//! Lag-1 Autocorrelation of close returns indicator.

/// Lag-1 Autocorrelation -- Pearson correlation of close returns with themselves
/// shifted one period, computed over a rolling `period`-bar window.
///
/// ```text
/// r[t]   = close[t] - close[t-1]   (raw return)
/// rho[t] = corr(r[t-1..t-period], r[t-2..t-period-1])
/// ```
///
/// A positive value near 1 indicates returns are trend-following (momentum).
/// A negative value near -1 indicates mean-reversion.
/// Near 0 indicates random walk behavior.
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period + 1` bars have been seen
/// (need at least `period` returns, which requires `period + 1` closes).
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::Autocorrelation1;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let ac = Autocorrelation1::new("ac", 20).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(ac.period(), 20);
/// ```
