//! Outside Bar Count indicator -- rolling count of outside bars.

/// Outside Bar Count -- rolling count of outside bars over the last `period` comparisons.
///
/// An outside bar has `high > prev_high AND low < prev_low`, meaning it completely
/// engulfs the previous bar's range. Such bars often signal volatility expansion
/// or indecision before a significant directional move.
///
/// ```text
/// outside[t] = 1 if high[t] > high[t-1] AND low[t] < low[t-1], else 0
/// count[t]   = sum(outside, period)
/// ```
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period` bars have been accumulated
/// (the first bar has no prior bar to compare against, so contributes 0).
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::OutsideBarCount;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let obc = OutsideBarCount::new("obc", 10).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(obc.period(), 10);
/// ```
