Schaff Trend Cycle

Can MACD's trend difference be normalized into a bounded cycle-like state? Walk the evidence clock one stage at a time. This lab teaches the publication contract; it does not simulate returns, platform parity, or trade performance.

Selected expression

STC = double-smoothed stochastic normalization of MACD over a cycle window

Availability rule

An output at t may use only finite, basis-consistent observations available through t; chart alignment never moves the information clock backward.

Verified synthetic fixture

This lab is paired with datasets/implementation-fixtures.json: 96 deterministic, oldest-to-newest observations spanning oscillating, rising, and moderating regimes. It is teaching data—not market history or predictive evidence.
