F2: add ZLEMA, T3 and VWMA advanced moving averages
Completes the F2 family (Advanced MAs) end to end: - Rust core: zlema.rs (Zero-Lag EMA over the de-lagged series 2·price − price[lag]), t3.rs (Tillson's six-EMA cascade with the volume-factor polynomial), vwma.rs (volume-weighted rolling mean with a zero-volume fallback to the unweighted mean). Each with a full Indicator impl, runnable doctest and reference-value / warmup / reset / batch==streaming / non-finite tests. - Python: PyZlema / PyT3 / PyVwma PyO3 classes + module registration + .pyi stubs (T3 defaults v=0.7). - Node: ZlemaNode via the scalar macro, explicit T3Node and VwmaNode classes; index.d.ts and index.js updated. - WASM: WasmZlema / WasmT3 via the scalar macro, explicit WasmVwma. - Wiki: Indicator-Zlema.md, Indicator-T3.md, Indicator-Vwma.md plus rows in Indicators-Overview.md and entries in Home.md. cargo fmt + clippy (core/wickra/data/wasm/node) clean; 232 core tests, 25 data tests and 33 doctests green.

# ZLEMA
|
||||
|
||||
> Zero-Lag Exponential Moving Average — an EMA fed a de-lagged price series
|
||||
> so it tracks turns with almost no group delay.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick reference
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Value |
|
||||
|-------|-------|
|
||||
| Family | Trend |
|
||||
| Sub-category | Exponential family |
|
||||
| Input type | `f64` (single close) |
|
||||
| Output type | `f64` |
|
||||
| Output range | unbounded; tracks the input price scale |
|
||||
| Default parameters | `period` is required (no default in either binding) |
|
||||
| Warmup period | `lag + period` where `lag = (period − 1) / 2` |
|
||||
| Interpretation | Low-lag trend line; crossings of price react far sooner than a plain EMA. |
|
||||
|
||||
## Formula
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
lag = (period − 1) / 2 (integer division)
|
||||
de_lagged_t = 2·price_t − price_{t−lag}
|
||||
ZLEMA_t = EMA_period(de_lagged)_t
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The trick (Ehlers & Way, 2010): `price_t − price_{t−lag}` is a momentum
|
||||
term. Adding it to the current price *over-shoots* in the direction of the
|
||||
recent move by exactly enough to cancel the EMA's lag. The inner EMA then
|
||||
smooths that de-lagged series with the usual `α = 2 / (period + 1)`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
| Name | Type | Default | Valid range | Description |
|
||||
|----------|---------|---------|-------------|-------------|
|
||||
| `period` | `usize` | none | `>= 1` | EMA length. `period = 0` errors with `Error::PeriodZero`. The lag offset is derived as `(period − 1) / 2`. |
|
||||
|
||||
There is no Python `#[pyo3(signature = …)]` default for `ZLEMA`, so
|
||||
`wickra.ZLEMA(period)` requires the period explicitly. The derived `lag`
|
||||
is exposed as a read-only property.
|
||||
|
||||
## Inputs / Outputs
|
||||
|
||||
From `crates/wickra-core/src/indicators/zlema.rs`:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
impl Indicator for Zlema {
|
||||
type Input = f64;
|
||||
type Output = f64;
|
||||
// update(&mut self, input: f64) -> Option<f64>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A single `f64` close in, an `Option<f64>` out. Python maps this to
|
||||
`float | None` / `numpy.ndarray` (NaN warmup); Node to `number | null` /
|
||||
`Array<number>` (NaN warmup).
|
||||
|
||||
## Warmup
|
||||
|
||||
`Zlema::new(period).warmup_period() == lag + period`. The de-lagged series
|
||||
is undefined until `lag` prior inputs exist, so it produces its first
|
||||
value on input `lag + 1`; the inner EMA then needs `period` de-lagged
|
||||
values to seed. The first non-`None` output therefore lands on input
|
||||
`lag + period`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Edge cases
|
||||
|
||||
- **Constant series.** De-lagging a constant gives the same constant
|
||||
(`2c − c = c`), so `ZLEMA` of a flat series is flat
|
||||
(`constant_series_yields_the_constant` pins this).
|
||||
- **NaN / infinity inputs.** Non-finite inputs are silently dropped: the
|
||||
rolling lag buffer is not advanced and the inner EMA is not fed, so the
|
||||
previous valid value (if any) is returned.
|
||||
- **`period = 1`.** `lag = 0`, the de-lagged series equals the raw price,
|
||||
and `ZLEMA(1)` degenerates to a pass-through.
|
||||
- **Reset.** `zlema.reset()` clears the lag buffer and the inner EMA.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Rust
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use wickra::{BatchExt, Indicator, Zlema};
|
||||
|
||||
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
|
||||
let mut zlema = Zlema::new(3)?;
|
||||
let out: Vec<Option<f64>> = zlema.batch(&[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]);
|
||||
println!("{:?}", out);
|
||||
println!("lag = {}, warmup_period = {}", zlema.lag(), zlema.warmup_period());
|
||||
Ok(())
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Output:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[None, None, None, Some(4.0), Some(5.0)]
|
||||
lag = 1, warmup_period = 4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`ZLEMA(3)` has `lag = 1`. The de-lagged series of `[1,2,3,4,5]` is
|
||||
`[_, 3, 4, 5, 6]`; `EMA(3)` of that seeds at `mean(3,4,5) = 4.0`, then
|
||||
`0.5·6 + 0.5·4 = 5.0`. This matches the `reference_values` test in
|
||||
`crates/wickra-core/src/indicators/zlema.rs`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Python
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import numpy as np
|
||||
import wickra as ta
|
||||
|
||||
zlema = ta.ZLEMA(3)
|
||||
print(zlema.batch(np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0])))
|
||||
print("lag =", zlema.lag, "warmup_period =", zlema.warmup_period())
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Output:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[nan nan nan 4. 5.]
|
||||
lag = 1 warmup_period = 4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Node
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const ta = require('wickra');
|
||||
const zlema = new ta.ZLEMA(3);
|
||||
console.log(zlema.batch([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));
|
||||
console.log('warmupPeriod:', zlema.warmupPeriod());
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Output:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[ NaN, NaN, NaN, 4, 5 ]
|
||||
warmupPeriod: 4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Interpretation
|
||||
|
||||
`Zlema` is a low-lag trend line. Use it where an `Ema` would lag too much
|
||||
into a reversal — for example as the fast leg of a crossover system, or
|
||||
as a trailing reference that should react quickly. The momentum injection
|
||||
that removes the lag also makes `Zlema` overshoot on sharp spikes, so it
|
||||
is noisier than the `Ema` it is built on; pair it with a slower filter if
|
||||
whipsaws are a concern.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common pitfalls
|
||||
|
||||
- **Expecting `Ema`-identical values.** `Zlema` is deliberately *not* an
|
||||
`Ema` — it leads price. The two only coincide for `period = 1`.
|
||||
- **Forgetting the extra warmup.** Warmup is `lag + period`, not `period`;
|
||||
budget `(period − 1) / 2` extra bars before the first output.
