Definitions
In plain terms
A zero seed makes the first reported level reproducible and easy to audit.
Technical
The Batch 010 contract sets ADL_0 = 0 and applies the first bar's MFV at index 0.
Scope
Changing the seed shifts the level without changing per-bar MFV values.
Examples
- A reviewer computes ADL Initial Seed from a small OHLCV fixture and checks readiness, units, and edge cases before publication.
Common misconceptions
- Changing the seed shifts the level without changing per-bar MFV values.
