//! Matching Low candlestick pattern.
use crate::ohlcv::Candle;
use crate::traits::Indicator;
/// Matching Low — a 2-bar bullish reversal. Two black candles in a decline close
/// at the *same* level: the second sell-off cannot push price any lower, so the
/// matching closes mark a support floor.
///
/// ```text
/// bar1, bar2 both black
/// equal closes = |close2 − close1| <= 0.05 · mean(range1, range2)
/// ```
///
/// Output is `+1.0` when the pattern completes and `0.0` otherwise. Matching Low
/// is a single-direction (bullish-only) reversal, so it never emits `−1.0`. The
/// first bar always returns `0.0` because the two-bar window is not yet filled.
/// The close-equality tolerance follows the geometric house style rather than
/// TA-Lib's rolling averages. 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, MatchingLow};
///
/// let mut indicator = MatchingLow::new();
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(15.0, 15.1, 9.9, 10.0, 1.0, 0).unwrap());
/// let out = indicator
/// .update(Candle::new(13.0, 13.1, 9.9, 10.0, 1.0, 1).unwrap());
/// assert_eq!(out, Some(1.0));
/// ```
