"""Does Deribit's DVOL improve the live HAR price range?
The live range sizes its variance with a HAR blend of the last day, week and
month (backtest_range_upgrades.py). DVOL is the options market's 30-day
expectation of volatility: forward-looking information the price series does
not contain. Here it enters the same log-linear HAR regression as a fourth
input, implied hourly variance (DVOL/100)^2 / 8760, on the same walk-forward
quarters and scoring, against HAR without it on identical hours.
Usage:
python scripts/backtest_range_dvol.py
