//! Price Path Efficiency — net price move divided by total price path over N bars.

use rust_decimal::Decimal;
use std::collections::VecDeque;

/// Price Path Efficiency — `|close[t] - close[t-N]| / sum(|close[i] - close[i-1]|)`.
///
/// Measures how efficiently price has moved toward its destination over the last
/// `period` bars:
/// - **1.0**: perfectly efficient (price moved in a straight line).
/// - **Near 0**: very noisy/choppy (much back-and-forth relative to net move).
///
/// This is the same concept as the Kaufman Efficiency Ratio but applied directly
/// to close prices rather than to the ATR/price-change calculation.
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period + 1` bars have been seen,
/// or when the total price path is zero (all closes equal).
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::PricePathEfficiency;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let ppe = PricePathEfficiency::new("ppe_10", 10).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(ppe.period(), 10);
/// ```
