/// Polarized Fractal Efficiency: how efficiently price travelled over the last
/// `period` bars, signed by direction and smoothed by an EMA.
///
/// ```text
/// straight  = sqrt((C_t - C_{t-n})^2 + n^2)            (direct distance over n bars)
/// path      = Σ_{i=1..n} sqrt((C_{t-i+1} - C_{t-i})^2 + 1)   (sum of single-bar steps)
/// raw       = 100 * sign(C_t - C_{t-n}) * straight / path
/// PFE       = EMA(raw, smoothing)
/// ```
///
/// The ratio `straight / path` is the fractal efficiency: it is `1` when price
/// moved in a perfectly straight line and falls toward `0` as the path becomes
/// jagged. Polarizing it by the sign of the net move pushes the reading to
/// `+100` for an efficient up-move and `-100` for an efficient down-move, with
/// choppy markets oscillating near zero. Because each single-bar step and the
/// `n`-bar diagonal both carry the bar count on the x-axis (`+1` and `+n^2`),
/// the path length is always `>= n`, so the denominator can never be zero.
///
