//! HalfTrend indicator — ATR-channel-based trend direction signal.

/// HalfTrend — tracks trend direction using ATR-based upper/lower channels.
///
/// Maintains a rolling ATR and rolling high/low over `period` bars. The trend is
/// considered **up** when price breaks above the lower channel and **down** when
/// price breaks below the upper channel.
///
/// Outputs `1` when the trend is up, `-1` when the trend is down.
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period + 1` bars have been seen.
///
/// `amplitude` scales the ATR channel width (default `2.0` is a common choice).
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::HalfTrend;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let ht = HalfTrend::new("ht", 14, rust_decimal_macros::dec!(2)).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(ht.period(), 14);
/// ```
