5/// The `CandleStream` provides detection capabilities for powerful multi-candle patterns
6///
7/// - **Reversal Patterns**: Engulfing, Harami, Morning/Evening Stars, Doji Stars
8/// - **Continuation Patterns**: Three White Soldiers, Three Black Crows
9/// - **Top/Bottom Formations**: Dark Cloud Cover and other significant reversal signals
10///
11/// These formations often provide stronger trading signals than single-candle patterns,
12/// offering insights into potential trend reversals, continuations, or exhaustion points.
13/// Each pattern detection method includes detailed documentation about market context
14/// and trading significance.
15///
16/// # Examples
17///
18/// ```
19/// use candlestick_rs::{CandleStick, CandleStream};
20///
21/// // Create a new stream and add candles
22/// let candle1 = (100.0, 105.0, 99.0, 104.0);
23/// let candle2 = (104.5, 110.0, 104.0, 109.0);
24///
25/// let mut stream = CandleStream::new();
