RSI looks simple on paper. It’s a 0-100 momentum oscillator. Everyone knows what it looks like on a chart. Most developers assume implementing it is an afternoon’s work. It took me longer than I expected. Not because the math is hard, but because there are three places where a naive implementation produces wrong answers, and… Continue reading

EMA: exponential weight, old contributions shrink but never hit zero. RSI: Wilder’s smoothing, same story. MACD: two EMAs composing. ATR: Wilder’s smoothing on True Range. None of… Continue reading
48 Builds and a Crash from the Grave

An iOS crash that appeared under conditions that resisted every attempt to reproduce it reliably. If you read the first post, you know the setup: a third-party Flutter-backed ticketing SDK embedded… Continue reading
