## ๐Ÿš€ Quick Start

### Streaming Mode (Real-time Trading)

```rust
use velora_ta::{SMA, EMA, RSI, SingleIndicator};
use chrono::Utc;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create indicators
    let mut sma_20 = SMA::new(20)?;
    let mut ema_50 = EMA::new(50)?;
    let mut rsi_14 = RSI::new(14)?;

    // Process live data
    loop {
        let price = get_latest_price(); // Your data source
        let timestamp = Utc::now();

        if let Some(sma) = sma_20.update(price, timestamp)? {
            println!("SMA(20): {:.2}", sma);
        }

        if let Some(rsi) = rsi_14.update(price, timestamp)? {
            if rsi > 70.0 {
                println!("๐Ÿ”ด OVERBOUGHT - Consider selling");
            } else if rsi < 30.0 {
                println!("๐ŸŸข OVERSOLD - Consider buying");
            }
        }
    }

    Ok(())
}
```

### Batch Mode (Backtesting)

```rust
use velora_ta::{SMA, MACD, MultiIndicator, SingleIndicator};
use chrono::Utc;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Load historical data
    let prices = vec![100.0, 102.0, 101.0, 103.0, 104.0, 106.0, 105.0, 107.0];

    // Calculate SMA
    let sma = SMA::new(3)?;
    let sma_values = sma.calculate(&prices)?;

    // Calculate MACD (multi-value indicator)
    let macd = MACD::new(12, 26, 9)?;
    let timestamp = Utc::now();

    for price in &prices {
        if let Some(values) = macd.update(*price, timestamp)? {
            let macd_line = values[0];
            let signal_line = values[1];
            let histogram = values[2];

            println!("MACD: {:.2}, Signal: {:.2}, Hist: {:.2}",
                     macd_line, signal_line, histogram);
        }
    }

    Ok(())
}
```

### OHLC-Based Indicators

Some indicators require high/low data:

```rust
use velora_ta::{ATR, Stochastic, OhlcBar, SingleIndicator, MultiIndicator};
use chrono::Utc;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut atr = ATR::new(14)?;
    let mut stoch = Stochastic::new(14, 3)?;
    let timestamp = Utc::now();

    // OHLC bar: (open, high, low, close)
    let bar = OhlcBar::new(100.0, 105.0, 95.0, 102.0);

    // ATR for volatility
    if let Some(atr_val) = atr.update_ohlc(&bar, timestamp)? {
        println!("ATR(14): {:.2} - Volatility measurement", atr_val);
    }

    // Stochastic for momentum
    if let Some(values) = stoch.update_ohlc(&bar, timestamp)? {
        let k = values[0];  // %K
        let d = values[1];  // %D

        if k > 80.0 {
            println!("Stochastic Overbought: %K={:.2}, %D={:.2}", k, d);
        }
    }

    Ok(())
}
```

### Volume Indicators

```rust
use velora_ta::{OBV, VWAP, VolumeIndicator};
use chrono::Utc;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut obv = OBV::new();
    let mut vwap = VWAP::new();
    let timestamp = Utc::now();

    // Price-volume pairs
    let data = vec![
        (100.0, 1000.0),
        (102.0, 1500.0),
        (101.0, 1200.0),
    ];

    for (price, volume) in data {
        // OBV tracks cumulative volume direction
        if let Some(obv_val) = obv.update_with_volume(price, volume, timestamp)? {
            println!("OBV: {:.0}", obv_val);
        }

        // VWAP provides volume-weighted average
        if let Some(vwap_val) = vwap.update_with_volume(price, volume, timestamp)? {
            println!("VWAP: {:.2}", vwap_val);
        }
    }

    Ok(())
}
```

        -> Result<Option<f64>>;
    fn calculate_with_volume(&self, prices: &[f64], volumes: &[f64])
        -> Result<Vec<Option<f64>>>;
}
```

### Design Principles

1. **Streaming-first**: Optimized for real-time data processing
2. **Circular buffers**: Efficient fixed-size windows
3. **Zero-copy**: References and slices where possible
4. **Type-safe**: Strong typing for all values
5. **Error handling**: Comprehensive validation

## ๐Ÿ’ก Usage Patterns

### Trend Following Strategy

```rust
use velora_ta::{SMA, EMA, SingleIndicator};

let mut sma_fast = SMA::new(10)?;
let mut sma_slow = SMA::new(30)?;

for price in prices {
    let fast = sma_fast.update(price, timestamp)?;
    let slow = sma_slow.update(price, timestamp)?;

    match (fast, slow) {
        (Some(f), Some(s)) if f > s => println!("๐ŸŸข Uptrend - Fast > Slow"),
        (Some(f), Some(s)) if f < s => println!("๐Ÿ”ด Downtrend - Fast < Slow"),
        _ => {}
    }
}
```

### Mean Reversion Strategy

```rust
use velora_ta::{RSI, BollingerBands, SingleIndicator, MultiIndicator};

let mut rsi = RSI::new(14)?;
let mut bb = BollingerBands::new(20, 2.0)?;

for price in prices {
    let rsi_val = rsi.update(price, timestamp)?;
    let bb_vals = bb.update(price, timestamp)?;

    if let (Some(rsi), Some(bands)) = (rsi_val, bb_vals) {
        let upper = bands[0];
        let lower = bands[2];

        if price < lower && rsi < 30.0 {
            println!("๐ŸŸข OVERSOLD - Price below lower BB + RSI < 30");
        } else if price > upper && rsi > 70.0 {
            println!("๐Ÿ”ด OVERBOUGHT - Price above upper BB + RSI > 70");
        }
    }
}
```

### Volatility Breakout

```rust
use velora_ta::{ATR, BollingerBands, OhlcBar};

let mut atr = ATR::new(14)?;
let mut bb = BollingerBands::new(20, 2.0)?;

for bar in ohlc_bars {
    let atr_val = atr.update_ohlc(&bar, timestamp)?;
    let bb_vals = bb.update(bar.close, timestamp)?;

    if let (Some(atr), Some(bands)) = (atr_val, bb_vals) {
        let bandwidth = (bands[0] - bands[2]) / bands[1];

        if bandwidth < 0.02 && atr < 2.0 {
            println!("๐Ÿ“‰ Low volatility - Breakout imminent");
        }
    }
}
```

## ๐Ÿ“š API Documentation

### Common Methods

All indicators support:

```rust
// Create indicator
let mut indicator = SMA::new(period)?;

// Check status
indicator.name();            // Get indicator name
indicator.warmup_period();   // Periods needed before output
indicator.is_ready();        // Has enough data?

// Update (streaming)
indicator.update(price, timestamp)?;

// Get current value
indicator.current();

// Batch calculation
indicator.calculate(&prices)?;

// Reset state
indicator.reset();
```

## ๐Ÿงช Testing

All indicators have comprehensive tests covering:

- โœ… Creation and validation
- โœ… Invalid parameters
- โœ… Mathematical correctness
- โœ… Edge cases (NaN, Infinity, zero division)
- โœ… Warmup period behavior
- โœ… Reset functionality
- โœ… Batch vs streaming consistency

```bash
# Run all 198 tests
cargo test -p velora-ta

# Run specific indicator tests
cargo test -p velora-ta sma
cargo test -p velora-ta rsi
cargo test -p velora-ta macd
```
