//! Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) indicator.

use crate::error::FinError;
use crate::signals::{BarInput, Signal, SignalValue};
use rust_decimal::Decimal;
use std::collections::VecDeque;

/// Polarized Fractal Efficiency — measures trend strength and direction.
///
/// `PFE = sign(close - close[n]) × (distance / path_length) × 100`
///
/// where:
/// - `distance = sqrt((n² + Δclose²))` — straight-line efficiency
/// - `path_length = Σ sqrt(1 + (close[i] - close[i-1])²)` — actual path
///
/// Values near ±100 indicate strong trend; near 0 indicates choppy market.
/// Then a 5-bar EMA smoothing is applied to reduce noise.
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period + smoothing` bars have been seen.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::Pfe;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
///
/// let p = Pfe::new("pfe10", 10, 5).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(p.period(), 10);
/// assert!(!p.is_ready());
/// ```
