//! Mat Hold candlestick pattern.
use crate::error::{Error, Result};
use crate::ohlcv::Candle;
use crate::traits::Indicator;
/// Mat Hold — a 5-bar bullish continuation. A long white candle is followed by a
/// brief three-bar pullback that gaps up and then drifts on small bodies *without*
/// surrendering much ground, after which a white candle breaks to a new high and
/// the uptrend resumes.
///
/// ```text
/// long body = |close − open| >= 0.5 * (high − low)
/// bar1 white & long
/// bar2 small body gapping up above bar1 (min(o2,c2) > close1)
/// bar2, bar3, bar4 each small (|body| <= 0.5 · body1)
/// the pullback holds (min low of bars 2..4 > close1 − penetration·body1)
/// bar5 white, closing at a new high (close5 > max high of bars 1..4)
/// ```
///
/// Output is `+1.0` when the pattern completes and `0.0` otherwise. Mat Hold is a
/// single-direction (bullish-only) continuation, so it never emits `−1.0`. The
/// first four bars always return `0.0` because the five-bar window is not yet
/// filled. `penetration` is how far the pullback may retrace into the first body;
/// it defaults to `0.5` (TA-Lib's `CDLMATHOLD` default) and must lie in `[0, 1)`.
/// 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` bullish, `0.0` no pattern — so it drops straight into
/// a machine-learning feature matrix as a single dimension.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use wickra_core::{Candle, Indicator, MatHold};
///
/// let mut indicator = MatHold::new();
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(10.0, 15.1, 9.9, 15.0, 1.0, 0).unwrap());
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(16.0, 16.1, 15.4, 15.5, 1.0, 1).unwrap());
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(15.5, 15.6, 14.9, 15.0, 1.0, 2).unwrap());
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(15.0, 15.1, 14.4, 14.5, 1.0, 3).unwrap());
/// let out = indicator
/// .update(Candle::new(14.5, 17.1, 14.4, 17.0, 1.0, 4).unwrap());
