///
/// RSV: Rogers-Satchell Volatility
/// A drift-adjusted volatility estimator that uses all four OHLC prices,
/// providing more accurate estimates in trending markets than range-based methods.
///
///
/// Calculation steps:
///
/// - Calculate log ratios: term1=ln(H/O), term2=ln(H/C), term3=ln(L/O), term4=ln(L/C)
/// - rsVariance = (term1 × term2) + (term3 × term4)
/// - Smooth using Simple Moving Average (SMA)
/// - volatility = √(max(0, smoothedVariance))
/// - If annualize: volatility × √(annualPeriods)
///
///
/// Key characteristics:
///
/// - Uses all OHLC data for drift adjustment
/// - SMA smoothing for stability
/// - Optional annualization (default 252 trading days)
/// - Handles trending markets better than Parkinson/GK
///
///
