//! Slope Oscillator — measures acceleration of an EMA as the change in its slope.

use crate::error::FinError;
use crate::signals::{BarInput, Signal, SignalValue};
use rust_decimal::Decimal;

/// Slope Oscillator — the bar-over-bar change in an EMA's per-bar slope.
///
/// This is a second-derivative measure: it answers "is the moving average
/// speeding up or slowing down?" Positive values indicate the EMA is
/// accelerating upward; negative values indicate deceleration or reversal.
///
/// Algorithm:
/// 1. Compute `EMA(period)` on each bar.
/// 2. Compute the slope as `ema_now - ema_prev`.
/// 3. Output `slope_now - slope_prev` (the change in slope = EMA acceleration).
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] for the first two bars after the EMA warms up
/// (two slopes are needed to compute a change).
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::SlopeOscillator;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let so = SlopeOscillator::new("so_10", 10).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(so.period(), 10);
/// ```
