/// Returns the **midpoint** `(highest_high + lowest_low) / 2` as the scalar value.

/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::PriceChannel;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
///
/// let pc = PriceChannel::new("pc20", 20).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(pc.period(), 20);
/// assert!(!pc.is_ready());
