//! Advance Block candlestick pattern.

use crate::ohlcv::Candle;
use crate::traits::Indicator;

/// Advance Block — a 3-bar bearish warning: three green candles still pushing to
/// higher closes, but visibly running out of steam — each real body shrinks while
/// the upper shadows lengthen, hinting the advance is about to stall.
///
/// ```text
/// all three green & higher closes
/// each opens inside the prior body
/// shrinking bodies   (body3 < body2 < body1)
/// upper shadow of bar3 >= upper shadow of bar2 and bar3 has an upper shadow
/// ```
///
/// Output is `−1.0` when the pattern completes and `0.0` otherwise. Advance Block
/// is a single-direction (bearish-only) warning, so it never emits `+1.0`. The
/// first two bars always return `0.0` because the three-bar window is not yet
/// filled. 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` bearish, `0.0` no pattern — so it drops straight into
/// a machine-learning feature matrix as a single dimension.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use wickra_core::{AdvanceBlock, Candle, Indicator};
///
/// let mut indicator = AdvanceBlock::new();
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(10.0, 13.1, 9.9, 13.0, 1.0, 0).unwrap());
/// indicator.update(Candle::new(12.0, 14.3, 11.9, 14.0, 1.0, 1).unwrap());
/// let out = indicator
///     .update(Candle::new(13.5, 15.0, 13.4, 14.5, 1.0, 2).unwrap());
/// assert_eq!(out, Some(-1.0));
