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.
