//! Volatility Break indicator — flags single-bar moves larger than N × ATR.

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

/// Volatility Break — detects when a single bar's move is unusually large.
///
/// On each bar, computes the current bar's range as `(high - low)` and compares it to
/// `multiplier × ATR(period)`. Returns:
/// - `1` when the bar range exceeds `multiplier × ATR` (a volatility breakout).
/// - `0` otherwise.
///
/// This is useful for detecting gap opens, news events, or sudden liquidity vacuums.
/// Uses the simple ATR (SMA of true range) over `period` bars.
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period + 1` bars have been seen.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::VolatilityBreak;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let vb = VolatilityBreak::new("vb_14", 14, rust_decimal_macros::dec!(2)).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(vb.period(), 14);
/// ```
