Comprehensive refactor across all indicators replacing the periodic
ResyncInterval-based drift correction (every 1000 ticks recalculate
from scratch) with Kahan compensated summation for running sums.
Key changes:
- Remove ResyncInterval constants and TickCount fields from all State records
- Add Kahan compensation fields (SumComp, SumSqComp, etc.) to State records
- Replace naive sum += val - removed with Kahan delta pattern
- Remove Resync()/RecalculateSum() methods that did O(N) recalculation
- Update batch/SIMD paths to use Kahan compensation instead of resync loops
- IIR filters (EMA, REMA, RGMA) simplified: inherently self-correcting
- Version bump to 0.8.7
- Build system: README version stamping via Directory.Build.props
- Minor doc/test tolerance adjustments for new numerical characteristics
Affected modules: channels, core, cycles, dynamics, errors, momentum,
oscillators, statistics, trends_FIR, trends_IIR, volatility, volume
Complete thin Dx-composition wrapper indicators with full test coverage:
- PlusDi/MinusDi: Directional Indicator wrappers (DiPlus/DiMinus from Dx)
- PlusDm/MinusDm: Directional Movement wrappers (DmPlus/DmMinus from Dx)
- Individual validation tests per indicator directory (TALib, Skender, bounds)
- Combined unit tests (DiDm.Tests.cs) and validation tests (DiDm.Validation.Tests.cs)
- Quantower wrappers + tests for all 4 indicators
- PineScript v6 implementations with compensated RMA
- Normalized .md documentation for all indicators and categories
- 182 tests passing, 0 failures
- Implemented the TRAMA (Trend Regularity Adaptive Moving Average) class with adaptive EMA logic.
- Added unit tests for TRAMA functionality, including constructor validation, basic calculations, state management, and robustness checks.
- Created validation tests to ensure consistency across different modes of operation (streaming, batch, and static calculations).
- Enhanced documentation for TRAMA, including performance profiles and quality metrics.
- Updated workspace configuration by removing unnecessary folder references.
- LTMA (Linear Trend Moving Average): Introduces a predictive moving average using dual cascaded EMAs for trend estimation.
- MCNMA (McNicholl EMA): Implements a zero-lag TEMA using a cascaded EMA structure for enhanced responsiveness.
- NLMA (Non-Lag Moving Average): Utilizes a damped cosine kernel to achieve reduced lag in moving averages.
- NMA (Natural Moving Average): Adapts smoothing based on volatility profiles using a square-root kernel.
- NYQMA (Nyquist Moving Average): Applies the Nyquist-Shannon theorem to prevent aliasing in cascaded moving averages.
- RAIN (Rainbow Moving Average): Combines multiple SMA layers with weighted averages for multi-scale smoothing.
- TRAMA (Trend Regularity Adaptive Moving Average): Adapts smoothing based on the frequency of new highs and lows in price data.
- Added detailed comments explaining the validation limitations for MMA and ZLEMA due to differences in algorithm implementations.
- Implemented validation tests for True Range against TALib and Tulip, ensuring directional agreement.
- Updated Ulcer Index validation to clarify differences in algorithmic approaches between QuanTAlib and Skender.
- Enhanced Ease of Movement tests to verify directional agreement with Tulip's EMV, noting differences in volume scaling.
- Expanded Klinger Volume Oscillator tests to validate against Skender and Tulip, focusing on directional agreement across multiple period configurations.
- Improved Negative Volume Index tests to compare percentage changes with Tulip, addressing differences in starting values.
- Updated Positive Volume Index tests to validate against Tulip, emphasizing percentage change comparisons.
- Enhanced Williams Accumulation/Distribution tests to verify directional agreement with Tulip, highlighting formula differences.
- Implemented ChopIndicator for Quantower with configurable period and cold value display.
- Created Chop class for calculating the Choppiness Index with detailed documentation.
- Added comprehensive unit tests for Chop functionality, covering various market conditions and edge cases.
- Developed markdown documentation for CHOP, detailing its historical context, mathematical foundation, and usage examples.
- Established a remediation plan for channel indicators documentation, identifying gaps and prioritizing updates.
