/// Williams VIX Fix (WVF) — a synthetic volatility/fear indicator.
///
/// ```text
/// WVF = (highest_close(period) - current_low) / highest_close(period) * 100
/// ```
///
/// Readings above the threshold (often 1.5-2x StdDev or a fixed level like 15)
/// suggest capitulation lows and potential reversals.
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period` bars have been seen.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::VixFix;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
///
/// let vf = VixFix::new("vf22", 22).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(vf.period(), 22);
/// ```
