//! High-Low Range — the bar range as a fraction of close.

use crate::ohlcv::Candle;

/// High-Low Range — the bar's high-low range expressed as a fraction of its
/// close price.
///
/// ```text
/// HighLowRange = (high − low) / close
/// ```
///
/// A scale-free, single-bar volatility proxy: the absolute range `high − low`
/// grows with the nominal price level, so dividing by the close makes a `2$`
/// range on a `100$` instrument (`0.02`) directly comparable to a `200$` range
/// on a `10000$` one (`0.02`). It is the per-bar cousin of average-true-range
/// style measures without the smoothing — useful as an instant intrabar
/// volatility read or a normaliser for other features. The output is `≥ 0`
/// for positive prices. A zero close carries no scale and yields `0`.
///
/// This is a stateless per-bar transform: every candle produces one value.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use wickra_core::{Candle, Indicator, HighLowRange};
///
/// let mut indicator = HighLowRange::new();
/// // range 104 - 98 = 6, close 100 -> 0.06.
/// let c = Candle::new(99.0, 104.0, 98.0, 100.0, 10.0, 0).unwrap();
/// assert!((indicator.update(c).unwrap() - 0.06).abs() < 1e-12);
/// ```
