/// Volatility Stop — a trailing stop level computed as `price ± multiplier × ATR`.
///
/// Similar to Chandelier Exit but uses a simpler directional flip logic:
/// - In a **long** regime: stop = `highest_close(period) - multiplier × ATR`
/// - In a **short** regime: stop = `lowest_close(period) + multiplier × ATR`
///
/// The regime flips when the close crosses the current stop level.
///
/// The scalar output is the stop price. Use [`VolatilityStop::is_long`] to
/// determine the current regime.
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period + 1` bars have been seen
/// (requires `period` bars to compute the initial ATR).
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::VolatilityStop;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// use rust_decimal_macros::dec;
///
/// let vs = VolatilityStop::new("vstop", 10, dec!(2)).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(vs.period(), 10);
/// ```
