**Route**: `/quantnexus/indicators/dv2/`

## What It Does

DV2 is a utility-style indicator that can be used to measure directional movement behavior across a lookback window.

## Formula

DV2 is derived from a directional movement style computation over the selected period.

## Parameters

- `period` - default `252`
- `maperiod` - default `2`
- `_movav` - default `SMA`

## C++23 API

```cpp
#include <nonabt/indicators/dv2.hpp>
auto dv2 = std::make_unique<nonabt::DV2>(data(), 252, 2, "SMA");
```

## Common Usage

- Use DV2 as a custom directional signal helper.
- Combine it with threshold logic or crossover logic.
- Helpful when you need a raw movement-derived value.

## Practical Pattern

DV2 is best treated as a building block for more specific momentum or direction rules.
