R10 / Range Stat in JavaScript

One-tenth of the typical daily range (mean+stddev of high-low over 30 prior bars), the standard minimum-manageable-risk sizing box.

Concept: what R10 means →

Verified. Python and JavaScript implementations agree to 1.11e-16 on a 60-bar reference high/low series (canonical Python (edge-scan) vs JavaScript, comparable positions).

JavaScript

/**
 * R10 / Range Stat: one-tenth of the typical daily range.
 *
 * R10 = (mean(range) + populationStdDev(range)) / 10 over the 30 EOD bars
 * STRICTLY BEFORE the current bar (current bar excluded -> no look-ahead).
 * `range` is high - low per bar. This is the standard minimum-manageable-risk
 * box used for position sizing.
 *
 * Faithful to edge-canvas calcR10 (window = slice(-(n+1), -1), n<=30).
 *
 * @param {number[]} high - bar highs, ascending by date
 * @param {number[]} low  - bar lows, ascending by date
 * @returns {(number|null)[]} r10[i] uses the 30 bars before index i;
 *                            null where fewer than 2 prior bars exist
