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
Deep review of all indicator categories verified .md headers against .cs WarmupPeriod, parameters, inputs, and outputs. Fixes include warmup corrections, parameter documentation, output type accuracy, and Pine Script alignment.
- Introduced Massi validation tests to ensure mathematical properties hold for the Mass Index indicator.
- Added Va validation tests for Volume Accumulation, checking for finite outputs and correct accumulation behavior.
- Implemented Vf validation tests for Volume Force, verifying outputs for rising and falling prices, and ensuring batch and streaming results match.
- Created Vo validation tests for Volume Oscillator, confirming behavior with constant, increasing, and decreasing volumes.
- Developed Vroc validation tests for Volume Rate of Change, validating outputs for constant volume and changes in volume.
- Updated project file to include new momentum indicators (MACD and RSI) in the compilation.
- 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.
- Introduced YZV class for calculating Yang-Zhang Volatility, a comprehensive volatility measure that incorporates overnight, open-to-close, and high-low components.
- Implemented calculation methods, including batch processing for TBarSeries and spans.
- Added documentation for YZV, detailing its mathematical foundation, performance profile, and trading applications.
- Updated volume index documentation to reflect changes in file paths.
- Refactored VWMA calculation method to use a more generic source parameter instead of price.
- Implemented CCV class for calculating annualized log return volatility using SMA, EMA, and WMA smoothing methods.
- Added comprehensive unit tests for CCV to validate mathematical correctness, consistency across methods, and edge cases.
- Created documentation for CCV detailing its mathematical foundation, smoothing methods, and performance metrics.
- Introduced a new CodeQL extension for C# in `.github/codeql/extensions/quantalib-csharp/codeql-pack.yml`.
- Added SonarLint configuration in `.sonarlint/CSharp/SonarLint.xml` and `.sonarlint/csharp.ruleset` to suppress specific rules for high-performance indicators.
- Removed outdated `.vscode/launch.json` configurations.
- Updated `.vscode/tasks.json` to streamline build and test tasks, including renaming and consolidating tasks.
- Modified `Directory.Build.props` to enhance SARIF output directory handling and integrate SonarLint rules.
- Refactored various indicator classes to improve code clarity and maintainability, including updates to method parameters for consistency.
- Added XML documentation comments to several classes and methods for better code understanding.
- Improved numerical stability in calculations by replacing direct comparisons with `double.Epsilon` checks in multiple classes.
Add implementation of CVI - Chaikin's Volatility class and related tests.
* **Cvi Class Implementation:**
- Add `Cvi` class in `lib/volatility/Cvi.cs` to calculate Chaikin's Volatility.
- Use high and low prices for calculation.
- Include a constructor with `period` parameter.
- Add a method to calculate Chaikin's Volatility.
* **Quantower Indicator:**
- Add `CviIndicator` class in `quantower/Volatility/CviIndicator.cs`.
- Use `Cvi` class for calculation.
- Add input parameters for `period` and `showColdValues`.
- Implement `OnInit` and `OnUpdate` methods.
* **Tests:**
- Add a test method for `Cvi` class in `Tests/test_updates_volatility.cs`.
- Use random updates to test `Cvi`.
- Ensure initial and final values are equal.
