMA optimization, eliminating the need for a child RMA indicator.
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Complexity** | O(1) amortized | Monotonic deque operations; O(n) worst-case per element but amortized constant |
+| **Allocations** | 0 | Hot path is allocation-free; all buffers pre-allocated |
+| **Warmup** | $N$ bars | 22 bars with defaults |
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact match with Skender at precision 8 |
+| **Timeliness** | 7/10 | Default period of 22 introduces moderate lag |
+| **Smoothness** | 6/10 | Single-stage ATR offset; no secondary smoothing |
+
+### State Management
+
+Internal state uses a `record struct` with local copy pattern for JIT struct promotion. The state tracks previous close (for TR calculation), ATR accumulator (SumTr), current ATR value, and last-valid substitution values for NaN/Infinity robustness. Bar correction via `isNew` flag enables same-timestamp rewrites without state corruption.
+
+## Validation
+
+Self-consistency validation confirms all four API modes produce identical results:
+
+| Mode | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Streaming** (`Update`) | ✅ | Bar-by-bar with `isNew` support |
+| **Batch** (`Update(TBarSeries)`) | ✅ | Matches streaming output |
+| **Span** (`Batch(Span)`) | ✅ | Matches streaming output |
+| **Event** (`Pub` subscription) | ✅ | Matches streaming output |
+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **QuanTAlib** | ✅ | All 4 modes self-consistent |
+| **Skender** | ✅ | Exact match via `GetChandelier()` at precision 8 (both Long and Short) |
+| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not implemented |
+| **Tulip** | N/A | Not implemented |
+| **Ooples** | N/A | Not implemented |
+
+Cross-validation with Skender.Stock.Indicators confirms exact numerical match for both ExitLong (`ChandelierType.Long`) and ExitShort (`ChandelierType.Short`) using `GetChandelier(22, 3.0)` with tolerance of $10^{-8}$.
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **ATR smoothing method matters.** Using bias-compensated EMA (standard `Rma` class) instead of SMA-seeded Wilder RMA produces a systematic ATR offset (~0.5 for typical equity data) that persists indefinitely. This implementation uses inline SMA-seeded ATR to match Skender exactly. If you see persistent 1-2 point differences with reference implementations, check your ATR seeding method.
+
+2. **Multiplier direction is intuitive here (unlike CKSTOP).** Increasing $m$ widens the gap between ExitLong and ExitShort. ExitLong drops lower (more room below HH); ExitShort rises higher (more room above LL). This is the opposite of Chande Kroll Stop, where higher multiplier narrows the gap.
+
+3. **First bar's TR is skipped.** The SMA-seeded Wilder convention treats bar 1's TR as 0 and begins accumulation from bar 2. This is a seeding convention, not a bug. It matches Skender, TradingView, and most standard implementations.
+
+4. **ExitLong is not always below price.** In a strong downtrend, the highest high over 22 bars may be far above current price, but ATR is also elevated. The ExitLong line can sit well above current price in such conditions, which is correct behavior (it signals the long position should have already been exited).
+
+5. **No trend state.** Unlike SuperTrend which flips between bullish/bearish bands, Chandelier Exit always outputs both lines. The trader decides which line is relevant based on their position direction. This makes it more flexible but requires active interpretation.
+
+6. **Period 22 is not arbitrary.** It represents approximately one trading month (22 business days). For crypto (24/7 markets), consider period 30. For weekly charts, period 4-5 captures one month.
+
+7. **Gap sensitivity in thin markets.** True Range includes gap components ($|H - C_{prev}|$ and $|L - C_{prev}|$). In illiquid instruments with frequent gaps, ATR may be dominated by gap noise rather than intrabar volatility. Consider longer periods to smooth this out.

+/// CKSTOP: Chande Kroll Stop
+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+/// ATR-based trailing stop indicator producing two overlay lines (StopLong, StopShort).
+/// Developed by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll ("The New Technical Trader", 1994).
+///
+/// Calculation:
+/// <code>
+/// Step 1: ATR = RMA(TrueRange, atrPeriod)
+/// Step 2: first_high_stop = HighestHigh(atrPeriod) - multiplier × ATR
+///         first_low_stop  = LowestLow(atrPeriod)  + multiplier × ATR
+/// Step 3: StopShort = Highest(first_high_stop, stopPeriod)
+///         StopLong  = Lowest(first_low_stop, stopPeriod)
+/// </code>
+///
+/// <b>Key characteristics:</b>
+/// - O(1) amortized update via MonotonicDeque sliding windows
+/// - Composes internal RMA child indicator for ATR smoothing
+/// - Dual output: StopLong (long position stop) and StopShort (short position stop)
+/// - Default parameters: atrPeriod=10, multiplier=1.0, stopPeriod=9

+# CKSTOP: Chande Kroll Stop
+
+> "The best stop-loss is the one that knows where volatility ends and trend begins."
+
+The Chande Kroll Stop computes adaptive trailing stop levels using ATR-smoothed volatility envelopes around rolling extremes. It produces two lines: StopLong (support) and StopShort (resistance). When price trades above both stops, the trend is bullish. When below both, bearish. Crossovers between the two stops signal potential reversals.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll introduced this indicator in their 1994 book *The New Technical Trader*. The design addressed a persistent problem in trailing stop systems: fixed-distance stops get whipsawed in volatile markets and leave money on the table in quiet ones. Their solution was to anchor stops to ATR-scaled extremes, then smooth the result through a second rolling window.
+
+Most implementations follow PineScript's `ta.ckstop()` function, which uses RMA (Wilder's smoothing) for the ATR calculation. This matters because RMA has a longer effective memory than SMA-based ATR, producing smoother stop levels that resist noise better.
+
+The indicator sits in a design lineage that includes Parabolic SAR (acceleration-based), SuperTrend (ATR band flipping), and Keltner Channels (ATR envelopes). Where PSAR accelerates toward price and SuperTrend flips state, Chande Kroll Stop maintains both levels simultaneously, letting the trader interpret the relationship between them.
+
+## Architecture and Physics
+
+The computation proceeds in three stages, each building on the previous:
+
+### 1. True Range and ATR
+
+True Range captures gap-adjusted volatility:
+
+$$ TR_t = \max(H_t - L_t,\ |H_t - C_{t-1}|,\ |L_t - C_{t-1}|) $$
+
+ATR smooths TR using Wilder's RMA (equivalent to EMA with $\alpha = 1/p$):
+
+$$ ATR_t = RMA(TR, p) $$
+
+### 2. First Stop (Volatility Envelope)
+
+The first stop levels anchor to rolling extremes offset by ATR:
+
+$$ \text{first\_high\_stop}_t = \max(H_{t-p+1}, \ldots, H_t) - q \times ATR_t $$
+
+$$ \text{first\_low\_stop}_t = \min(L_{t-p+1}, \ldots, L_t) + q \times ATR_t $$
+
+The highest-high minus ATR forms a preliminary resistance level. The lowest-low plus ATR forms preliminary support. The multiplier $q$ controls how far from the extreme the stop sits.
+
+### 3. Final Stop (Smoothed Extremes)
+
+The final stops apply a second rolling window to the first stops:
+
+$$ \text{StopShort}_t = \max(\text{first\_high\_stop}_{t-x+1}, \ldots, \text{first\_high\_stop}_t) $$
+
+$$ \text{StopLong}_t = \min(\text{first\_low\_stop}_{t-x+1}, \ldots, \text{first\_low\_stop}_t) $$
+
+Taking the highest of the first high stops over $x$ periods produces resistance that ratchets up during downtrends. Taking the lowest of the first low stops produces support that ratchets down during uptrends.
+
+### Signal Interpretation
+
+| Condition | Interpretation |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| Price > StopLong and Price > StopShort | Bullish trend |
+| Price < StopLong and Price < StopShort | Bearish trend |
+| StopLong crosses above StopShort | Bullish reversal signal |
+| StopShort crosses below StopLong | Bearish reversal signal |
+| StopLong $\approx$ StopShort | Consolidation / indecision |
+
+## Mathematical Foundation
+
+### Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Symbol | Default | Range | Effect |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :--- | :--- |
+| ATR Period | $p$ | 10 | $\geq 1$ | Length of ATR and first-stop extreme window |
+| Multiplier | $q$ | 1.0 | $> 0$ | ATR scaling factor; larger = wider stops |
+| Stop Period | $x$ | 9 | $\geq 1$ | Second smoothing window for final stops |
+
+### Warmup Period
+
+$$ W = p + x $$
+
+The indicator requires $p$ bars to establish ATR and rolling extremes, then $x$ additional bars to smooth the first stops into final stops. With defaults: $W = 10 + 9 = 19$.
+
+### Parameter Sensitivity
+
+**ATR Period ($p$)**: Controls volatility measurement timescale. Shorter periods make stops more reactive to recent volatility spikes. Longer periods produce more stable ATR estimates but increase lag.
+
+**Multiplier ($q$)**: Directly scales the stop distance from extremes. At $q = 0.5$, stops sit at half an ATR from rolling highs/lows. At $q = 2.0$, stops provide twice the breathing room. The relationship between StopLong and StopShort gap width is monotonic in $q$.
+
+**Stop Period ($x$)**: Controls the smoothing of first stops. Shorter values make final stops more responsive. Longer values create more persistent stop levels that resist minor pullbacks.
+
+## Performance Profile
+
+### Implementation Design
+
+The implementation uses four monotonic deques for O(1) amortized rolling max/min operations (highest high, lowest low, highest first-high-stop, lowest first-low-stop) and four corresponding circular buffers. An internal RMA instance handles ATR computation.
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Complexity** | O(1) amortized | Monotonic deque operations; O(n) worst-case per element but amortized constant |
+| **Allocations** | 0 | Hot path is allocation-free; all buffers pre-allocated |
+| **Warmup** | $p + x$ bars | 19 bars with defaults |
+| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Self-consistent across streaming, batch, span, and event modes |
+| **Timeliness** | 8/10 | Responsive to trend changes; second window adds slight lag |
+| **Smoothness** | 8/10 | Double-smoothed via rolling extreme extraction |
+
+### State Management
+
+Internal state uses a `record struct` with local copy pattern for JIT struct promotion. Bar correction via `isNew` flag enables same-timestamp rewrites without state corruption. The indicator maintains previous state snapshots for rollback.
+
+## Validation
+
+Self-consistency validation confirms all four API modes produce identical results:
+
+| Mode | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Streaming** (`Update`) | ✅ | Bar-by-bar with `isNew` support |
+| **Batch** (`Update(TBarSeries)`) | ✅ | Matches streaming output |
+| **Span** (`Batch(Span)`) | ✅ | Matches streaming output |
+| **Event** (`Pub` subscription) | ✅ | Matches streaming output |
+
+| Library | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **QuanTAlib** | ✅ | All 4 modes self-consistent |
+| **TA-Lib** | N/A | Not implemented |
+| **Tulip** | N/A | Not implemented |
+| **Skender** | N/A | Not implemented |
+| **Ooples** | N/A | Not implemented |
+
+No major TA library implements Chande Kroll Stop, making this a Level 3 validation (mathematical correctness). The implementation is verified through:
+
+- Self-consistency across all API modes
+- Parameter sensitivity testing (higher multiplier narrows gap as expected)
+- NaN/Infinity robustness (last-valid-value substitution)
+- Bar correction integrity (isNew rollback)
+- Warmup convergence (IsHot transitions correctly)
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Confusing stop direction.** StopLong is *support* (below price in uptrend), computed from lowest-low + ATR. StopShort is *resistance* (above price in downtrend), computed from highest-high - ATR. The names refer to the trade direction protected, not the stop position.
+
+2. **Multiplier misconception.** Increasing $q$ does not always widen the gap between StopLong and StopShort. Higher $q$ pushes StopLong *up* (closer to price from below) and StopShort *down* (closer to price from above), actually *narrowing* the gap. This is counterintuitive but follows from the math: $\text{low} + q \times ATR$ increases with $q$, while $\text{high} - q \times ATR$ decreases.
+
+3. **Insufficient warmup.** The indicator needs $p + x$ bars before producing meaningful values. Using output before warmup completes yields stops anchored to incomplete data. Check `IsHot` before trading signals.
+
+4. **Fixed parameters across instruments.** A multiplier of 1.0 works for typical equity volatility. Crypto or forex may need $q = 1.5\text{--}3.0$ to avoid excessive whipsaws. Calibrate to the instrument's ATR distribution.
+
+5. **Ignoring consolidation zones.** When StopLong and StopShort converge, the market is range-bound. Trend-following signals during convergence produce whipsaws. Use the gap width as a regime filter.
+
+6. **ATR smoothing assumptions.** This implementation uses RMA (Wilder's) for ATR, matching PineScript's `ta.atr()`. Some references use SMA-based ATR. The choice affects stop placement during volatility transitions.
