/// Three Black Crows pattern detector.
///
/// The bearish mirror of Three White Soldiers: three consecutive strong bearish
/// candles, each opening within the prior bar's body and closing near the low.
/// Signals strong downward momentum.
///
/// Criteria for each of the three bars:
/// - Bearish (close < open).
/// - Body ≥ `min_body_pct` of range.
/// - Close ≤ `close_near_low_pct` of range from the low.
///
/// Output:
/// - `-1.0` — Three Black Crows detected.
/// - `0.0`  — No pattern.
///
/// Returns `SignalValue::Unavailable` until 3 bars have been accumulated.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::ThreeBlackCrows;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let tbc = ThreeBlackCrows::new("tbc", 60, 30).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(tbc.period(), 3);
/// ```
