//! Price Change MAD indicator.
//!
//! Rolling mean absolute deviation of raw close-to-close price changes.
//! Unlike historical volatility (std dev of returns), this is in price units
//! and uses MAD — more robust to outliers.

/// Price Change MAD — rolling mean of `|close[i] - close[i-1]|`.
///
/// ```text
/// change[i] = |close[i] - close[i-1]|
/// MAD[t]    = mean(change[t-period+1 .. t])
/// ```
///
/// This measures the typical absolute price movement per bar in price units.
/// Useful for:
/// - Position sizing in price-delta terms (vs vol-based sizing).
/// - Detecting periods of low-activity compression.
/// - Comparing liquidity across instruments with similar prices.
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period` changes are collected
/// (`period + 1` bars).
///
/// # Errors
/// Returns [`FinError::InvalidPeriod`] if `period == 0`.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::PriceChangeMad;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let pcm = PriceChangeMad::new("pcm_14", 14).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(pcm.period(), 14);
/// ```
