/// ```text
/// uptrend:   high_water = max(high_water, close)
///            line       = high_water · (1 − pct/100)
///            flip down when close < line  (reseed low_water = close)
/// downtrend: low_water  = min(low_water, close)
///            line       = low_water · (1 + pct/100)
///            flip up   when close > line  (reseed high_water = close)
/// ```
///
/// Unlike volatility stops (ATR, σ-of-range), NRTR uses a pure **percentage**
/// retracement: the line trails the highest close reached in the up-leg at a
/// fixed `pct` below it, and a close that gives back that percentage reverses the
/// trend, handing the line to the opposite extreme. This makes it scale-free and
/// trivially tunable — one number sets how much retracement you tolerate. It
/// differs from a fixed percentage *stop-loss* in that it **reverses** (tracks
/// both directions) rather than just exiting.
///
/// The first bar seeds the up-trend and emits a line immediately. Each `update` is
/// O(1).
