/// The Hurst Channel sizes its envelope by the *realised* high-low range of
/// the window — a simpler, range-based volatility proxy than Bollinger's
/// rolling stddev or Keltner's ATR. With a `multiplier` of `0.5` the channel
/// reduces to a centerline that hugs the midpoint of the Donchian envelope;
/// chart vendors that follow Hurst's cycle work commonly use `period = 10` and
/// `multiplier = 0.5` for the "inner" channel.
///
