/// Trade-Sign Autocorrelation — the lag-1 autocorrelation of the **trade sign**
/// (`+1` buy, `−1` sell), measuring how strongly signed order flow persists.
///
/// ```text
/// s_t  = +1 if the trade is a buy, −1 if a sell
/// ρ1   = mean over the window of ( s_t · s_{t−1} )      ∈ [−1, +1]
/// ```
///
/// In real markets trade signs are strongly **positively** autocorrelated: a buy
/// tends to be followed by another buy (and a sell by a sell), because large
/// parent orders are split into many child trades and because of order-splitting
/// and herding. A high reading therefore indicates persistent directional pressure
/// — a footprint of informed or algorithmic execution — while a reading near zero
/// signals balanced, uninformed flow and a negative reading signals alternating
/// (bid-ask bounce) flow.
///
/// The output is the mean product of consecutive signs, bounded in `[−1, +1]`. The
/// first value lands after `period` trades. Each `update` is O(`period`).
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use wickra_core::{Indicator, Side, Trade, TradeSignAutocorrelation};
///
/// let mut indicator = TradeSignAutocorrelation::new(20).unwrap();
/// let mut last = None;
/// for i in 0..40 {
///     let side = if i % 2 == 0 { Side::Buy } else { Side::Sell };
///     last = indicator.update(Trade::new(100.0, 1.0, side, i).unwrap());
/// }
/// // Perfectly alternating signs -> autocorrelation -1.
/// assert!((last.unwrap() + 1.0).abs() < 1e-9);
