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.
- 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.
- 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.
