Calculation notes
- Uses high-low ranges of an even window and its two halves to adapt smoothing. The selected source supplies the smoothed price, seeded by its full-period simple average. Smoothing stays within the chosen 0.01 to 1 bounds; flat ranges retain the previous dimension. Gaps restart the calculation.
