// The theory behind the indexes is as follows: On days of increasing volume,
// you can expect prices to increase, and on days of decreasing volume, you can
// expect prices to decrease. This goes with the idea of the market being in-gear
// and out-of-gear. Both PVI and NVI work in similar fashions: Both are a running
// cumulative of values, which means you either keep adding or subtracting price
// rate of change each day to the previous day`s sum. In the case of PVI, if today`s
// volume is less than yesterday`s, don`t add anything; if today`s volume is greater,
// then add today`s price rate of change. For NVI, add today`s price rate of change
// only if today`s volume is less than yesterday`s.
