//! Stalled Pattern (Deliberation) candlestick pattern.
use crate::ohlcv::Candle;
use crate::traits::Indicator;
/// Stalled Pattern (also called Deliberation) — a 3-bar bearish reversal warning.
/// Two long white candles push higher, then a small-bodied white candle opens at
/// or near the top of the second body and barely advances — the rally is running
/// out of breath, hinting that buyers are losing control.
///
/// ```text
/// long body = |close − open| >= 0.5 * (high − low)
/// small body = |close − open| <= 0.3 * (high − low)
/// bar1, bar2 long white; bar3 small white
/// rising closes: close3 > close2 > close1
/// bar3 rides the shoulder: open3 >= close2 − 0.1 * (high2 − low2)
/// ```
///
/// Output is `−1.0` when the pattern completes and `0.0` otherwise. Stalled Pattern
/// is a single-direction (bearish-only) warning, so it never emits `+1.0`. The
/// first two bars always return `0.0` because the three-bar window is not yet
/// filled. Body thresholds follow 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` bearish, `0.0` no pattern — so it drops straight into
/// a machine-learning feature matrix as a single dimension.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use wickra_core::{Candle, Indicator, StalledPattern};
///
/// let mut indicator = StalledPattern::new();
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(10.0, 12.05, 9.9, 12.0, 1.0, 0).unwrap());
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(11.0, 14.05, 10.9, 14.0, 1.0, 1).unwrap());
/// let out = indicator
/// .update(Candle::new(14.0, 14.6, 13.95, 14.15, 1.0, 2).unwrap());
/// assert_eq!(out, Some(-1.0));
