//! Ladder Bottom candlestick pattern.

use crate::ohlcv::Candle;
use crate::traits::Indicator;

/// Ladder Bottom — a 5-bar bullish reversal. Three long black candles step the
/// market down like rungs of a ladder, a fourth black candle finally shows an
/// upper shadow (the first sign of buying), and a white candle then gaps up into
/// its body to confirm the turn.
///
/// ```text
/// bar1, bar2, bar3 black, with consecutively lower opens AND closes
/// bar4 black with an upper shadow         (high4 > open4)
/// bar5 white, opens above bar4's body      (open5 > open4)  and closes up
/// ```
///
/// Output is `+1.0` when the pattern completes and `0.0` otherwise. Ladder Bottom
/// is a single-direction (bullish-only) reversal, so it never emits `−1.0`. The
/// first four bars always return `0.0` because the five-bar window is not yet
/// filled. Pattern-shape check only — no trend filter is applied; combine with a
/// trend indicator for actionable signals.
///
/// # Signed ±1 encoding
///
/// This detector emits the uniform candlestick sign convention shared across the
/// pattern family — `+1.0` bullish, `0.0` no pattern — so it drops straight into
/// a machine-learning feature matrix as a single dimension.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use wickra_core::{Candle, Indicator, LadderBottom};
///
/// let mut indicator = LadderBottom::new();
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(20.0, 20.1, 17.9, 18.0, 1.0, 0).unwrap());
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(18.0, 18.1, 15.9, 16.0, 1.0, 1).unwrap());
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(16.0, 16.1, 13.9, 14.0, 1.0, 2).unwrap());
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(14.0, 15.0, 12.4, 12.5, 1.0, 3).unwrap());
/// let out = indicator
///     .update(Candle::new(15.0, 17.1, 14.9, 17.0, 1.0, 4).unwrap());
/// assert_eq!(out, Some(1.0));
/// ```
