/// Elder Ray — Alexander Elder's Bull Power / Bear Power oscillator.
///
/// An EMA of the close marks the market's consensus of value; the bar's high and
/// low relative to it measure how far the bulls and bears could push price away
/// from that consensus:
///
/// ```text
/// ema       = EMA(close, period)
/// BullPower = high - ema
/// BearPower = low  - ema
/// ```
///
/// Bull Power is normally positive (the high prints above the mean) and Bear
/// Power normally negative (the low prints below it). Their behaviour relative
/// to zero and to the EMA's slope drives Elder's signals: e.g. in an uptrend
/// (rising EMA), a bounce in a negative-but-rising Bear Power is a buy setup.
///
/// The first reading lands once the inner EMA is seeded, at bar `period`.
///
/// # Example

/// let mut er = ElderRay::new(13).unwrap();
/// let mut last = None;
/// for i in 0..40 {
///     let base = 100.0 + f64::from(i);
